Later that same game...

the Long Bow of Rhuorim (x5) (+19, +31)
Slays evil creatures


That is crazy! 235 damage per shot with ordinary arrows. 435 with seeker arrows of wounding.

I dont know what the chances for "slay evil" on a bow are. I have seen the occasional branding bow, maybe 2 or 3 in dozens of games. This is the first time I have encontered a slay evil bow. Thankfully it also has good values for multiplier and damage, so a post on the braggart thread was in order.

[Grotug]

I would have posted damage infos for various arrows in my quiver as part of my braggart post had I found said launcher. As such, my Hobbit ranger throws pebbles in your direction in jealousy. And the launcher has +4 stealth, +3 Wisdom, two important sustains, and confusion protection. To have so much useful utility and ridiculous damage; I mean that is seriously bonkers. Well, I guess it makes up for the ring of Leren you found earlier (though as I scroll further down the thread I see you also got the 14d8 uber mace, which should honestly have a power rating of 1000). At least my ho-hum heavy crossbow I recently acquired on DL34 has +8 speed and slays dragons. What's the power rating of your launcher?

[Estie]

The reason I didnt post damage numbers is that the bow was originally found by a rogue. However, I proceeded to play a ranger with the same randart set and here is the dump:

http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=24840

The highest damage vs evil I had was shy of 1200, you can see the damage of my last quiver in the dump, basically everything does 1k vs evil.

Edit: power is 289

a) the Lance 'Ularu' (7d8) (+9,+27) <+4>
Found lying on the floor at 1650 feet (level 33)

+4 intelligence.
Slays dragons (powerfully).
Provides resistance to Light.
Cannot be harmed by Acid, Fire.
Sustains your life force. Blessed by the gods (combat bonuses for
holy casters).

And yes, I am a paladin. Love it when the game gets cliche.
