Indicate to the player if a monster has an artifact.
More importantly, do so with a line that is consistent so that it can be set up to "force more" easily.
Preferably any kind of artifact, but just weapons is fine too.
"You sense that the foo wields an weapon of immense power."
"You sense that the foo carries an artifact of immense power."
It would also be nice if this was shown when x'ing over the monster as well.
A foo (frenzied and insane, confused, wielding an artifact weapon)
A foo (frenzied and insane, confused, emitting a powerful aura)
The former of these is redundant since I believe it already says this, but the distinction between glowing/runed and shimmering/distressingly furry is technically spoilery.
When there's a lot of clutter on the screen, it helps to see this. I think it would be a nice quality of life change.
Certainly people would appreciate not dying to a less dangerous unique with something crazy like snakebite or the plutonium sword just because they didn't notice it. And, of course, instead getting to use it for themselves.
