Item Data

Pygmalion Item List

Section 1: Melee and Thrown Weapons

The following categories are applicable to weapons:
Name: The name of the weapon (if fully identified).
Avg Dmg: Average base damage inflicted by the weapon (before adjustments for Strength and armour).
Dmg Var: Standard deviation of the amount of base damage inflicted by a weapon. (Base damage will never be adjusted to less than zero by variation.)
Dmg Type: Form of damage inflicted by the weapon.
Weight: Weight of the weapon in grams.
Value: Value of the weapon in riyals.

Base weapon damage (after variation has been applied) is adjusted for Strength as follows:

Weapon Damage = (Base Damage + ((Base Damage * (Str - 10)) / 40))

In other words, a weapon wielded by a character with 10 Strength will inflict its base damage, and one wielded by a character with 50 Strength will inflict double its base damage. Note that where a weapon inflicts unusual damage types (such as extra fire damage), only the Piercing, Slashing, Bashing and Chopping damage types are adjusted for the wielder's Strength.

Note that the maximum total weight (in grams) of weapons that a character can wield is equal to 100*strength (if wielding one or two weapons in one hand each), or 200*strength (if wielding a single weapon in two hands). Wielding a weapon with a two-handed grip confers no advantages other than being able to use a weapon that the character's Strength would otherwise prevent her from wielding. Non-weapon objects such as shields or lanterns do not count toward the limit (although obviously they cannot be held if wielding a weapon two-handed).

If a character is holding a non-weapon object and would be able to use the object as a weapon within the current weight restriction imposed by her Strength and any other wielded weapon, she will be able to use the item for a bludgeoning attack as described in Section 1.6, although this attack will generally not be particularly effective.

Section 1.1: Small Blades

Note: knives, daggers and sai (but not scimitars and short swords) can be thrown using the Throwing Knives skill. If thrown, they will have a medium range and do the same amount of damage as if they were used in melee (including Strength modifiers). They may be thrown at a rate of two per round.

Name	Avg Dmg	Dmg Var	Dmg Type	Weight	Value
Knife	7	2	Pierce	800	20
Dagger	9	2	Pierce	1000	50
Sai	10	2	Pierce	1200	90
Scimitar	11	3	Slash	1500	100

Rapier	10	2	Pierce	1700	100
Sabre	14	3	Slash	2400	200
Estoc	17	4	Pierce	3000	300

Section 1.3: Heavy Swords (1H and 2H)

Note: these may be classified as one-handed or two-handed swords depending on how they are being wielded. Some, however, are too heavy to wield in one hand regardless of Strength.

Name	Avg Dmg	Dmg Var	Dmg Type	Weight	Value
Broadsword	15	3	Slash	3000	200
Longsword	18	4	Slash	3500	320
Bastard Sword	22	5	Slash	5000	500
Greatsword	25	6	Slash	6000	700
Claymore	28	7	Slash	7000	900
Zweihander	32	8	Slash	9000	1200

Section 1.4: 1H Spears

Note: all of these weapons may also be thrown using the Javelins skill. If thrown, they will have a short range and do the same amount of damage as if they were used in melee (including Strength modifiers). They may be thrown at a rate of one per round.

Name	Avg Dmg	Dmg Var	Dmg Type	Weight	Value
Javelin	11	3	Pierce	2000	100
Harpoon	13	3	Pierce	2500	150
Spear	15	4	Pierce	3000	200

Section 1.5: Axes (1H and 2H)

Note: these may be classified as one-handed or two-handed axes depending on how they are being wielded. Some, however, are too heavy to wield in one hand regardless of Strength (at least for normal humans).

Note 2: the Throwing Axe may be effectively thrown using the Irregular Throwing skill.

