Rapier

Encyclopedia

Swashbuckling adventurers would feel naked without this sword at their side. The rapier is a long, thin, blade designed for thrusting rather than cutting. Its popularity among civilian duels has led some to hold the weapon in contempt, but in more practical combat it can hold its own against less stylish blades.

Special Details

• When an attack that deals electrical damage hits a square containing a rapier, it transforms into a Lightning Rapier with a number of charges equal to the damage dealt by the spell. A stack of rapiers will divide up the available charges, but each will get the same number of charges (at least one) so they become a stack of lightning rapiers. This only affects rapiers on the ground, not carried by monsters.
