    [​IMG] Yes, it's cursed. And it has been discussed a number of times before. Make a search for Vampire's Revenge.

    A very small summary:

    The sword is a Long Sword +1, it damages wielder and heals victim and reduces Intelligence. You can get it by giving the ancient armor you find on a undead knight in the Firewine Ruins to the Ghost of Ulcaster.

    [​IMG] Why would anyone want it then?

    By the sounds of it, you may as well summon Drizzt Attack if you want to damage yourself!

    :confused:

    I think you need to give the Ghost of Ulcaster the Idol of Kozah as well in order to get it.

    May be it's just the old D&D fashion of "collecting" magic items ;)

    It basically gives a new look to the items. Its something different. It has both bonuses and disadvantages ... it makes the item more interesting istead of being a bland bonus or curse. Thats just my opinion any way...

    What's up with the 'one new post popping on this topic each month' thing?

    Both bonuses and disadvantages? Now what on earth is the bonus with a sword that damages you and heals the target? You could use it to heal your own characters, but after that the character's stuck with the weapon. Better having another person whacking the enemy, as a cleric or a wizard (i.e. backliner) can't hold a sword in his hand by the AD&D rules anyway.
