Pixie Prick is an enchanted dagger +3 which can make enemies fall asleep for two rounds when they fail their save roll vs. poison (with a bonus of 6 to the saving throw in the original Shadows of Amn). In the Enhanced Editions the dagger is now op-coded to provide elves with a 90% chance to resist the sleep effect, and half elves with a 30% resistance. The sleep effect can be dispelled and is unaffected by magic resistance. The unconsciousness won't be removed by getting hurt while asleep, such as by a subsequent hit during the sleep duration.

Description[]

The Pixie Prick almost appears to be a toy, so fine and delicate is the workmanship of the blade and handle. Yet when wielded and the command word 'Sleep' is intoned, the tiny dagger glows with a blue nimbus. Upon striking an opponent the Pixie Prick releases a surge of powerful magic, potentially inducing a deep slumber. Legends say that the ancient sprite knight, Alfonso de Noble wielded the Pixie Prick, not as a dagger but as a two handed sword.