Name	Avg Dmg	Dmg Var	Dmg Type	Weight	Value
Hatchet	9	2	Chop	1900	40
Hand Axe	11	2	Chop	2300	100
Throwing Axe	13	3	Chop	2700	150
War Axe	15	3	Chop	3300	200
Battle Axe	19	3	Chop	5000	400
Great Axe	23	4	Chop	7000	600
Grand Axe	27	5	Chop	8000	900

Section 1.6: Clubs and Mauls

Note: non-weapon objects wielded as weapons are treated as clubs if wielded in one hand, or mauls if wielded in 2 hands. They inflict Bashing damage equal to their weight in grams divided by 400, rounded up. Damage variability is equal to weight in grams divided by 1500, rounded up. Therefore, a 5000-gram object, the heaviest that can be wielded in one hand by a human-sized creature, would inflict 13 base damage with a variability of 4. A 10000-gram object, the heaviest that can be wielded in two hands, would inflict 25 base damage with a variability of 7.

Note 2: these may be classified as one-handed clubs ("Clubs") or two-handed clubs ("Mauls") depending on how they are being wielded. Some, however, are too heavy to wield in one hand regardless of Strength (at least for normal humans).

Note 3: the Throwing Hammer may be effectively thrown using the Irregular Throwing skill.

Name	Avg Dmg	Dmg Var	Dmg Type	Weight	Value
Club	10	2	Bash	2000	20
Throwing Hammer	12	3	Bash	2400	60
Mace	14	3	Bash	2500	70
Hammer	16	4	Bash	3000	90
Cudgel	18	4	Bash	5000	150
Maul	21	5	Bash	6000	200
Warhammer	25	6	Bash	7000	350

Section 1.7: Flails

Name	Avg Dmg	Dmg Var	Dmg Type	Weight	Value
Whip	9	2	Bash	1500	50
Nunchaku	15	3	Bash	3000	200
Flail	20	4	Bash	4000	300

Section 1.8: Staves

Note: these must always be wielded in two hands, regardless of Strength. Swinging a staff around in one hand like a club just doesn't work very well.

Name	Avg Dmg	Dmg Var	Dmg Type	Weight	Value
Walking Stick	12	2	Bash	2000	20
Quarterstaff	16	3	Bash	3000	50
Metal-Shod Staff	20	4	Bash	4000	100

Section 1.9: Thrusting Polearms

Note: all thrusting polearms have a range of 3 tiles.

Name	Avg Dmg	Dmg Var	Dmg Type	Weight	Value
Pike	20	4	Pierce	6000	250
Trident	23	5	Pierce	7000	400
Lance	28	6	Pierce	8000	750

Section 1.10: Cutting Polearms

Note: all cutting polearms have a range of 2 tiles.

Name	Avg Dmg	Dmg Var	Dmg Type	Weight	Value
Military Pick	21	4	Chop	7000	350
Halberd	25	5	Chop	8000	600
Scythe	30	6	Slash	9000	800

Section 1.11: Dart-Like Missiles

Note: any of the below weapons may be thrown using the Throwing Knives skill. If thrown, they will have a medium range and do damage in the same way as if they were a melee attack (including Strength modifiers). They may be thrown at a rate of two per round (with the exception of the Rope Dart, which may be thrown only once per round, but will be returned to the wielder in the same round as it is thrown). In addition, darts may be fired from a blowgun, arrows may be fired from a bow, and bolts may be fired from a crossbow.

Name	Avg Dmg	Dmg Var	Dmg Type	Weight	Value
Dart	5	1	Pierce	100	10
Arrow	6	2	Pierce	200	15
Bolt	8	2	Pierce	300	25
Rope Dart	8	2	Pierce	1000	70

Section 1.12: Irregular Missiles

Note: any of the below weapons may be thrown using the Irregular Throwing skill. If thrown, they will have a short range and do damage in the same way as if they were a melee attack (including Strength modifiers). They may be thrown at a rate of one per round. In addition, rocks and lead shots may be launched from a sling.

