Daggers, Kris's, & ShortSwords

Fire Kris
This magical dagger gives you the attack strength of 1 combat die. This kris also has the ability to redirect fire spells and attacks. With directional fire attacks (ex. "Ball of Flame", Dragon flame, etc.) , you may redirect the fire by rolling a white shield on 1 Combat Die. If successful, you may redirect the attack to any monster in the room (the initial spellcaster or attacker excluded), or to an empty wall. With non-directional attack (ex. "FireStorm"), you are automatically protected from 2 Body Points of Damage.
A Kris will recognize only one master, and may not be passed to another Hero. The only time another Hero may touch the Kris is after the character possessing the blade dies.

BloodThirst Kris
This magical dagger gives you the attack strength of 1 combat die. However, every time you successfully make a kill with this Kris, its combat strength goes up by 2 dice. Once the Kris reaches 7 Combat Dice, it starts to attack its master's mind. At a combat strength of 7, it attacks with one Combat Die, and every time its combat strength increases by two, its mental attack increases by one. The owner defends by rolling one Combat Die per each remaining Mind Point. If at any time the Hero's Mind Points are reduced to Zero, they become a mindless servant of Zargon and will start killing under Zargon's control.
The Kris is reset at the start of each game.
A Kris will recognize only one master, and may not be passed to another Hero. The only time another Hero may touch the Kris is after the character possessing the blade dies.
