As a drow, Drizzt has light blindness (blinded for 1 round by abrupt exposure to bright light, -1 circumstance penalty on all attack rolls, saves, and checks while operating in bright light).

Trapfinding: Drizzt can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a DC higher than 20.

Wild Empathy (Ex): Drizzt can use body language, vocalizations, and demeanor to improve the attitude of an animal (such as a bear or a monitor lizard). This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. His bonus on the check is +10. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. Drizzt and the animal must study each other for 1 minute.

New Equipment and Magic Items

“… He sifted through the portion of the pile he had just freed from the ice, uncovering a gem-encrusted sword pommel, its black adamantite hilt masterfully sculpted into the likeness of the toothed maw of a hunting cat. The lure of the intricate workmanship pulled at Drizzt, and with trembling fingers he slid the rest of the weapon out from under the gold.

A scimitar. Its curving blade was of silver, and diamond-edged. Drizzt raised it before him, marveling at its lightness and perfect balance.

"A few baubles . . . and this," he corrected. “ – excerpt from The Crystal Shard

Icingdeath : This +2 frost scimitar is made of Solarian Truesteel which gives it a silvery gleam (as well as a +1 to confirm critical). It sheds light as a torch when the temperature drops below 0°F. At such times it cannot be concealed when drawn, nor can its light be shut off. Its wielder is protected from fire; the sword absorbs the first 10 points of fire damage each round that the wielder would otherwise take . Icingdeath extinguishes all nonmagical fires in its area. As a standard action, it can also dispel lasting fire spells , but not instantaneous effects , though you must succeed on a dispel check (1d20 +14) against each spell to dispel it. The DC to dispel such spells is 11+ the caster level of the fire spell.

In addition to the frost brand abilities, Icingdeath is also an intelligent evil outsider bane scimitar with the following properties and powers; AL NG; Int 15, Wis 15, Cha 10; Empathy, 60ft. darkvision and hearing; Ego score 16.

Special Purpose : Slay/Defeat Evil Outsiders

Dedicated Lesser Power : Icingdeath has +10 ranks in sense motive against evil outsiders.

Dedicated Power : Icingdeath has the Magic Strike ability which treats damage inflicated as cold iron, silver, and good-aligned against evil outsiders.

Icingdeath communicates to the wielder by urges and sometimes emotions. This happens when the presence of evil outsiders is detected by the scimitar. Against evil outsiders (even in disguise or with an alter-self/polymorph spell in effect), Icingdeath will have a rank of +12 in sense motive to check to avoid being bluffed.

Strong evocation ; CL 15th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, ice storm, aura against flame (MoF), summon monster I; Price 77,420 gp; Cost 39340 gp and 5 sp + 3097 XP.

History: During the middle of the thirteenth century, some defenders of the high forrest banded together to help stem the corruption of the fiends of Hellgate Keep. Andrath, a cleric of Eldath created a scimitar with the help of his goddess for a half-elf ranger/druid of Meilikki name Celina. A fierce defender of the forrest, she (and Andrath) eventually fell to the fiends but not without taking a whole group with them. Part of Celina's soul still powers the intelligence and the hatred against the fiends that defiled her beloved forrest. Sadly, the scimitar stayed unnamed until a little more than a century later, when the famed ranger Drizzt Do'urden named it after the dragon whose lair he found it from.

Bracers of the Blinding Strike : These bracers of armor +6 give the wearer the benefits of the Improved Initiative feat. When making a full attack action, the wearer may make one extra attack with it. The attack uses the wielder's full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This benefit is not cumulative with similar effects, such as a haste spell.)

When worn as anklets, it takes the slot of shoes/boots. The wearer gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. All of the wearer's modes of land movement increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the wearer's normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature's jumping distance as normal for increased speed.

Strong transmutaion; CL 12th; Craft Wondrous Item, haste, mage armor; Price 85000 gp; Weight: 1lb.

This item appeared in the Magic of Faerun and has been updated.

