Justiciar's Scimitar

Justiciar's Scimitar is a very rare +2 Scimitar weapon that can blind an opponent if the wielder strikes with Advantage. It also grants the Shadowsoaked Blow weapon action.

This light, curved blade is as unusual and unforgiving as the Darkness it strikes from.

Notes

• This weapon does not have a proficiency classification, and does not require proficiency in Scimitars to use.
• Despite the tooltip not stating so, Shadow-Blinding applies only to attacks made with the Justiciar's Scimitar itself.

Bugs

• Due to the missing proficiency classification, this weapon cannot be used to activate Bladesong when equipped in the mainhand weapon slot, although equipping it does not apply Bladesong Impeded (Condition).
  • This issue does not occur when equipped in the offhand weapon slot.
• Shadow-Blinding is non-functional in Honour mode.
• This weapon has a hidden version of the  Shadow Blade applied to it, which grants advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls while active, including weapon attack rolls for another equipped melee weapon while dual-wielding.
