Shellbreaker Daggers

Sometimes a Drak hatchling proves too weak to break its shell. In such cases, the Broodwardens use this poison-tipped blade to cut the egg open. The young bear a mark from that day onward — a symbol of frailty that brands them for life, forever beneath those who hatched unaided. Finesse: The damage caused by this weapon scales with your dexterity attribute. You can execute a unique post-parry attack.
