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.
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.

Where to find
- *Looted from Kar'niss in Shadow-Cursed Lands.
Notes
- When this sword is first looted from Kar'niss it is listed as dealing an additional 1d6
Psychic damage, however this is due to a bug that causes the weapon to retain the Spindleweb Fanaticism (Granting 1d6 Psychic damage to him and his allies) effect from Kar'niss. This extra damage is removed if the player completes a Long Rest or applies Elemental Weapon to the weapon. - Shapeshifting or disguising as a drow is sufficient to trigger Sting the Helpless
