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.

Bugs

Regarding Edge of Darkness:

• The ingame tooltip for this action is inaccurate and missing key information:
  • The tooltip does not mention the fact that once you strike the main target, an additional attack is made against every creature within the 3 m / 10 ft radius around that target, including allies.
    • These additional attacks also deal Weapon Damage⁠⁠Piercing damage, including all normal weapon damage bonuses, despite some inconsistencies in the combat log.
    • 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).
  • The tooltip claims there is an associated  Constitution saving throw, but this is not true.
