Azuredge is an enchanted throwing axe +3 which returns to the hand of the wielder, and it can be used in melee combat as well. The weapon deals 1d6 points of damage and it has no bonus to THAC0, but the weapon deals 1d6 +4 points of damage to the undead, who must make saving throw with a -4 penalty or be destroyed instantly. This enchantment is similar to the enchantment the Mace of Disruption has, though it cannot be upgraded to protect against Level drain.

Description[]

Azuredge Axe +3:

Gulen Rockfire, Slayer of Undead, crafted this powerful throwing axe expressly for reinforcing his claim to his namesake. Blessed by a cross-section of gods, this weapon does phenomenal damage against creatures unwisely rebelling against their deceased status and can potentially destroy them in a single blow. Obviously Gulen no longer carries Azuredge, and it is rumored that he died fighting a powerful vampire years ago, only to rise as one himself. This may have softened his stance regarding the undead, at the very least prompting a change of name.

Gameplay[]

As of EE 2.5, Azuredge can no longer strike a Demilich, which was a bugfix to correct an unintended behavior. Attempts to strike a creature needing +4 enchantment to hit should display "Weapon Ineffective" in the combat screen.

Note: Against creatures coded as Type: Undead, a successful hit will apply Opcode/effect 13 Kill target. Liches in the game are immune to the instant death effect Slay, but not Kill Target. The exception to this is the first iteration of Kangaxx, because of the MINHP1.ITM it has equipped.

Location[]

Sold exclusively by Bernard in his improved store. [1]

Note[]

A Neutral Good aligned player character may use this weapon, as long as it meets the class restrictions. The InfoBox default verbiage is unclear in this instance.
