Weapon (Short Sword), Rare
When it comes to creating sentient magical objects, you never know what you are going to get. In the case of the Vanity Blade, some of the creator’s ego may have rubbed off.
Mechanic
This blade deals 1 damage unless you stroke its ego. Flattering the sword requires a successful DC 11 Charisma (Persuasion) check. On a success, the weapon deals maximum damage for 10 minutes; otherwise, it continues to deal 1 damage and can’t be flattered again for 10 minutes.