Ad'non's Silkshirt : Found on the body of Ad'non, a renegade drow working with the orc king Obould, this +5 spidersilk shirt is also moderately fortified. A magical force protects vital areas of the wearer more effectively. When a critical hit or sneak attack is scored on the wearer, there is a 75% chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally.

The armor has an arcane spell failure chance of 10%, a maximum Dexterity bonus of +8, and no armor check penalty. It is considered light armor and weighs 5 pounds. Total AC Bonus is +8.

Strong abjuration; CL 13th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, miracle ; Price 64,900 gp; Cost 32900 gp + 2596 XP

"I see that one of your scabbards is empty," he said to Drizzt. Malchor pulled a beautifully crafted scimitar from its mount. "Perhaps this will fill it properly."

Drizzt sensed the power of the weapon as he took it from the wizard, felt the care of its crafting and the perfection of its balance. A single, star-cut blue sapphire glittered in its pommel.

"Its name is Twvinkle," Malchor said. "Forged by the elves of a past age."

"Twinkle," echoed Drizzt. Instantly a bluish light limned the weapon's blade. Drizzt felt a sudden surge within it, and somehow sensed a finer edge to its cut. He swung it a few times, trailing blue light with each motion. How easily it arced through the air; how easily it would cut down a foe! Drizzt slid it reverently into his empty scabbard.

"It was forged in the magic of the powers that all the surface elves hold dear," said Malchor. "Of the stars and the moon and the mysteries of their souls. You deserve it, Drizzt Do'Urden, and it will serve you well."

- excerpt from The Halfing's Gem

Twinkle : This elven made +4 defending scimitar has a star cut sapphire adorning the pommel. When wielded in battle, Twinkle glows with bluish light that can illuminate an area with a 20-foot radius. On occasion, this ability can be turned off by the wielder.

"If yer talent for the craft is keen," his father had said, "and ye're lucky enough to live long and feel the strength of the earth, ye'll find a special day. A special blessin' - some would say a curse - has been placed upon our people, for once, and only once, the very best of our smiths may craft a weapon of their choosing that outdoes any work they'd ever done. Be wary of that day, son, for ye'll put a great deal of yerself into that weapon. Ye'll never match its perfection in yer life again and, knowing this, ye'll lose a lot of the craftsman's desire that drives the swing of yer hammer. Ye may find an empty life after yer day, but if yer good as yer line says ye'll be, ye'll have crafted a weapon of legend that will live on long after yer bones are dust. "

- excerpt from The Crystal Shard

Aegis Fang : This weapon appears to be an extra large hammer made of mithral and functions as a +3 maul. However, a character of good alignment and with sufficient strength (at least 19) finds that the maul gains an additional +1 enhancement bonus (for a total enhancement bonus of +4) and deals additional +1d4 points of bonus damage on any hit. It also gains the ability to be hurled with a 30-foot range increment. It returns to its thrower on the round after it was thrown or when called and is then ready to be wielded or thrown again:

Bruenor accepted the compliment silently and bent to dust the dirt from Garumn's helm. "Garumn wears still the armor and weapons of Bruenor, me namesake and the hero of me clan. Me guess is that they cursed this place as they died," he said, "for the gray ones did not return and loot."

Drizzt agreed with the explanation, aware of the power of the curse of a king when his homeland has fallen.

Reverently, Bruenor lifted Garumn's remains and bore them into a side chamber. Drizzt did not follow, allowing the dwarf his privacy in this moment. Drizzt returned to Catti-brie and Wulfgar to help them comprehend the importance of the scene around them.

They waited patiently for many minutes, imagining the course of the epic battle that had taken place and their minds hearing clearly the sounds of axe on shield, and the brave war cries of Clan Battlehammer.

Then Bruenor returned arid even the mighty images the friends' minds had concocted fell short of the sight before them. Regis dropped the few baubles he had found in utter amazement, and in fear that a ghost from the past had returned to thwart him.

Cast aside was Bruenor's battered shield. The dented and one-horned helm was strapped on his backpack. He wore the armor of his namesake, shining mithril, the mug standard on the shield of solid gold, and the helm ringed with a thousand glittering gemstones. "By me owns eyes, I proclaim the legends as true," he shouted boldly, lifting the mithril axe high above him. "Garumn is dead and me father, too. Thus I claim me title: Eighth King of Mithril Hall!"

