Shadow Blade (weapon)

Shadow Blade is an uncommon special variant of the Shortswords family of weapons. It is a martial melee weapon wielded in one hand. As a finesse weapon, it can benefit from the wielder's Dexterity and not just their Strength. It's a light weapon that anyone can dual-wield without special training.
