TextThis blade is fashioned from a lock of a medusa's hair. You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. Bite: On a critical hit, the target takes an extra 2d6 poison damage. Once per day when you reduce a creature to 0 HP, you can choose to petrify them. This condition lasts for 24 hours or until you dispel it as an action by touching the blade's hilt to the target. Finesse: When making an attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls. Light: A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two weapons. Proficiency: martial, shortsword Source: Tasha's Crucible of Everything Else, Volume 1 p. 70 (Homebrew)
