The Pit - The Armory

	Blade of the Immortal (Unique, Artifact) Damage: 2-3 Piercing Enchanted: +1 THAC0: +1 Speed: 1 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This is the strange blade that the iron golem forged using a drop of your blood. It is an ugly looking weapon, shaped so it resembles one of the symbols on your left arm. Black veins worm their way across the surface of the metal, and the edge looks so dull that it couldn't even cut warm butter. It pulses slightly as you hold it, like a heart. The golem claimed this "blade" could slay even you - provided it was used in a place that was cut off from the rest of the Planes.

	Bone Dagger Damage: 1-6 Piercing Enchanted: +1 Special: +1 Piercing Damage THAC0: +1 Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests The blade of this dagger seems to be made from the bone of some creature. The edge of this blade is extremely sharp.

	"Celestial Fire" Damage: 3-18 Slashing Enchanted: +2 Special: .....+2 to Armor Class .....+10 Fire Damage .....+10% Resistance to Slashing Attacks THAC0: +2 Speed: 3 Weight: 5 Proficiency: Edged Usable Lawful Good characters "Celestial Fire" is the only object that Trias has left to remind him of the Upper Planes. This heavy blade is warm to the touch, and flames have been carved across the surface of the blade. The intricacy of the carvings is breathtaking; they are done with such skill that the sword seems to be burning with metallic flames... someone must have spent several centuries rendering them. The metal of the blade is unfamiliar... it is heavy, but it shines like silver. The sword looks several millenia old. A faint hum can be felt within it, and the vibration becomes stronger when it touches human flesh. Not surprisingly, "Celestial Fire" can be wielded only by those with sufficient strength and purity of heart. When used in combat, "Celestial Fire" bursts into a holy radiance that burns any evil creature it strikes in combat.

	Dak'kon's Zerth Blade ("Chained Blade") Damage: 2-9 Slashing Special: +1 to Armor Class THAC0: +1 Speed: 7 Weight: 5 Proficiency: Edged Usable only by Dak'kon On the githzerai's home plane of Limbo, solid matter is something of a rarity. Limbo itself is a soupy mess of elements, and only through force of will can the githzerai shape these elements into stable matter. A substance called "karach" is a material that can be shaped with the mind. Dak'kon's blade is composed of this substance; through mental discipline alone, Dak'kon maintains the integrity of the blade. He can shape it slightly depending on his skill, adjusting its length, sharpness of the edge. Presumably as he gains levels, he may be able to manipulate the blade in new ways. It is not known whether all githzerai zerth carry such weapons. Certainly a weapon that depends on the integrity of the wielder would be entrusted only to those who had learned to discipline themselves. This blade appears to have special religious significance for Dak'kon. Dak'kon has wound a series of parchments around the hilt of the blade. These appear to be matras dedicated to Zerthimon. NOTE: This is the state the blade is in when you first encounter Dak'kon.

	Dak'kon's Zerth Blade ("Chained Blade" at Dak'kon level 6) Enchanted: +3 Damage: 5-20 Slashing Special: +6 to Armor Class Doubles all 1st Level Mage Spells Doubles all 2nd Level Mage Spells THAC0: +3 Speed: 6 Weight: 5 Proficiency: Edged Usable only by Dak'kon

	Enlightenment Damage: 2-7 Piercing Enchanted: +2 Special: +2 Piercing Damage +1 to Charisma +1 to Armor Class THAC0: +2 Speed: 1 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Daggers Not usable by Priests Usable only by Godsmen The second weapon of the Godsmen's "Triad of Tests" -- "Ascension" and "Reason" are the other two weapons in the triad -- this dagger is slim, perfectly balanced, and light as a feather. The symbol of the Godsmen is engraved along the blade, and the entire weapon seems to shiver as if in anticipation. You are the first to bear this weapon.

	Entropic Blade Damage: 3-23 Slashing Enchanted: +2 THAC0: +2 Speed: 7 Weight: 7 Proficiency: Edged Usable only by Fighters This strange item was in your possession after you gave the Modron Cube to the iron golem in the Siege Tower. It looks to be a small dagger, but its surface twists and bends as you watch, as if struggling to break free from its shape. It looks to be made of iron, silver, and any of a number of different metals. Sometimes they blend together, other times, they submerge into the core of the blade, only to resurface again minutes later.

	Fiend's Blood Dagger (Cursed) Damage: 3-8 Piercing Special: .....Poison's Target .....-4 Save vs Spells .....Causes user to go Beserk in Combat THAC0: +2 Speed: 1 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests Years of being embedded in the flesh of a fiend have imbued this once ordinary dagger with qualities best left with their kind. Blood of the fiend has infused itself with the dagger causing it to feel slightly warm to the touch. When in combat the user of this dagger can hear a constant chittering in the back of his mind causing him to lose all self-control making him unstoppable in combat, but vulnerable to spells. The history of this dagger is for the most part unknown. More than likely some berk perished while fighting the fiend, losing his dagger as well as his life. For now the name is but a description, it has yet to earn a proper title.

	Green Steel Dagger Damage: 2-5 Piercing Speed: 1 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This slim dagger has been forged out of the famed Baatorian Green Steel. Found only in the wastelands of Avernus, this peculiar green ore can be tempered into metal much lighter than normal steel. In addition, Green Steel weapons tend to retain thier remarkable fine edges and are capable of dealing out more damage than their standard counterparts.

