It's all in the cards!
Gretell says...
Base accuracy: +3 Base damage: 8 Base attack delay: 1.3 | This weapon's minimum attack delay (0.6) is reached at skill level 14. | Shatter: It releases a powerful concussive burst when it strikes, dealing extra damage to the target and all other creatures adjacent to them. | This shillelagh falls into the 'Maces & Flails' category. It is a one-handed weapon.
Henzell says...
  1. (maces & flails; +3 acc / 8 dam / 1.3 base delay / 0.6 min delay). It's like a +6 mace (bad!) which casts radius 1 shatter on whatever you hit (good!). Doesn't hit you or break walls. Was bugged to make noise 15 (fireball) on hit from 0.10 to 0.27, then bugged to be silent until 0.29; changed to the intended noise 7 (shout) in 0.29.
  2. Power of the 'shatter' effect (hence damage) scales with damage of the initial melee hit. For practical purposes, think of it as a more accurate, but extremely noisy Crushing Eveningstar.
