Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Bring back Knife of Accuracy

the +7 knife of Accuracy (stab, acc)

Vorpal dagger, allows stabbing undistracted monsters with a chance that increases with Stealth and Short Blades and decreases with monster HD.
Increases your melee/ranged/spell accuracy by 5 (or more?) like a reverse Amulet of Inaccuracy.

I'm told that melee is all about standing there bashing at a monster until you crush it like a grape!!!!! so trying to get stabs off this thing shouldn't be that much different from switching to melee weapon and hacking away (unless you have pain/elec), while accuracy changes that apply to spells is an effect that is only seen in Inaccuracy and seems appropriate for an unrandart.

Re: Bring back Knife of Accuracy

Stabbing undistracted monsters sound fun, and brand it with speed to increase the chance of stabbing.

Just make a +15 dagger with the reaching brand and call it a day.

heh


The +15 quickblade "Glass Cannon" {stab, stealth---}
Special-cased to 1 base damage
Has a 10% chance to stab non-distracted monsters on hit

Let's hope that a stab kicks in before that Juggernaut swats you!

Mod scrolls of noise so they distract enemies closest to you for 1 turn?
