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.
