Gameplay[]
The weapon is encountered in the game and is wielded in the main hand by the bhaalspawn Gromnir Il-Khan and can be acquired by defeating this Half-orc; who is alongside his various fighting lackeys. The player will find it on his corpse with other dropped loot.
The wielder receives a -4 THAC0 bonus applied to the attack roll with this weapon.
Upon a successful hit on a target, the weapon inflicts 2d4+4 Crushing damage, which can be modified by Strength. In addition to the physical damage, each hit applies 1d4 Cold damage as well. The cold damage is a non-magical Elemental damage type, that is unaffected by Magic resistance or spell Power level protections.
The item also applies a passive +20% resistance to Fire damage (and Magical Fire damage). The wielder's portrait will display icon number 16 "Protection from fire".
