Knife of the Undermountain King

The Knife of the Undermountain King is a very rare +2 shortsword that increases the frequency of scoring Critical Hits and grants Advantage against enemies in the shadows.

Snatched from the realm of the mad wizard Halaster Blackoak, this knife became a prized keepsake of a duergar king.

Notes

• The effect Organ Rearranger stacks with other passive effects that improve critical chance, including ranged attacks and spell attack rolls [1][2].
• The damage reroll is not applied to thrown attacks, including throwing the weapon itself.
• The Shadow Blade passive granted by this weapon does not grant advantage against obscured targets, instead seeming to do nothing.^{[Hotfix 17]}
