Bugs

• A permanent version of this weapon can be obtained by having a druid hireling such as  Danton cast  Flame Blade, immediately recalling their soul, and hiring them again. A blade created in this way can be wielded by any other party member, performs up to (5d6 + Strength modifier) Fire damage, and is the only Scimitar without the Finesse property.