The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. Cattie-Brie and the animal must study each other for 1 minute. This ability can also be used to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a -4 penalty on the check.

Languages: Chondathan, Common, Dwarven, Illuskan.

Possessions: +1 mithral shirt, Khazid'hea (see below), +1 distance dagger, Taulmaril (a.k.a. Heartseeker; +3 force keen elven longbow ; see elven bow below), circlet of starlight sight (see below), quiver of Anariel (alchemical silver arrows; see below).

New Equipment and Magic Items

Khazid'hea, a.k.a. Cutter: +2 keen sure-striking adamantine longsword; AL CN; Int 17, Wis 10, Cha 17; Telepathy (Khazid'hea appears to lack the ability to speak or read); 120 ft. darkvision and hearing; Ego score 17.

Lesser Powers: Khazid'hea grants its wielder free use of the Cleave, Great Cleave, and Improved Sunder feats.

Special Purpose: Defeat/slay all (other than the item and wielder).

Dedicated Power: Cause rage in wielder as wizard spell.

Personality: Taken from Dantrag Baenre, a drow battle master, Khazid'hea has little personality of which to speak. The blade longs for little more than the chaos of battle and the blood of foes, and it constantly eggs its wielder into battle and is jealous of any kill for which it is not responsible. However, the blade makes little distinction between friend and foe and is likely to demand its wielder battle allies when all enemies have fallen. The blade grants its wielder the benefits of rage only if the wielder agrees to kill all "foes" or the blade is dominant. If Khazid'hea is dominated by its wielder, it alter its pommel to better suit the aesthetic tastes of its new master.

Regis, meanwhile, had found something more, a golden plaque wedged in another crack in the pile. He managed to slip it free and brought it into the torchlight to read its carved runes.

" 'Taulmaril the Heartseeker,' " he read. " 'Gift of-' "

"Anariel, Sister of Faerun," Bruenor finished without even looking at the plaque. He nodded in recognition to Catti-brie's questioning glance.

"Free the bow, boy," he told Wulfgar. "Suren it might be put to a better use than this."

Wulfgar had already discerned the structure of the pile and started lifting away specific blocks at once. Soon Catti-brie was able to wiggle the longbow free, but she saw something else beyond its nook in the pile and asked Wulfgar to keep digging.

While the muscled barbarian pushed aside more stones, the others marveled at the beauty of the bow. Its wood hadn't even been scratched by the stones and the deep finish of its polish returned with a single brush of the hand. Catti-brie strung it easily and held it up, feeling its solid and even draw.

- From Streams of Silver

Taulmaril the Heartseeker: A gift from Lady Anariel to Clan Battlehammer, this beautifully crafted +3 force keen elven bow is made of polished wood. Though highly decorated, elf crafters also gave the bow metal inlays which gives the wielder the option to fend off attacks without sacrificing rate of fire and accuracy.

Taulmaril has a +3 enhancement and arrows launched from it emit a powerful jolt of magical force and deal an additional 1d6 points of force damage on a successful hit. If the arrow successfully hits a target protected by a force effect, such as a shield spell or bracers of armor, it might dispel the force effect in addition to damaging the target. Make a dispel check (1d20+10) against the effect (DC 11 + caster level). If the check succeeds, the force effect is dispelled (if a spell) or suppressed for 1d4 rounds (if a magic item). Incorporeal creatures get no miss chance against force weapons.

If used as an offensive weapon, Taulmaril acts as two-handed melee weapon that deals 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage. The wielder does not get any masterwork or enhancement bonuses when using the bow to attack in melee.

Quiver of Anariel: Quivers of Anariel appear to be typical arrow containers capable of holding a score of arrows. However, the quivers automatically replenish themselves with standard or magical arrows, such that they are always full. This particular quiver creates arrows made of alchemical silver.

Once an arrow it taken from the quiver, it must be used within 1 round or it vanishes.
