<p>Gmarks: Has EV, not dex, also update use case</p> <hr /> <div>{{version023}}<br /> {{flavour|A dainty little knife which was made by Spriggans, or for Spriggans, or possibly from Spriggans. Anyway, it's in some way associated with those fey folk. It carves into the world of dreams, and stabs any unaware enemy as if it were asleep.}}<br /> [[File:Spriggan's_knife.png]] '''''the +7 Spriggan's Knife'''''<br /> <br /> +7 [[dagger]]<br /> <br /> Converts all [[stabbing|stabs]] to [[sleep]]-tier stabs.&lt;br&gt;<br /> +4 EV&lt;br&gt;<br /> +50 [[Stealth]]<br /> <br /> ==Desirability==<br /> The '''Spriggan's Knife''' is very useful to [[Stabbing|stabbers]], especially those relying on spells such as [[Confuse]] or [[Confusing Touch]] instead of [[Ensorcelled Hibernation]]. It is also very useful for summoners due to the distraction effect of summons granting free tier 1 stabs independent of MR or HD. Unfortunately, it isn't much use to other characters unless you find it very early on, since a [[dagger]] is a poor base weapon type.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> *Prior to [[0.23]], the Spriggan's Knife also had Dex+4 and MR+, but did not convert stabs to sleep-tier stabs.<br /> *Prior to [[0.15]], the Spriggan's Knife had a +4, +10 enchantment.<br /> *Prior to [[0.14]], the provided MR was only +20.<br /> *This weapon was upgraded from a [[knife]] to a dagger with the removal of knives in [[0.9]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Unrands]]<br /> [[Category:Short blades]]</div>

<p>Gmarks: Fix instakill chance</p> <hr /> <div>{{version023}}<br /> <br /> {{flavour|A long and exceedingly sharp scythe, capable of eviscerating in a single blow. Its extraordinary speed is the work of a mad wizard, who spent years refining it before discarding it in a fit of rage.}}<br /> [[File:Scythe_finisher.png]] '''''the +5 scythe &quot;Finisher&quot;'''''<br /> <br /> +5 [[scythe]]<br /> <br /> [[Speed brand|Speed]] brand&lt;br&gt;<br /> (50 - HD)/200 chance to instantly kill target on successful attack<br /> <br /> ==Desirability==<br /> [[Scythe]]s are usually very poor two-handed weapons, with the base damage of a one-handed weapon but the attack speed of the most powerful two-handed weapons. However, '''Finisher''''s speed brand essentially cancels out the high attack speed, and the chance to instantly kill the target makes this quite an appealing weapon. The instakill chance translates to around a 1/4 chance to kill popcorn and around a 1/10 chance to kill orbs of fire. As a [[scythe]], it isn't so great later on in the game, when you can get a good [[glaive]] or [[bardiche]] with a good brand and much better base damage, but it's a weapon worth considering if you find it early.<br /> <br /> Additionally, a [[Spectral weapon|spectral copy]] of the scythe can instantly kill enemies too.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> *Prior to [[0.23]], Finisher did not have a chance to instantly kill, but did have +3 [[strength]].<br /> *Prior to [[0.15]], &quot;Finisher&quot; had a +3, +5 enchantment level.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Unrands]]<br /> [[Category:Polearms]]</div>
