'''Damnation''' is an extremely dangerous damage type that is virtually irresistible. It is always dealt in 3×3-tile blasts that never miss and is one of the main threats in [[Pandemonium]] and the [[Hell]] branches.
  
'''Hellfire''' is a beam-targeted spell which delivers an extremely damaging cloud of [[fire]]: it ignores all [[fire resistance]], ignores [[AC]], and cannot be [[ev]]aded in any way.

Version 0.22: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This article is about the damage type. For the artefact crossbow by this name, see Damnation (unrand).

The following enemies may be able to cast Call Down Damnation, depending on their spell set:

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.)

  • Staff of dispater.png 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.
  • Urand damnation.png 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.
