Shadow Blade (weapon)

For the spell, see  Shadow Blade. For the passive feature, see Shadow Blade (passive feature).

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.
