Deathbane

From Ashenzari's Archive
(Redirected from Disruption)
Version 0.32: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
It deals significantly more damage against the undead.

Deathbane is a brand exclusive to Undeadhunter which does the following:

  • Has a 2/3 chance to deal an average of about +150% damage (0 - 300%) to undead targets, or an average of +100% damage per swing.
Unlike other brands, the damage isn't distributed linearly. Instead, the extra damage equals 3d(3 * dam + 1)/3 - 1, so it's weighted towards the average.[1]

Unlike the similar holy wrath brand, this brand can be used by the undead.

History

  • Prior to 0.30, this brand was called Disruption.
  • In 0.9, Disruption was made an exclusive brand to the Undeadhunter.
  • Prior to 0.4, Disruption was a normal brand found on random melee weapons. Holy wrath was enhanced in its stead.

    It roughly follows the normal distribution with slightly more variance. Due to integer truncation in C++, the mean is slightly lower than the expected average of 150%.
