Special Abilities
Diamond Blade
The Diamond Edge's blade is crafted with precision and infused with the properties of diamonds. This grants the shortsword the ability to slice through materials that would normally resist cutting. When you make an attack with the Diamond Edge, it ignores resistance to slashing or piercing damage from non-magical sources. Additionally, the shortsword can cut through objects and substances that are susceptible to being cut by diamonds with ease.
Rogue's Advantage
The Diamond Edge is particularly suited for rogues and other non-martial classes. When a rogue or a character with the Sneak Attack feature successfully hits with the Diamond Edge, they deal an additional 1d6 damage on top of the weapon's regular damage. This bonus damage represents the precision and lethality of their strikes, taking advantage of the Diamond Edge's exceptional cutting ability.
Note: The additional damage from the Rogue's Advantage ability is considered piercing damage and is subject to the usual rules for Sneak Attack damage.
