Punk: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 05:49, 30 July 2023

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A sling made of weird green leather, oozing corrosive slime. Originally the weapon of a notorious mischief-maker and general scamp, it's since fallen into less savoury hands.

the +3 greatsling "Punk"

+3 greatsling (modified sling: 10 base damage)

Acid brand (2d4 acid damage to monsters)
rCorr

Desirability

Punk^[1] has good damage output, despite its low enchantment. Very few monsters resist acid, and the corrosion effect significantly increases damage (-8 AC, doesn't stack).

History

Prior to 0.29, Punk's base type was a fustibalus instead of a modified sling. It had -1 accuracy.
Prior to 0.19, Punk had a freezing brand.
Prior to 0.15, Punk was a +9, +12 sling instead of a greatsling (greatslings were later renamed into fustibali).
