Shaft card

Version 0.25: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

The card depicts a traveler plummeting into a chasm that has opened beneath them. Drawing this card will create a shaft beneath the user, and possibly beneath their enemies.

The Shaft card creates a shaft beneath the player or a monster. The player has to stand on a floor tile, because the card cannot create a shaft in water and beneath shops, fountains, or other dungeon features. The card has no effect on the final level of a branch, in single-floor branches, in the Abyss, Hell, Pandemonium, or Ziggurats; drawing it will only waste a turn.

The chance to shaft a hostile monster depends on the card's power: <power> / 3. Note that the card can shaft all monsters in your line of sight, even the invisible ones.

It could be found in the following decks:

0.15	0.16	0.17	0.18	0.19 and beyond
Changes Defence Escape Wonders	Defence Escape	Defence Escape	Defence Escape	Escape
