Dagger of Shar

Dagger of Shar is an uncommon variant of the Daggers family of weapons. It is a simple 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.

This dagger's handle is smooth and light, its jagged blade sharpened into a thin, cruel edge.

Notes

Regarding Edge of Darkness:

• This action is actually an AoE attack. After striking the main target, an additional attack is made against every creature and object within the 3 m / 10 ft radius around that target, including allies.
• On-hit reactions such as  Divine Smite can be applied to each creature hit by this action (at the cost of multiple spell slots, in the case of Divine Smite).

Bugs

Regarding Edge of Darkness:

• The in-game tooltip for this action is inaccurate and missing key information about it being an AoE attack.
• The tooltip claims there is an associated  Constitution Saving Throw, but this is not true.
