Leech

Version 0.14: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

It drives its owner's mind into a narrow purpose: gorging on drained life force.

+13, +4 demon blade

Vampiric brand effect, activated on every hit
-1 EV
-1 STR
-1 INT
-1 DEX
rN+

Desirability

A vampiric demon blade is a very nice thing to have, and the slight stat, AC and EV costs are reasonably well worth it. You may wish to switch to something more damaging if you run into a particularly nasty undead enemy; given this weapon's brand, doing so often may cause problems.

History

Prior 0.14, Leech's vampiric effect was activated on 3/5 of all attacks, like for the others vampiric brand weapons.
