Ask fellow adventurers how to stay alive in the deep, dark, dangerous dungeon below, or share your own accumulated wisdom.

That's all you get from it. Meaning, instead of doing 4 damage, it does 4.5. Not a very good brand on daggers.

I think it's one of the worst brands on any weapon. Which is strange, because from a D&D background it seems like it should be great.
