Ritual Dagger of Shar

Ritual Dagger of Shar is an uncommon +1 Dagger that deals an additional 1d4 Necrotic damage.

The blade is sharp, and the handle firm. Yet death exudes from this dagger as it might from a fresh corpse.

If you have proficiency, equip in main hand to gain:

 Piercing Strike (): Stab an enemy and possibly inflict  Gaping Wounds. ( Recharge: Short rest.)

Sharran Sanctuary X: 249 Y: -847: on an altar in a hidden room at the bottom of the sanctuary

Picking up this dagger:
- Is disapproved of by  Shadowheart (-1), unless she does this herself.
- Grants the inspiration ⁠A Dark Edge for party members with the Criminal background and ⁠Ruthless Craftsmanship for party members with the Guild Artisan background.
- Spawns three powerful sentinels that attack the party.
  - The fight with sentinels is still triggered if the dagger is moved from the altar, which also prevents the party from picking up the dagger at all, even after defeating the sentinels – unless it is thrown so Scratch can fetch it.^[verify]
As with most weapons, the extra elemental damage (in this case, 1d4 Necrotic) is not applied if  Thrown.
