Sword of Life Stealing

The Sword of Life Stealing is a very rare +2 shortsword which deals an extra 10 Necrotic damage on a critical hit, and heals the wielder for the same amount.

Folded into the steel of this menacing weapon is an alloy of enchanted metal. It waits like a leech in thick swamp water, awaiting a victim to taste, awaiting a chance to restore your heartiness and inflict suffering on your foes.

Notes

• The Life Stealing Critical passive is coded to only function when Sword of Life Stealing scores a critical hit, even though the description appears to indicate it functions on any critical hit.

Bugs

• The temporary hit points provided by Life Stealing Critical only have a StackPriority of 1, and as such are overridden by any other source of temporary hit points that have a StackPriority of 1 or higher, even if the new source is of a lesser value.
