Duellist's Prerogative image

Duellist's Prerogative is a legendary, +3 Rapier that grants the wielder a greater chance of critical hits, and an extra reaction provided their off-hand is empty. The wielder can also use a reaction to grant additional Necrotic damage on a hit.

Description Icon.png

A blade gifted to Lora by her own mother, Lenore the Fleet. When challenged to duels, Lenore's opponents assumed she had received this nickname from some naval exploit. They found out how wrong they were when her blade blurred faster than the eye could follow.

Where to find

Notes

  • Wearing an offhand weapon OR a shield disables Elegant Duellist and Dueller's Enthusiasm Dueller's Enthusiasm.
  • Lora will NOT reward the player Duelist's Prerogative if the quest "Save Vanra" is not picked up prior to freeing Vanra from the Hag's Lair. Lora must be engaged with at the Basilisk Gate Barracks in order to receive this item.
  • Despite not being stated explicitly like in other critical threshold reducing items, the critical hit reduction stacks with all other sources of increased critical hit range.
  • Despite the fact that Challenge to Duel Challenge to Duel is described as a spell and not as a weapon action, it receives bonus from Heightened Manoeuvre passive feature.
