Kurwin's Cauteriser was a unique enchanted scimitar that once belonged to the infamous mortician Kurwin, who committed his depravities sometime before the late 15th century DR.[1]

Powers[]

The Cauteriser possessed a simple enchantment that heated up the blade, burned the targets with each slash, and had a chance of lighting the target aflame. Its slashes could also lacerate the target, leaving them bleeding.[1]

History[]

The Cauteriser was the weapon wielded by the mortician Kurwin, who used its magic blade to dissect cadavers. Eventually, the mortician found a bit too much pleasure in dissections and switched to other subjects—folk who wouldn't be missed. However, Kurwin's crimes came to an end after he targeted a tavern owner of some repute and the mortician was ratted out to the law. Subsequently, Kurwin's Cauteriser ended up in the paws of the kobold grave-robber Bugthimble, who desecrated the Lower City Graveyard in Baldur's Gate in the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR.[1]
