Nightshade's +2 Throwing Dagger - 2021 (Gold)

This special weapon, created at the request of the Thieves' Guild Master Nightshade, has unique properties in the hands of a rogue when attempting a sneak attack.

If the rogue uses this weapon to perform a sneak attack, (assuming the monster has vital areas and can be sneak attacked) and the damage indicator points to the symbol on the damage wheel, Nightshade's +2 Throwing Dagger deals 10 damage. When not used by a rogue for a sneak attack, or when used by any other character class, the symbol deals 6 damage. In essence, the symbol could be interpreted to read "6 (or 10 if sneak attacking)".

If a rogue making a sneak attack scores a critical hit while wielding Nightshade's +2 Throwing Dagger, all damage is doubled, including the sneak attack bonus. When using most other weapons, sneak attack damage is not doubled on a crit.

If used as a thrown weapon, this dagger allows a rogue to make a ranged sneak attack without the normal one round delay. Bear in mind, this is not a returning dagger, so after it's been thrown, it cannot be used again in the same combat. If a player possesses more than one copy of this dagger, each one may be thrown once per combat, but possessing more than one copy does not grant any additional sneak attacks.

Note: When used in melee, this dagger does not negate the need for the standard prep round when making a sneak attack.

Assassin (Sub-Class) Note: The symbol counts as a "6" when making an assassination attack.

Combat DM Note: When determining which number is closest to the damage dot on the combat board, use the symbol as the focal point, not any of the characters surrounding it.
Q1) Does this item overcome any monster sneak attack or critical hit immunities?
A1) No.

Q2) Does Nightshade's +2 Throwing Dagger allow the wielder to sneak attack with a different ranged weapon as long as Nightshade's +2 Throwing Dagger is equipped as the character's melee weapon?
A2) No. Nightshade's +2 Throwing Dagger itself may be used to make one ranged sneak attack per combat by throwing it, but does not affect any other ranged attacks. (All non-Returning thrown weapons are only usable once per combat).

Q3) Does the dagger symbol result add +10 to sneak attack damage?
A3) No. The dagger symbol indicates a weapon damage of 10 on a sneak attack.
