(The mod toolkit reveals this item to be not a longsword, but a shortsword, and the parent object of Knife_of_the_Undermountain_King. In fact, it references the same stat block, making it functionally identical to that item, rather than a less-powerful variant. It's possible this is a bug, and I have noted this on the page. For now, I have changed the page to reflect the stats as shown in the mod toolkit.)

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 25]

Bugs

This item was originally listed as being statistically identical to a basic longsword, but the mod toolkit shows it to be a shortsword, and the parent object of Knife_of_the_Undermountain_King, with identical visuals, stats, and abilities. The WPN_KingsKnife stat block can be found, and is identical to the stats for a basic longsword, but that stat block appears to be unused. It seems likely that the King's Knife was changed to match the Knife of the Undermountain King at some point during the game's development. This could be intentional, or it could be a bug.