Note 2: any melee weapon not otherwise specified as a missile may also be thrown using the Irregular Throwing skill (provided the thrower has sufficient strength to wield it). If thrown, they will have a very short range and do the same amount of damage as if they were used in melee (including Strength modifiers). They will also have a penalty to accuracy and are likely to be severely damaged by this maltreatment, so throwing Zweihanders is a pretty expensive way to kill someone. They may be thrown at a rate of one per two rounds. (Throwing axes and throwing hammers may be thrown at a rate of one per round, have somewhat longer range and better accuracy, and will be less damaged by throwing.)

Note 3: On a successful hit with a Bolas, the target must make two Dexterity checks. If the target passes both checks, it is unaffected. If it passes one check, it stumbles and is immobilised for 1 round. If it fails both checks, it trips and falls and is immobilised for 3 rounds. The base chance of success for the Dexterity check is a percentage equal to the target's Dexterity, modified if it has more than two legs (a +10% chance of success on each check for every leg after the second). Creatures with no legs at all are immune, as are flying, levitating, amorphous, or incorporeal creatures.

Note 4: On a successful hit with a Net, the target is immobilised until it passes either a Strength check (to break out of the net, destroying it) or a Dexterity check (to throw off the net, leaving it intact). The chance of success for each check is a percentage equal to half the respective stat, and one of each type of check is made each round. If the target is attacked with a slashing or chopping attack while netted, the net will be broken immediately. Amorphous or incorporeal creatures are immune to being netted.

Name	Avg Dmg	Dmg Var	Dmg Types	Weight	Value
Rock	weight/100 (rounded up)	1	Bash	101-500	0
Lead Shot	7	2	Bash	500	10
Bolas	0	0	Special	1000	40
Net	0	0	Special	2000	50

Weapon Modifiers

Not every weapon is an average example of its type; some are crafted with more skill than others, some have accumulated wear and tear over time, and some are enchanted to be exceptionally deadly. A few weapons may bear curses, sometimes as a form of protection to render them useless or worse in the hands of anyone other than their intended wielder, other times through either incompetence or malevolence on the part of their enchanter.

In general, there are two kinds of modifiers which can be applied to weapons. Quality modifiers are prefixed to the name of the weapon (e.g. "Fine Dagger") and are generally not mutually exclusive. Enchantment modifiers are appended to the name of the weapon (e.g. "War Axe of Slaying"), and are mutually exclusive (a weapon may not have more than one enchantment). Obviously, a weapon with an enchantment modifier is considered a magical item.

Note that percentage modifiers to damage and value are cumulative: a Fine Club of Corrosion would inflict 12 bashing damage plus 6 acid damage and have a value of 1530.

Note also that missile ammunition (darts, arrows, bolts, and lead shots) may be enchanted in batches of 10 for the same monetary or material cost as enchanting a single non-missile weapon.

Section 2: Missile Weapons

The following categories are applicable to missile weapons:
Name: The name of the weapon (if fully identified).
Multiplier: The number by which the base damage of the weapon's missiles is multiplied.
Range: The effective range of missiles fired by the weapon (short, medium or long).
Rate of Fire: Number of times the weapon can be fired per round. Higher is better.
Weight: Weight of the weapon in grams.
Value: Value of the weapon in riyals.

Unlike melee weapons and thrown weapons, damage from missile weapon attacks is not adjusted for the wielder's Strength. Also, missile weapons, with the exceptions of the Sling and Blowgun, are always considered two-handed; if a character's most recent action was an attack with a two-handed missile weapon, she will receive no bonuses from an equipped shield. (Although one-handed, even the sling and blowgun may not be dual-wielded with another one-handed missile weapon. Aiming two missile weapons at once is a hopeless task.)

