| Description | Adds Clarent, the *other* sword from Arthurian legend |
| Encyclopaedia entry: "Clarent is the sword which Arthur drew forth from the stone, proving himself a rightful king. It represents authority and leadership. Clarent cleaves through stone easily, but only those dedicated to law can remove it from a stony grasp."
- Clarent has the following properties: - - Intelligent lawful short sword - - Can be used to dig - - When invoked, reveals the location of your retinue (all tame creatures) on the level, and increases the tameness of any within line of sight - - Acts as a luckstone - - Clarent submits to being held second to Excalibur (but not the other way around) - - Annoys demons - - If Clarent is stuck in a wall/door/tree/stone, then it can be pulled out by #untrap as long as you are at least devoutly lawful - - Is not generated at random. - - +d8+2 to hit and +d2 damage against thick-skinned monsters (all gargoyles, all mimics, all naga, all baby naga, all dragons, all baby dragons, the Chromatic Dragon, Ixoth, {gold, wood, clay, stone, glass, iron} golems, mumakil, titanotheres, baluchitheria, mastodons, earth elementals, xorn, skeletons, horned devils, barbed devils, sharks, crocodiles, salamanders) - Excalibur's demon-annoying properties have been transferred to Clarent. - Clarent is now the Lawful crowning gift. If you are wielding a non-artifact short sword when crowned, it will be transformed into Clarent, much as used to happen for Excalibur. Otherwise, assuming Clarent doesn't already exist in the game, it will appear. - If you are beside a wall/door/tree/stone when you receive Clarent from crowning or from a wish, it will arrive stuck into the stone; you must then be at least devoutly lawful to pull it out (by #untrap), as discussed above. | |

| Wow! 24 years of formal education, and I never learned about Clarent before today? Why, oh why, didn't I get that liberal arts education? Oh yeah, because no employer ever asked me about strange women lying in ponds distributing swords.[Quote] | ||

| Hmm... I am provisionally in favor of this. Excalibur is rather easy to obtain for some kinds of characters. Not sure I like it becoming the Lawful crowning gift though.[Quote] | ||
