Campaign: The Lost Mine - Ian
Elvish script is etched on both sides of the blade of this well-crafted rapier. Its guard has an intricate vine and leaf pattern, while the base of its pommel is embossed with a heraldic crest.
"First Strike" is a magic rapier of elven craftmanship that only weighs 1 lb, giving it the "light" weapon property (thus it can be used with two-weapon fighting).
The bearer of "First Strike" hears ghostly indistinct whispers from an elvish warrior warning them of danger. This grants a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn't incapacitated.

Design Notes:
Its base value is: 175 gp (uncommon)
= 25 gp - physical value of the rapier.
= 50 gp - guardian (common item/minor property).
= 100 gp - light weapon (uncommon item)
Inspired by the tables in the DMG on page 142-143 to make this magic item unique.
Basically, they provide ideas for the creator, history, minor property and quirk.
- creator: elf
- history: n/a
