List of weapons with global passives

The following is a list of all unique weapons which affect their wielder, even when that weapon isn't being used to attack. These are often colloquially referred to as "stat sticks." Many of these benefits include increases to skills, ability scores or other character attributes. Some provide various bonuses to attack or damage rolls for all held weapons, or even to spell attacks. Any effects which require an action or bonus action to activate are not included.
