Notes

  • Unlike most Shortswords, Shadow Blade is classed as a Simple weapon and not a Martial weapon.
  • While this weapon can be dipped in most cases, it cannot be Dipped in Fire.
  • The Shadow Blade passive granted by this weapon does not grant advantage against obscured targets, instead seeming to do nothing.
  • The shadow weapon requires Concentration and disappears if you lose Concentration. You may recast it, using the ring, every Short Rest.
