  • [evilhack] Gifts from sacrifices - ordinary vs. artifact weapon

    From Janis Papanagnou@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 21 05:35:27 2023
    In EvilHack I've got "a blessed fireproof +3 bone broadsword of fire"
    from a sacrifice, i.e. an ordinary weapon with the "fire property"
    that "does 1d5 + 3 of extra fire damage" (on top of base damage and enchantment). - Now what's the advantage of having an artifact weapon
    with such an intrinsic property (say Firebrand) compared to such an
    ordinary weapon with that property?

    Firebrand also imparts fire resistance when wielded. <weapon> of fire only delivers fire damage, but does not grant fire resistance.
