Trunk-only: This article pertains to a feature of Crawl which is being tested. It will likely change before the next release, and may even be removed entirely.
| It has an increased chance to perform stab attacks against vulnerable targets, and temporarily increases the wielder's EV and slaying each time they do so. |
The devious brand does the following:
- Gives +10% chance to perform low-tier stabs against valid targets and a stacking boost to slaying and EV each time any stab is performed.
- Stacks up to 3 times, giving +4 EV and +3 slaying per stack, and will be maintained so long as the wielder continues to attack (though is otherwise short-lived).
- When wielded by monsters, it instead gives a flat +8 ev and +6 slaying at all times.
Sources
Devious can only exist on Short Blades. It is available through both random generation and through a scroll of brand weapon.
