Heart Finder sword

[llamabeast]

I'm pretty sure it just takes out one eye at a time actually, being as a load of my lovely sacreds just fled from a whooping by an eye-shield-bearing SC, with variously 0, 1 or 2 eyes remaining.

So if it isn't MR-based, do we reckon there's just a certain probability each time an attack is made on the shield bearer? Or perhaps there's only a danger if the bearer successfully parries with it?

If you play other games, think of "Heart Finder" as a chance for "critical hit".

As it is a "save-or-die" effect, it's more like a Vorpal Sword from D&D

[Ygorl]

My dusty memory is that the Eye Shield makes an attack of some sort when its holder is attacked, and the shield's attack pops an eye if it hits. I obviously don't remember the details though.

Too bad there's no Vorpal Sword artifact in the game. It might not actually be as deadly as a Heart Finder, considering Hydras would probably be immune and lots of other creatures are either 1: headless, 2: lifeless, 3: undead and simply consider the loss of a head a "fashion faux pas" or 4: like the Ettin, have a spare.

It'd be fun if your opponent mistakenly attacked a Hydra with a vorpal sword and only succeeded in making it stronger.

Or if they attack an Eyedra with an Eye Shield...

Question. Would an item that gives penetration bonus , such as eye of the void effect the attack from the Heart Finder Sword?
