Unrand: The Scourge of Mennas

[MainiacJoe]

+3 whip of holy wrath, +Silence (when wielded, a small zone of silence surrounds the wielder, 9 or 25 tiles)

I chose a weak base weapon and a small radius so that it wouldn't be overpowered, since you can easily unwield it if you need to. I think it would be best for skilled throwers, who can wield for the silence and throw for damage.

[Blobbo]

I came here expecting the "Scourge of Mennas" to be a Mennas-killer (unholy wrath, anti-silence/vocalise), and was disappointed.

[File200]

  Code:

+3 Demon Whip of Slaying only Mennas (unholy, vocalise, slay Mennas, curse)
Weapons of Slay Mennas deal bonus damage to Mennas and reduced damage to all other monsters.

I would probably use it.

[jejorda2]

It would work well with evocations, too. It would make a decent walking-away-from-annihilators tool, if nothing else.

[Jeremiah]

Just give me a melee weapon that bypasses shields.

[dynast]

But the only time they both appear in the game is when mennas is wielding it.

[Sar]

Tukima Time

[tasonir]

FR: Tukima's dance also animates shields, but only for Mennas. While animated, the shield's attacks use the message "The large shield bashes Mennas over his stupid head!" and the shield occasionally gets speech lines which say "Why are you so stupid? Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself, stupidhead!"

[xentronium]

Mennas the obtuse angel.

Just give me a melee weapon that bypasses shields.

I think flails do that in Hall of the Goblin King. Could be a special trait for flails and whips, like cleaving is for axes.

The Mennas-slaying whip would be related to another unrand

  Code:

the +3 bread of Slaying only Mara {holy, -cast, slay Mara, !e}


I like the image of beating him to death with a french loaf specifically designed to beat him to death with, while your own player clone watches helplessly. And then after the combat, you eat the bread.

[File200]

Treat bread as a +0 club when wielded by a player, but don't include that in the patch notes. See how long it takes for players to notice.

[duvessa]

bread is already about as good as +0 club for the player clone, the people who say to wield bread against mara are just completely clueless about how to fight mara and how the clone works

Sounds like a must add for DCSS version of Munchkin.

If bread combat is a newb trap, it should be buffed or removed. I'm in favor of increasing bread's base damage.

[duvessa]

it was already removed many, many versions ago, but some people still try it!

What

This is just like when they removed Mountain Dwarves. I'm now retroactively outraged at the removal of a feature I never used.
