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

Re: Heart Finder sword
 

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... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

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