Where to find

Notes

  • This weapon does not have a proficiency classification, and does not require proficiency in Scimitars to use.
  • Despite the tooltip not stating so, Shadow-Blinding applies only to attacks made with the Justiciar's Scimitar itself.

Bugs

  • Due to the missing proficiency classification, this weapon cannot be used to activate Bladesong when equipped in the mainhand weapon slot, although equipping it does not apply Bladesong Impeded (Condition).
    • This issue does not occur when equipped in the offhand weapon slot.
  • Shadow-Blinding is non-functional in Honour mode.
  • This weapon has a hidden version of the Shadow Blade Shadow Blade applied to it, which grants advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls while active, including weapon attack rolls for another equipped melee weapon while dual-wielding.