Section 2.1: Slings

Name	Multiplier	Range	Rate of Fire	Weight	Value
Slingshot	2	Short	2	300	30
Sling	3	Long	1	500	60
Staff Sling	5	Short	0.5	3000	100

Section 2.4: Blowguns

Name	Multiplier	Range	Rate of Fire	Weight	Value
Blowgun	3	Medium	2	500	50

Missile Weapon Modifiers

All general weapon modifiers are also applicable to missile weapons; a general weapon modifier applied to a missile weapon will be applied to all ammunition fired by that weapon, but will not stack with the effect of the same modifier applied to ammunition. For example, a Sling of Frost firing Lead Shots of Acid will do 25% extra cold damage and 25% extra acid damage, but a Sling of Frost firing Lead Shots of Frost will only do 25% extra cold damage.

In addition, the following modifiers may be applied to specific missile weapon types:

Modifiers to Slings

Weapon of Distance: missiles fired from this weapon will have a greater range than normal. The weapon's base value is increased by 50%+500.

Weapon of Lobbing: missiles fired from this weapon have an uncanny tendency to fly straight through small gaps in barriers, and therefore ignore accuracy penalties for any terrain with less than 100% obstruction. The weapon's base value is increased by 80%+800.

Modifiers to Bows

Weapon of Distance: missiles fired from this weapon will have a greater range than normal. The weapon's base value is increased by 50%+500.

Weapon of Penetration: whenever a missile fired from this weapon hits its target for at least 1 point of damage, it has a 50% chance to travel through in a straight line until it reaches another valid target. If it successfully hits that target, there is a further 50% chance that it will travel through to the next target, and so on until the limit of the weapon's range is reached. The weapon's base value is increased by 100%+1000.

Modifiers to Crossbows

Weapon of Penetration: whenever a missile fired from this weapon hits its target for at least 1 point of damage, it has a 50% chance to travel through in a straight line to the next target. If it successfully hits that target, there is a further 50% chance that it will travel through to the next target, and so on until the limit of the weapon's range is reached. The weapon's base value is increased by 100%+1000.

Weapon of Puncturing: when fighting armoured opponents, missiles fired from this weapon behave as if the target's armour threshold were only half its actual value (rounded down). The weapon's base value is increased by 120%+1200.

Modifiers to Blowguns

Weapon of Puncturing: when fighting armoured opponents, missiles fired from this weapon behave as if the target's armour threshold were only half its actual value (rounded down). The weapon's base value is increased by 120%+1200.

Weapon of the Winds: missiles fired from this weapon can be guided through a curved path of any shape, turning corners or veering around obstacles to reach a target. The weapon's base value is increased by 150%+1500.

Section 3: Armour

The following categories are applicable to items of armour:
Name: The name of the piece of armour (if fully identified).
PierceT: The armour's damage threshold for piercing attacks.
Pierce%: The armour's damage resistance for piercing attacks.
SlashT: The armour's damage threshold for slashing attacks.
Slash%: The armour's damage resistance for slashing attacks.
BashT: The armour's damage threshold for bashing attacks.
Bash%: The armour's damage resistance for bashing attacks.
ChopT: The armour's damage threshold for chopping attacks.
Chop%: The armour's damage resistance for chopping attacks.
Weight: Weight of the armour in grams.
Value: Value of the armour in riyals.

Note: wearing any piece of armour (especially body armour) made of metal carries a heavy penalty to the Sneak skill. Metal armour includes: all body armours except robes and leather armour; all helms except the leather cap; chain or plate gauntlets; and war boots. Shields do not impede sneaking.

Note 2: the maximum total weight (in grams) of all armour worn by a character (excluding shields) must not exceed 1000*Strength. The maximum weight (in grams) of a shield worn by a character must not exceed 200*Strength (or 400*Strength if a single shield is held in both hands).

Section 3.3: Gauntlets

Note: wearing any gloves other than Silk Gloves or gloves with the Dexterity enchantment will result in a penalty to skills requiring manual dexterity, such as Pick Pockets, Lockpicking, Traps and Craftsmanship. By default, they will be automatically removed while attempting an action which would be penalised by wearing them.