	Green Steel Knife Damage: 1-4 Piercing Speed: 1 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This razor sharp knife has been forged out of the famed Baatorian Green Steel. Found only in the wastelands of Avernus, this peculiar green ore can be tempered into metal much lighter than normal steel. In addition, Green Steel weapons tend to retain thier remarkable fine edges and are capable of dealing out more damage than their standard counterparts.

	High Quality Stiletto Damage: 1-4 Piercing Speed: 1 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This slim dagger is a beauty among its kind. It is a one-handed thrusting weapon.

	Iron Spike Damage: 1-3 Piercing Speed: 2 Weight: 2 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This is a crude iron spike, covered with rust. If necessary, you could use it as a dagger.

	Kaarlac's Knife Damage: 1-3 Slashing Special: Doubles all 1st level Mage Spells Speed: 1 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Usable only by Mages The final achievement of one Kaarlac Cragenmoor, the enchanted knife is a boon to those who practice the mystic arts. Kaarlac, ever one to aspire to greatness, sought to create a magic item that could retain an imprint of a portion of his memory -- particularly the short term memory that contained his considerable spell repertoire. He theorized that, that if successful, he could effectively double the amount of spell knowledge he could retain at any given time. Unfortunately, the enchantment was beyond his capability and in the midst of his fervent casting, Kaarlac went mad and plunged the knife into his own chest. His sacrifice, however, was not in vain, for the knife possesses enough of the intended enchantement to bestow upon its wielder the ability to memorize twice the number of first level spells.

	Knife Damage: 1-3 Piercing Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This knife has a four-inch blade, with a plain handle of bone.

	Mad Splinter Damage: 2-5 Piercing Enchanted: +1 Special: .....Poisons Target .....Fragile, Breakable THAC0: +1 Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This is a dagger-shaped fragment of stone taken from the statue of Gangroightdron. It bears a powerful enchantment -- each time someone is stabbed by the splinter, they have a chance of being Cursed. It is most likely that the fell curse trapped upon Gangroighydron's lips has soaked into the very stone of his petrified form, and 'poisons' those the splinter stabs with his malicious magic.

	Notched Dagger Damage: 1-6 Piercing Enchanted: +2 Special: +2 Piercing Damage THAC0: +2 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This dagger has various notches strategically placed about the blade. When used correctly, this dagger has the ability to catch incoming blows from bladed weapons.

	Phantom Dagger Damage: 1-6 Piercing Enchanted: +3 Special: +3 Piercing Damage THAC0: +3 Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests As if of its own volition, this dagger seems to reach out to its enemies, instinctively finding the most vulnerable spots on any creature.

	Poor Quality Stiletto Damage: 1-2 Piercing Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This squat dagger, while ideally a thrusting weapon, looks like it would be better used as a paperweight. It is not sharp or well-balanced, and might actually hinder you in combat.

	Porphatys Blade (Cursed) Damage: 1-6 Piercing Enchanted: +3 Special: .....1-6 Acid Damage .....Beserk THAC0: +3 Speed: 0 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests The acids of Porphyatys, the fifth layer of Carceri, are dangerous to more than a body's physical form - they tear at his mind and soul, eating away at his reason. Weapons forged in this heart of betrayal do the same thing to their owners, but too many believe that the acidic powers of a weapon created in Porphatys are worth the risk.

	Ravel's Fingernail (Unique, Artifact) Damage: 2-7 Piercing Enchanted: +2 Special: 2-12 Poison Damage THAC0: +2 Speed: 1 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This twisted fingernail of extruded night hag skin has got to be one of the ugliest things you have ever seen. Its mottled green, red, and black surface is almost a foot long, and it seems like it was used alternately as a scratching aid, nose-picking tool, and gardening trowel. Looking at it makes you wish that Ravel did chew her nails. Or at least had a nail file with her in the maze.

	Scalpel Damage: 1-3 Piercing Speed: 1 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This simple surgical cutting tool looks like it's seen a lot of use.

	Silver Hairpin Damage: 1-2 Piercing Speed: 1 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This is a thin silver hair pin. The tip is extremely sharp.

	Small Steel Fork Damage: 1-2 Piercing Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This fork is definitely no prize piece of cutlery. Its steel finish is scratched and slightly bent and its tines are crusted with dirt.

	Stiletto Damage: 1-3 Piercing Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This is a short dagger with a slender blade.

	Steak Knife Damage: 1-3 Slashing Speed: 2 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This is a common steak knife. You're sure if this dagger could talk, it would have many long-winded stories about cooking and carving large haunches of meat.

	Uhir's Knife Damage: 1-3 Piercing Special: +1 to Luck Speed: 1 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This unremarkable, dirt-caked dagger has the letters 'UHIR' carved into its handle. Despite its shoddy appearance the blade is well-balanced.

	Widowmaker Damage: 3-7 Piercing Enchanted: +2 Special: +2 Slashing Damage Poisons Target +25% Resistance to Poison THAC0: +2 Speed: 1 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Usable only by Thieves Tempered with the lethal venom of the dreaded hook spider, the magical properties of this blade, known simply as "Widowmaker," are much sought after by practicing assassins throughout the Planes. The poison that has been magically and permenantly infused into the dagger immediately infects those cut by it. Additionally, the wielder of "Widowmaker" immediately develops an improved resistance to poison simply from holding the blade.
