Crimson Mischief

From bg3.wiki
Crimson Mischief image

Crimson Mischief is a legendary +2 Shortsword that, when wielded in the main hand, grants additional damage when attacking with Advantage and against targets with 50% or less of their hit points. When wielded in the off-hand, it instead allows the wielder to add their Ability Modifier to their damage.

When she was a girl, she toyed with nastiness and sadism. Children often grow out of this; they get hobbies. For Orin, that taste for cruelty fermented, and in a way she did find hobbies. Ones that screamed.
