| A set of dormant, magnetic earth elementals in the form of tiny, very heavy pebbles. When released, the elementals are drawn magnetically to the center of nearby monsters, where they literally explode with rage at their rest being disturbed. Tremorstones usually land slightly off-target, and the user is always at risk of being hit. However, armour is extremely effective at repelling the lightweight fragments of rock from a tremorstone's explosion, so a well-armoured wielder has little to fear. Evocations skill increases the number of the elementals' explosions. |
A tin of tremorstones is an evocable item that generates several explosions of shrapnel. These are aimed in the general direction of nearby enemies, but there is always a risk of getting caught in the explosions yourself. Damage by the explosions is reduced thrice by AC, rather than once.
Contents
Useful Info=
Each charge of a tin of tremorstones will create 1 + 2 * log2(1 + (Evocations/6)) explosions - at 27 Evocations, you'll get 6 explosions.[1]. Explosions are 5x5, and each explosion deals 6d6 damage, independent of your Evocations skill.[2] Explosions have a to-hit of 40.
Each explosion will find the cell that is 1. within 3 tiles from you and 2. hits the most visible monsters. The explosion will fire 0-1 tiles away from that cell. If there are no visible targets, then the explosion will explode at a random tile.
A tin of tremorstones holds up to two charges, which are gradually replenished as you gain experience.
This item is mutually exclusive with the condenser vane. Like with other miscellaneous evocables, only 1 tin of tremorstones will spawn in a given game.
Strategy
A good item for crowd-control. Damage is greatly reduced by AC - heavily armoured players won't have to worry much about self damage, but this item will do little against enemies with high AC.
History
- Prior to 0.30, tins of tremorstones did not alternate with the condenser vane.
- Prior to 0.26, tins of tremorstones came with three charges instead of two.
- Tins of tremorstones were introduced in 0.25. They were introduced to replace the cone-targeted wand of scattershot.
