Throatcutter
Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
| Taken from a paladin of the Shining One by the common cutpurse who murdered her, Throatcutter was used for a long series of increasingly sordid deeds thereafter. Blood, murder and betrayal stain its history and blade both, and little trace now remains of the blade which once stood between danger and the innocent. |
the +7 Throatcutter
+7 long sword
Draining brand
Has a 33% to instantly kill a foe under 21 HP.
Desirability
Throatcutter's[1] +7 enchantment and draining brand are already enough to justify it in the early game, where it is weighted to spawn. Its perk only serves to enhance its early usefulness, though enemies from the Lair onward will have enough HP to make the instant-kill less relevant.
The unique monster Terence has a small (1%) chance of spawning with this sword.
