| It is coated with poison. |
Poisoned is a brand that darts may have. Such throwing weapons will usually poison any non-resistant monsters they hit. Poisoning a target multiple times will strengthen the effect, causing it to deal more damage per turn and take longer to run its course.
Strategy
- Poison is strong in the early Dungeon. One dart can kill most D:1 monsters. Multiple darts can soften all sorts of enemies before they get into melee. You don't need any Throwing skill to take advantage of them.
- Poison works very well with a scroll of immolation (or Inner Flame). Every time poison damages a monster with Inner Flame, a flame cloud is created on the monster, greatly increasing the damage output. Plus, you'll get all the explosions at the end.
History
- Prior to 0.24, javelins and tomahawks could spawn with this brand.
- Prior to 0.20, The Shining One disapproved of the use of poisoned weapons.
- Prior to 0.18, arrows, bolts, and sling bullets could have this brand.
