Githyanki Shortsword

Githyanki Shortsword is a common 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.

Despite its engravings, this lightweight sword is perfectly balanced - a flawless killing implement.
