Notes and Trivia

• As of Early Access Patch 9:
  • While the item description says 'chance,' the chance to inflict  Bane on hit is 100%.
  • The duration of the  Bane effect is 2 turns, and does not stack.
  • The second effect of the wielder taking 1d6 piercing damage triggers until the wielder is below 35% Hit Points, not 25% as per the description. (As of Version 4.1.1.3956130 - November 2023.)
  • The  Savage Attacker feat will result in the secondary damage being re-rolled higher.
  • Armour which reduces incoming piercing damage reduces the self-inflicted damage.
