That Eth grants ITD is a well-known fact. However, I'm wondering about some slightly more obsecure bits of info.
Firstly, the Eth rune grants reduce-ac in weapons. -25 reduce-ac to be exact.
Now, what I'm first wondering is, does Eth cause auto-hit? That is, if you were extremely low level and attacking a very high level target, while using Eth, will you still hit 95% of the time?
Secondly, I've heard that Eth reduces target's def to a negative number. Does anyone know if this is true? I seem to recall that with a 1.08 Arreat's Face, it had reduce-ac with a value of 10, and it reduced the target's AC to 10% of what it would be normally. If true, and the reduce-ac on Eth works the same way now it would imply that if a target has 100 def normally, it would have -25 def with Eth.
If so, is the negative number used for the purposes of the to-hit calculation?
I searched, but was unable to find any information.
