Nobody is really sure how this dart came into existence, but, it appears to be made from a cockatrices' spine. It still carries the fearsome powers of the creature it used to be.

THAC0 +1
Damage 1d4+1
Strikes as a +4 weapon
RoF 4 (One extra attack per round)
5% chance on each hit that victim is petrified. Save vs petrification at -4 or be turned to stone.
Wielder is immune to all forms of petrification magics, and is granted free action.

So tell me, what do you think? Is the dart just powerful enough and useful enough to look past the fact that it could petrify and possibly destroy loot? It would be most useful against Beholderkin, as they don't drop loot anyway, fast rate of fire, not to mention immunity to Beholder petrification rays. Would it make a decent backup weapon for a mage? Would be great for slaying trolls...

Any modders feel free... the game needs better darts.
