Desirability
"Snakebite" is a rather useful weapon for much of the game, providing somewhat powerful, fast attacks with a unique brand and a useful resistance. In addition to its regular poison effect, it has a chance to inflict curare on 40% of hits, slowing and asphyxiating affected enemies. However, its base damage is fairly low, making it a poor choice for handling high-AC enemies, and its brand proves useless against anything with poison resistance, including the many demonic and undead opponents you'll find in the end-game.
History
Before 0.19 Snakenbite merely poisoned opponents instead of inflicting curare poison.
Prior to 0.15, Snakebite had an enchantment of +5.
Prior to 0.14, Snakebite had an enchantment of +5, +10, but could only inflict mundane poison.
