Peridan, also known as Dragonslayer, is an enchanted long sword +2. This weapon deals 1d8+2 points of slashing damage, which is doubled when fighting dragons. It also gives the wearer immunity from fear and restores 1 hit point per turn when wielded. It has a -2 bonus to THAC0, a weight of 3 lbs and a speed factor of 3. This item appears in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.

Location[]

It can be found in a part of the Firkraag's Maze, which are only accessible when accepting the Samia's Plan Foiled side quest from Samia herself. The Dragon Scale Shield is found at the same place.

Description[]

Long sword +2: Dragonslayer (Peridan)
Few dare to create items such as this, for who does not fear the wrath of dragons, and what action would more tempt their reckoning? Yet, at a time lost in Faerun's past, there was a need, and this sword was forged in answer. Tempered by a wizard's skill, this blade protects the wielder from the fear they should rightly feel while staring down a dragon's maw. It also bolsters with regeneration, dispels the trickery of illusions, and dares to do double damage against the greatest creatures of the Realms.

Notes[]

  • Although the item description claims that the sword deals "double damage against dragons", it actually deals an additional 1d8+2 damage to dragons instead. Bonuses to damage from sources such as Strength, Weapon Proficiency or buff spells will not be doubled.
  • In the original edition of BGII only, this means that Peridan takes off two layers from a dragon's Stoneskin in a single hit.
