Daggers of impaling were a variety of daggers usable only by thieves that carried an enchantment that made extremely effective back-stabbing implements.[2][1][3]
Powers[]
In addition to carrying a +2 enchantment, when stabbed into the back of an opponent a dagger of impaling would deal far more grievous wound than normal and would become lodged within the open gashing wound. Whilst impaled, a dagger of impaling continued to cause harm to the victim's bodily health until removed. This property made them useful as a throwing weapon.[2][1][3]
History[]
Sometime around the 14th century DR, a group of Ravenian adventurers came across the corpse of a human man that had been killed with a dagger of impaling by members of the To Clan.[4]
As of the Year of the Tankard, 1370 DR, daggers of impaling gained some popularity among unsavory elements of Waterdeep and inhabitants of Undermountain, including the recently resurfaced Shadow Thieves guild.[1]
Notable Owners[]
- Misti Morgan, a thief of the fence variety in Ravens Bluff, owned two daggers of impaling.[5]
