Missile Article-I.D.: sdcattb.2558 Posted: Sun Sep 19 14:49:37 1982 Received: Wed Sep 22 04:16:10 1982 References: sdchema.151 A wand of magic missile is NOT the same as a wand of submachin gun. For one thing, the wand of SMG will not be available 'til vers. 5.3. For another, the magic missile stick does far less damage, only 1d4 a shot, which is comparable to the damage done by a slung rock. For the pure, clean joy of spattering monsters you are better off with a stick of hot or cold, 6d6. It's like wielding two 2-handed swords at once, and almost as dangerous.
