Dagger of Venom

The Dagger of Venom is a magical dagger owned by Vax'ildan, a member of Vox Machina.

Description
The dagger is a +1 weapon, applied to attack and damage rolls. As an action, the wielder can activate the blade and coat the edge with a poison that lasts for 1 minute or until it hits a creature. If a targeted creature fails a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, they suffer 2d10 additional poison damage and are poisoned for one minute. The feature cannot be used again until the next dawn.

History
The dagger of venom was one of the signature weapons of Vax'ildan since the very start of Campaign 1's streamed sessions, first seen used in against an ogre that emerged from the Greyspine Quarry. It was one of three weapons normally included in Vax's "dagger dagger dagger" attacks, along with the Dagger of Lifestealing, the Flametongue Dagger, and later, Whisper. Its last use was during the final battle against Vecna.

At least once, Vax used the poison aspect of the dagger as a threat to extort information.
