So if you push a 4 for damage its 6hp to monster hit and 2hp to any other monsters present?

<br />uh, how about those stirges?  if i understand correctly, one person hitting a stirge with the pilum will hit them all.<br />

<br /><br />Yes, and it would probably have killed them all.  However, since the player had to slide to hit the stirge, it was possible to miss the monster and hit the player it was attached to. Since we're talking about a weapon that can tell one side from the other, and if one monster gets hit, they all take damage, it stands to reason that if the player got hit instead of the monster, all of the other players would take the 2 points of shock splash.

<br /><br />Though the wording says, "Adds 2 pts shock damage to all foes," so technically, if the wording is followed, if you throw at a stirge and hit your own teammate, it would do the pilum damage (only) to him, and then do the +2 points of shock damage to all foes in the room (and not to your teammate).... so it would still zap all the stirges.<br />

Well, if that's the case, I'd have no problem throwing this at a teammate to zap all the monsters, too.  So, who wants to be in my party?  :rolleyes:
