The black long sword "Kinslayer" is an artifact in ADOM. In ADOM v 1.1.1 and some earlier versions, the artifact can only be generated by crowning.
Kinslayer slays humanoids, but has the quite annoying trait of being autocursing. In its unidentified state, it is a black long sword.
Desirability[]
The Kinslayer is a very good artifact to be crowned with. It slays humanoids, can be wielded with a shield, and boasts both an acceptable damage potential and DV/PV. The damage specs are (+3,4d5+3)[+4,+4]. It is perhaps the best one-handed sword in the game, at least for the three classes that can be crowned with it, despite its auto-cursing trait.
Guaranteed/Common sources[]
It is a possible crowning gift for Assassins, Necromancers, and Duelists.
As of v1.2.0 it can also be granted as a precrowning gift or a reward for making use of a potion of uselessness; generated in a surge of power or greater vault; or generated as random loot (albeit very rarely).
