An ode to cat's claw

[gut]

22:23 <gutt> are you saccing them now?
22:26 <Porkman> @i cat
22:26 <gutt> ok, throw the 7lb on the altar and kick them off
22:26 <gutt> wha?
22:26 <Porkman> huh?
22:26 <gutt> hahahha
22:26 <Porkman> @cat's claw
22:26 <gutt> we thought we were so smart
22:26 <Porkman> @i cat's claw
22:27 <Porkman> this thing sucks, hum
22:27 <gutt> thin dagger "Cat's Claw" (() (Me:+4,3d3+0) (Ms:+0,3d3+0) {Dx+8} (10s) [one-hand, daggers &
22:27 <Porkman> like
22:27 <Porkman> 3d3
22:27 <Porkman> are you for real, TB
22:28 <gutt> it is a slaying weapon though
22:28 <gutt> you will be glad for that when you are attacked by a rat
22:28 <gutt> and besides, it is quite a good weapon for an archer
22:29 <Porkman> slaying?
22:29 <gutt> it slays ALL rat kind
22:29 <Porkman> slays rats?
22:29 <Porkman> ...and since when are rats a problem
22:29 <gutt> yes! it is glorious, no?
22:29 <gutt> well, there is that
22:30 <gutt> wonder if it slays ratlings
22:31 <Porkman> i mean
22:31 <Porkman> i dont know
22:31 <Porkman> something like, robes of resistance
22:31 <Porkman> executor
22:31 <Porkman> say, even wyrmlance
22:31 <gutt> none of those slay rats
22:31 <Porkman> ok, lets test executor vs cats claw on rats
22:31 <gutt> I hope a rat makes you bleed to death now
22:31 <gutt> :D
22:32 <Porkman> hah
22:33 <Porkman> 59 blnk dogs
22:33 <Porkman> 0 corpses
22:33 <Porkman> @m blink dog
22:41 <Porkman> no
22:41 <Porkman> gutt, cats claw doesnt work on ratlings
23:03 <gutt> it probably doesn't work on large rats either, only normal ones
23:03 <gutt> and not in the dark
23:03 <gutt> or in non-bleeding rooms
23:03 <gutt> or on odd numbered days
23:04 <gutt> or for races who average > 4' height
23:05 <gutt> and on the rare occasion when it does work, there is an undocumented 1d3000 chance of instadeath for the PC
23:05 <gutt> this is trippled if the PC is not crowned

x-D Can't wait to get my hands on that one!

[Stingray1]

That artifact is one of the best ratling fodder in the game, I must admit. I suppose if you wear the Air Orb and ring too, then you'll have some godly Dx and never have anything get near you.

[grobblewobble]

I hope that one of the new artifacts will be named Rat's Claw and slays cats.

[Blasphemous]

Rat's Tail, a rune covered whip. 2d6+3, {Dx+4}, Speed +10, slays cats, including lords.

[Al-Khwarizmi]

Cool idea actually.

[zasvid]

Cool idea actually.

Well, I think that it would be cool if its baseline was better than a whip of the snake.

[gut]

no! it must match cat's claw in power. if anything, make it 1d6+3 :D

[zasvid]

I shouldn't have said anything in this thread. Cat's Claw just dropped randomly from a vault mob.

[Deathwind]

I am so sorry...

[GordonOverkill]

Rat's Tail, a rune covered whip. 2d6+3, {Dx+4}, Speed +10, slays cats, including lords.

That's a nice idea indeed!

You can also consider this:

Gargantuan Rat's Penis, a hide-covered heavy cudgel, 3d4+5, {St+3}, -stun, +crit, slays cats, becomes harder with more cats slain (extra +5 damage increases to +6 and continues up to +10), can be used as a pickaxe.

Can it give a modified killing message like Executor and Vanquisher? Like this - "You hit the invisible cat lord with full force and "slay" him ... if you know what I mean."

[gut]

it will give special messages on critical penetrating hits
