The holder of this item gains:

Dolor Amarus: When you land a Critical Hit with a weapon or unarmed attack,^{[See: Bugs]} it deals an additional 7 damage.

If you have proficiency, equip in main hand to gain:

 Hamstring Shot (): Shoot an enemy in the thigh and possibly reduce their Movement Speed by 50%. ( Recharge: Short rest.)

The player character can only purchase the Vicious Shortbow from the Echo of Abazigal if they accept becoming an Unholy Assassin of ⁠Bhaal (however, it can also be acquired through an exploit – see notes on the Echo of Abazigal's page for details).

Regarding Dolor Amarus (passive feature):

Dolor Amarus applies to all weapon attacks while a weapon with the feature is equipped, and it can be activated multiple times if multiple weapons with the passive are equipped. For example, if both  Dolor Amarus daggers are equipped – or one dagger and the  Vicious Battleaxe on a character with  Dual Wielder – together with the  Vicious Shortbow, when the wielder lands a critical hit, then +21 damage will be added, instead of +7.
Dolor Amarus also stacks on multiple damage riders, which could potentially lead to massive bonuses from different damage sources.
The name dolor amarus is Latin for "harsh suffering" or "bitter sorrow".

Regarding Dolor Amarus (passive feature):

Despite the description, Dolor Amarus does not deal an additional 7 damage on unarmed attack critical hits (including  Throw attacks).
