Notes

Regarding Twist of Fortune (passive feature):

• The Twist of Fortune passive appears to affect all melee damage rolls while equipped, not just damage with  Twist of Fortune itself.
• This passive stacks with itself (via a second copy of the weapon using the  Invoke Duplicity exploit) or by dual wielding with the  Knife of the Undermountain King. The damage improvement of the second reroll is smaller than the first one.

Regarding Blood Money:

• As of Patch 5, this ability consumes gold the target carries in increments of 300 as it is converted to proficiency bonus⁠⁠Piercing damage, so a target with 99,999 gold hit by a level 9 character will have around 99 gold left in their inventory after being dealt approximately [99,900/4]=1330 damage from a hit (before any applicable reductions).
• Many bosses and tough enemies in the game can be assassinated with this action by "reverse-pickpocketing" large sums of gold into their inventory.
