Bugs

  • When this sword is first looted from Kar'niss it is listed as dealing an additional 1d6 Damage TypesPsychic damage, however this is due to a bug that causes the weapon to retain the Spindleweb Fanaticism (Granting 1d6 Damage TypesPsychic damage to him and his allies) effect from Kar'niss. This extra damage is removed if the player completes a Long Rest or applies Elemental Weapon to the weapon.
