Darkspine Dagger (3.5e Equipment)
Darkspine Dagger: This +3 Bone Dagger is specially crafted to improve upon the innate damage potential of a rogue/assassin/ninja by way of improving Sneak attack damage from D6 to D8. The serrated edge, and sinister design allows for brutal internal damage on a successful Sneak attack, but at the cost of base damage. No matter the size category of the crafted Dagger, the base damage is held firm at a 1d3, 19-20 x2 critical. These weapons are essentially useless outside the hands of those trained in eliminating DEX bonuses and striking Flanked foes.
The improvement to sneak attack damage does NOT allow for SA damage on targets without vitals, immune to DEX denial, or incapable of being sneak attacked by means of supernatural or extraordinary abilities or means.
This Dagger is a crafted replica seemingly recreated over time throughout various eras, domains, and planes, in an attempt to capture the nature of the original. Which was far more of a brutal tool for assassinations and was lost to the ravages of history itself. Lacking the plethora of Magical enhancements of the original, these Bone daggers are found in various states of decay and disuse throughout the lands. Often seen as seemingly broken or useless tools for their very faint aura and shabby appearance. Someone with the Sneak Attack or Similar Class feature can make a (DC 10 + (Years of decay ÷ 10) Appraise Check) To properly identify a Darkspine Dagger for its capabilities.
