A trident is a kind of weapon. It has a special +4 to-hit bonus against swimming monsters that are in water. If the monster is not in water, there is still a +2 to-hit bonus if it is one of the snakes or the sea monsters.[1]

The trident averages 7.5 damage versus large monsters, one point more than a katana, making it the most damaging one-handed non-artifact weapon versus large monsters. Along with the silver saber, crysknife and katana, the trident is one of the best choices for twoweaponing.

## Average damage calculation

We assume the player has expert skill in long sword, which gives a +2 damage bonus. This is assumed despite the fact that no class can actually have expert skill (so as to be on a level playing field with other weapon tables). A blessed weapon deals 1d4 extra damage against demons and undead. The worst case scenario is against a small, non-undead, non-demon. The best case scenario is against a large undead/demon monster.

Weapon Against regular small monsters Against regular large monsters Worst case scenario Best case scenario
Blessed trident +0 $\frac{1+6}{2}+1+2=\bold{6.5}$ $\frac{3+12}{2}+2=\bold{9.5}$ $\frac{1+6}{2}+1+2=\bold{6.5}$ $\frac{3+12}{2}+\frac{1+4}{2}+2=\bold{12}$
Blessed trident +7 $\frac{1+6}{2}+1+2+7=\bold{13.5}$ $\frac{3+12}{2}+2+7=\bold{16.5}$ $\frac{1+6}{2}+1+2+7=\bold{13.5}$ $\frac{3+12}{2}+\frac{1+4}{2}+2+7=\bold{19}$
Blessed trident +9 $\frac{1+6}{2}+1+2+9=\bold{15.5}$ $\frac{3+12}{2}+2+9=\bold{18.5}$ $\frac{1+6}{2}+1+2+9=\bold{15.5}$ $\frac{3+12}{2}+\frac{1+4}{2}+2+9=\bold{21}$

Despite the inclusion in the above table, attempting to enchant a trident to +9 is generally a very bad idea, as they're quite rare.