Armour Modifiers

General Modifiers

These modifiers may apply to any piece of armour.

Fine Armour: this armour is exceptionally well-made, and its damage threshold and resistance against all physical damage types are both increased by 10% of their current values (rounded up, minimum gain +1 and +1%). Note that damage resistance is increased by 10 per cent, not 10 percentage points; an armour with an initial resistance of 20% is raised to 22%, not 30%! Its base value is also increased by 50%. Mutually exclusive with Crude Armour.

Crude Armour: this armour is poorly-made, and its damage threshold and resistance against all physical damage types are decreased by 20% of their current values (rounded down, minimum loss -1 and -1%, cannot reduce any threshold or resistance below 0). Its base value is halved. Mutually exclusive with Fine Armour.

Worn Armour: this weapon has been reduced to less than half its base durability by wear and tear, and its performance is suffering as a result. Its damage threshold and damage resistance against all physical damage types are decreased by 10% (rounded down). Mutually exclusive with Damaged Armour.

Damaged Armour: this weapon has been damaged to near breaking point (less than 20% of base durability). Its damage threshold and damage resistance against all physical damage types are decreased by 20% (rounded down). Mutually exclusive with Worn Armour.

Modifiers to Body Armour (All)

The following modifiers are applicable to all body armours.

Armour of Cooling: +25% Fire resistance. Base value +80%+800.

Armour of Warmth: +25% Cold resistance. Base value +80%+800.

Armour of Insulation: +25% Elec resistance. Base value +80%+800.

Armour of Neutralisation: +25% Acid resistance. Base value +80%+800.

Armour of Resistance: +10% resistance to fire, cold, acid and electricity. Base value +100%+1000.

Armour of Vitality: +5 to Str, End, Dex. Base value +150%+1500.

Modifiers to Body Armour (Cloth/Leather)

The following modifiers are applicable only to clothing or armours made of cloth or leather.

Armour of Stealth: Bonus to stealth skills. Base value +50%+500.

Armour of Symbiosis: +25% resistance to poison and disease, accelerated HP regeneration. Base value +100%+1000.

Modifiers to Body Armour (Metal)

The following modifiers are applicable only to body armours made of metal.

Spiked Armour: This piece of armour is covered in sharp spikes. Any attempt to grapple the wearer carries a hefty penalty, and a failed grapple attempt inflicts 10v2 (base 10, variability 2) points of Piercing damage on the grappler. Base value +10%.

Armour of the Damned: Negates the bonus damage of weapons which harm a specific type of creature (e.g. Exorcism, Murder, Dragonslaying). If worn by an undead or demon, also provides 50% resistance to other attacks and spells that specifically affect undead or demons. If worn by any other creature, provides 25% resistance to Death attacks. In either case, the armour makes a terrible clanking and rattling noise whenever it is being worn, making stealth all but impossible. Base value +80%+800.

Armour of Hardness: Ignores techniques and magical effects which normally negate part or all of a piece of armour's damage threshold (e.g. Weapons of Sharpness). The armour provides its full normal threshold of protection against these attacks, although the protection of any other pieces of armour worn is still bypassed as normal. Base value +100%+1000.

Modifiers to Helms

Helm of Concentration: Spells requiring partial concentration cause ongoing magic strain at a reduced rate. Base value +80%+800.

Helm of Lucidity: +25% resistance against stunning and hostile mental effects such as sleep spells and illusions. Base value +100%+1000.

Helm of Clairvoyance: Allows detection of all intelligent creatures within a limited radius around the wearer. Base value +120%+1200.

Helm of Insight: +5 to Intelligence, Willpower and Alertness. Base value +150%+1500.

Helm of Leadership: +5 to Charisma, Savvy and Wit. Base value +150%+1500.

Modifiers to Cloaks

Cloak of Endurance: +5 to Endurance. Base value +50%+500.

Cloak of Stealth: Provides a bonus to stealth skills. Base value +50%+500.

