Blade of Hubris
Weapon (shortsword), uncommon (requires attunement)
Price: 50-100 gp | low sentimentality
This ornate blade has a golden, bejeweled hilt. The steel is perfectly polished and glimmers in the sun. The blade carries the inscription of a fancy “P” which is perhaps a hint to the owner’s identity. Someone must have traded this weapon for something truly spectacular from the Gray Merchant. Attacks with the blade gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. The blade is a magic weapon.
Curse
The blade actually has no magical properties, but not only do you believe they exist, you think everyone covets the blade and wants to take it from you. You also believe that if you slay legendary monsters with it, the blade grows stronger. In truth, the blade is a nonmagical shortsword with no bonuses to attack or damage rolls. Removing the curse from the blade changes the blade’s properties to that of a nonmagical shortsword with no bonuses.
Paid
No additional effects.
Overpaid
No additional effects.
