Thanks, glad my sanity is vouchsafed, for now!

Second, which version is this? That's quite a serious bug, if my code generated that ... I'm guessing an overflow error somewhere.

If you are refering to the -19 attacks randart, that was 3.5.1.

I was indeed, and that is a bug which may or may not still be present in 4.0 beta. Nomad's quarterstaff is fine - arguably underrated by the algorithm but there's no bug. The absence of brands and slays is of course a bug - one of many resulting from the vast slew of changes in the beta. Rest assured that we'll get to it before 4.0 is final...

*And* good damage enchantment. No brands or slays though, is there some off weapon by any chance ?

What's the average damage with that beast?

Sadly, I never found it before being nexus quylthulged into a room full of my discards from a vault on dlvl89 (I'd been too trigger happy with my TO's).

But let's see... I had +7 damage on my gloves, +8 on my armour, a RoDam +14 and the bonus from Str 18/*** is, what, +20 IIRC. So IF I'd found it ( ) the calculation would be something like:

6*((16*3)+27+7+8+14+20))=744 average damage per round, against absolutely everything. Plus, of course, critical hits. But I've no idea how to calculate that.

I'm feeling somewhat melancholy now...

My current T2 character just found...

The Mage Staff of Turing (1d4) (+5, +15) [+4]

Oddly appropriate. I think I'll keep it. :P

Edit: whoops, character died to a Blood Sprout before I could get full ID on it. D'oh!
