Cord Cutter (Patreon)

Weapon (dagger), rare (requires attunement)

A bloody and tarnished razor, now a twisted shadow of its former self. This weapon deals slashing damage instead of its normal piercing damage. 

Bloody Barber. The number needed to score a critical hit against a grappled, restrained, or incapacitated creature with this weapon is reduced by 1. 

Larynx Laceration. When you kill a creature with this weapon, you absorb knowledge of your quarry. For the next 24 hours, you gain the following benefits:

• You can speak and understand any languages the creature knew in life. 

• You can mimic the voice of the creature. A creature that hears the sounds can tell it is an imitation with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Insight) check. 

You cannot benefit from this property multiple times. If you kill another creature while this property is active, the duration is reset and the benefits of this property are updated to the new creature.

There is a terrible tale told only in hushed whispers of the unfortunate barber, a man falsely accused and subsequently executed for crimes of which he was not guilty. He continued to cry out for mercy until he was silenced by the noose around his throat. Buried with his favorite razors in an act of spite, his restless spirit rose to exact vengeance upon those who ignored his pleas, to silence them as he was. To this day, the denizens of that fair city dare not venture out at night, and have learned to ignore any calls and requests that fall upon their ears, for they know not who may be truly speaking.
