Blood-Drinker Blade (Greater)
Carved with a fanged mouth that glows at the taste of blood, this shortsword lets its wielder drain life from foes far more often than most.
This +1 striking Shortsword has the design of a fanged mouth carved into the handle. Whenever the blade draws blood, it glows with a dull red energy, as if empowered by the taste of blood.
This is a +1 striking Wounding Shortsword. You can activate to Drink Life with the blade once per hour instead of once per day. This weapon also has the Exsanguinate activation.
