Cruel Sting is a rare, lightly enchanted (+1) special variant of the Longswords family of weapons. It is a martial melee weapon that can be wielded in one hand, or with both hands for extra damage.

Description Icon.png

The trauma of becoming a drider is quickly set aside with a cold arachnid dispassion. This sword follows that disturbing trend - a replenishing poison gland is built within, deployed only against trapped opponents.

Notes

  • Currently, the sword loses its 1d6 Damage TypesPsychic damage bonus after a Long Rest. It might be a bug of Kar'niss Spindleweb Fanaticism bonus Psychic damage aura remaining on the weapon even after his death.

Shapeshifting or disguising as a drow is sufficient to trigger Sting the Helpless
