(minor) Sacrificial Dagger and Crude Dagger identical

    Just started a new game with Blood Magic as a skillpick, also picked up a Crude Dagger early on.

    However, they are identical in statistics. From a balance perspective this is probably fine, but from an aesthetic perspective, I'd like my neato sacrificial dagger that has tasted the blood of a thousand virginal diggles (or whatever. Eww. Actually ignore that bit) to be a bit better than a crude breadknife I found on the dungeon floor.

    I'm not sure what to suggest without unbalancing it too much, but maybe another point of slashing damage on the sacrificial dagger, or a couple of points of enemy dodge reduction, or a proc to inflict bleeding (low chance) and a hint of such in the description.

    Alternatively, if it's already just fine where it is then perhaps the Crude Dagger needs a slight disadvantage, perhaps a -1 or -2 to EDR?
     
  2. Sacrificial dagger used to give a +1 buff to magic power, I'm not entirely sure where that went?

    It'd definitely help diversify them.

    I'm pretty sure the change to sacrificial dagger was an error.
     
  4. It's a bug, not a feature.

    I believe they're also identical to the Shiv you start off with.

    So many worthless daggers, too little time to get better ones...

    Play Polearms. Knife on a stick just works better.

    Except you can't be sneaky. And you don't get thaumites or +:crit: stances with polearms.