Cloak of Cooling: +10% Fire resistance. Base value +50%+500.

Cloak of Warmth: +10% Cold resistance. Base value +50%+500.

Cloak of Insulation: +10% Elec resistance. Base value +50%+500.

Cloak of Neutralisation: +10% Acid resistance. Base value +50%+500.

Cloak of Resistance: +5% Fire, Cold, Elec and Acid resistance. Base value +60%+600.

Cloak of Midnight: Surrounds the wearer and all immediately adjacent spaces in a constant shroud of total darkness. The wearer will be much more difficult to detect by sight in dark areas (although the aura of darkness is immediately noticeable in brightly illuminated areas), and attacks against the wearer will be dramatically reduced in accuracy. Note that this item does not give the wearer any special ability to see in total darkness. Base value +100%+1000.

Modifiers to Boots

Boots of Stability: Protects against knockback and hostile teleportation effects. Base value +50%+500.

Boots of Levitation: Provides permanent levitation while worn, protecting against ground-based hazards. Base value +80%+800.

Boots of Kicking: Raises kicking damage by 25% and increases the chance of taking a free kick attack during melee combat. Base value +100%+1000.

Boots of Speed: Increases rate of movement (but not of attacks or other actions). Base value +120%+1200.

Modifiers to Gloves/Gauntlets

Gloves of Strength: +5 to Strength. Base value +50%+500.

Gloves of Dexterity: +5 to Dexterity. Base value +50%+500.

Gloves of Launching: Provides a bonus to accuracy and damage with bows, slings and thrown weapons. Base value +80%+800.

Gloves of Grasping: Provides a bonus to grappling and protection against being disarmed. Base value +80%+800.

Gloves of Brawling: Raises punching damage by 25%. Base value +100%+1000.

Modifiers to Belts

Belt of Capacity: Stores up to twice the normal weight of items for a belt of its type. Base value +50%+500.

Belt of Concealment: Renders all items stored in the belt undetectable by sight or any non-magical search, and retrievable only by the wearer. The items become visible if the belt is unequipped or the wearer dies, and can also be detected by any magical effect capable of detecting invisible objects. Base value +80%+800.

Belt of Reloading: If an item is held in the belt and later removed from it to be thrown, consumed, or otherwise used, the belt will replenish its stock of the item automatically by taking another identical item from the wearer's backpack (if such an item is available). An item removed from the belt and placed in the backpack will not be reloaded. Note: to take advantage of the full rate of fire of a missile weapon capable of firing more than once per round, at least two items of appropriate ammunition must be stored in the belt. Base value +100%+1000.

Modifiers to Shields

Spiked Shield: If used as an improvised club or maul, receives a bonus of +20% (rounded up) to base damage, and inflicts Piercing damage instead of Bludgeoning; still treated as a club for all other purposes. Base value +50%.

Shield of Cooling: +10% Fire resistance. Base value +50%+500.

Shield of Warmth: +10% Cold resistance. Base value +50%+500.

Shield of Insulation: +10% Elec resistance. Base value +50%+500.

Shield of Neutralisation: +10% Acid resistance. Base value +50%+500.

Shield of Resistance: +5% resistance to fire, cold, acid and electricity. Base value +60%+600.

Shield of Bashing: If used as an improvised club or maul, the shield inflicts damage (and provides shield protection) in accordance with its actual weight, but is treated as if it had only 75% of its actual weight for the purposes of Strength limitations on its use as a weapon. For example, a Kite Shield of Bashing (weight 6000 grams) would do 15v4 damage (like a normal kite shield wielded in both hands and used as a maul), but could be wielded in one hand by any character capable of wielding a weapon weighing 4500 grams. Base value +80%+800.

Shield of Deflection: Double normal damage threshold against missile weapon attacks (whether thrown or from a launcher). A successful Shields check is still necessary for the threshold to take effect. Base value +100%+1000.
