Murderous Cut

Murderous Cut is an uncommon, lightly enchanted (+1) special variant of the Daggers family of weapons. It is a simple melee weapon wielded in one hand. As a finesse weapon, it can benefit from the wielder's Dexterity and not just their Strength. It's a light weapon that anyone can dual-wield without special training. Its design lends itself well to be thrown at enemies as a projectile.

Odd to think that dark gods like Bhaal were once mortal. One wonders if they ever thumbed a wagon ride, thought about the weather, or ate flavoured yoghurt.
