Damnation Sources for the Player
There are few methods available for players to gain access to Hurl Damnation. They are all found in the late game, and usually require a heavy cost to use. (Call Down Damnation cannot be used by players by any means.)
Evoking the Staff of Dispater will reliably cast Hurl Damnation (Power = Evocations×8, max damage 3d57), but at a cost of 5-23 HP (average 14, but never fatal), 2-6 MP (average 4), and 100 food.
Bolts fired with the arbalest "Damnation" cause damnation damage.- The Hurl Hellfire Demonspawn mutation (tier 1, rank 3) allows you to cast Hurl Damnation (damage based on XP level, max 6d28 at level 27) but at a cost of 15% of your max HP per use.
All player-launched sources of damnation require a line of sight and create an unavoidable 3×3 burst:
- Range: 7
- To-Hit Number: (20+(Power/10))
- Damage: calc_dice(3, 10 + (Power * 3) / 4)
Damnation Resistance
Some monsters (typically demons) possess damnation resistance, rendering them immune to damage from damnation. Players cannot acquire damnation immunity; the only possible way to reduce damnation damage is the damage-shaving ability of deep dwarves.
History
- Prior to 0.18, damnation was known as hellfire and counted as fire damage in addition to being irresistible.
