Desirability
The Spriggan's Knife[1] is an incredibly powerful item for stabbers. Monsters who are distracted, confused, or even those who haven't noticed you yet will often have the full force of a sleep-tier stab, which is often a one-shot with dedicated builds. Many of these stabs are effective even against monsters with extreme HD or willpower. All monsters can fail to notice you, while Gozag and allied summons or undead will often distract enemies, and only a select few monsters are immune to a throwing net. Unfortunately, it isn't much use to other characters unless you find it very early on, since an unbranded dagger is a poor weapon for general combat.
