Even casting aside that last one, our odds to steal the sword with a buffed bear skyrocket to '''98%.''' Even so, critical misses exist and sometimes the sword will despawn when dropped seemingly at random, so there's still no such thing as a free lunch (or sword).

Once the sword is dropped, the party will still have a fight on its hands with the remainder of the githyanki patrol, so make sure their builds haven't been too narrowly skewed towards boosting the odds. Once they emerge victorious, they can pick the sword up off the ground and throw it on [[Lae'zel]] for outrageous boosts that are typically gated behind many, many more ability checks, boss battles, and many hours of raw gameplay (and also some specific narrative paths).
