ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hello!

My man often runs out of stamina.
So I bought an expensive dagger to change this.

Alas, when I whack my enemies I see no leech at all.
At least no message when I hit. Just I do this and that kind of damage.
No sign of stamina leech.
When I look at the stamina bar... well maybe a point per hit. Not sure.

So is it just 1 point a hit?
Or is it some kind of bug?
Or does the dagger just leech once in a while?
The text says 'leeches stamina on hit'

I could be that it only works against creatures with a stamina bar?

Your best bet is looking for items with +Stamina regen, or for armor which grants you the Second Wind talent.

Or to invest in talents which give you Stamina regeneration. What class are you playing?

Yep, it checks if the target has Stamina before leeching.

That's pretty goofy. All creatures should have stamina by default. It just doesn't need to show the bar for characters that can't actively use stamina. I would make the same case for mana, if there are any items/abilities that leech mana.

There were melee weapons that gave stamina on hit in older versions but they were too centralizing and almost every stamina class preferred them over other egos.
