'''Iron Shot''' is a single target, medium range attack spell that hurls a large and heavy metal bolt at the caster's foes. Similar to [[Lehudib's Crystal Spear]], it is irresistable and powerful, but can miss. At maximum [[spell power]] it deals up to 171 damage, strongly biased towards the average of 87: 9d18 with a 1/3 chance of 9d19. As it is much easier to find and cast than Lehudib's Crystal Spear, as well as being significantly more accurate, many players feel it is the superior spell.

Iron Shot is a single target, medium range attack spell that hurls a large and heavy metal bolt at the caster's foes. Similar to Lehudib's Crystal Spear, it is irresistable and powerful, but can miss or be blocked. At maximum spell power it deals up to 171 damage, strongly biased towards the average of 87: 9d18 with a 1/3 chance of 9d19. As it is much easier to find and cast than Lehudib's Crystal Spear, many players feel it is the superior spell.

Monster Spell

When cast by monsters, it is nearly as potent as Lehudib's Crystal Spear, and has caused the demise of many adventurers. The following monsters can cast Iron Shot:

Name HD Damage
Ynoxinul 6 3d16 (3-48)
Deep elf annihilator 15 3d28 (3-84)
Dispater 16 3d29 (3-87)
Lich 20 3d34 (3-102)
Frederick 21 3d36 (3-108)
Cerebov 21 3d36 (3-108)
The Iron Giant 22 3d37 (3-111)
Ancient lich 27 3d44 (3-132)
monster_spell_damge = 3d(8 + power / 9)
  where power = 12 * monster_hit_dice

History

Iron Shot was formerly named Bolt of Iron, and then Iron Bolt, but was renamed once more due to the fact that it did not function like the other Bolt spells.
