Khazid'hea, a.k.a. Cutter: +2 keen sure-striking adamantine longsword; AL CN; Int 17, Wis 10, Cha 17; Telepathy (Khazid'hea appears to lack the ability to speak or read); 120 ft. darkvision and hearing; Ego score 17.
Lesser Powers: Khazid'hea grants its wielder free use of the Cleave, Great Cleave, and Improved Sunder feats.
Special Purpose: Defeat/slay all (other than the item and wielder).
Dedicated Power: Cause rage in wielder as wizard spell.
Personality: Taken from Dantrag Baenre, a drow battle master, Khazid'hea has little personality of which to speak. The blade longs for little more than the chaos of battle and the blood of foes, and it constantly eggs its wielder into battle and is jealous of any kill for which it is not responsible. However, the blade makes little distinction between friend and foe and is likely to demand its wielder battle allies when all enemies have fallen. The blade grants its wielder the benefits of rage only if the wielder agrees to kill all "foes" or the blade is dominant. If Khazid'hea is dominated by its wielder, it alter its pommel to better suit the aesthetic tastes of its new master.
Khazid'hea was the evil sentient blade Catti-brie wielded during The Legacy period, the blade having a wicked design all its own and the ability to communicate with its user as well to change the shape of its hilt; the super sharp blade could also cut through stone. Khazid'hea could easily take over the minds of others in its search to be wielded by the dark elf ranger Drizzt Do'Urden, by its measure the greatest fighter in the world. Catti-brie, however, was able to overcome the sword and put it to deadly use, though soon Khazid'hea left her hands, eventually leading to the death of Delly Curtie, Wulfgar's wife, and falling into the hands of another drow. The sword's ego, it seems, could not stand Catti-brie's use of Taulmaril.
Catti-brie came into possession of the sword in Starless Night, after Drizzt killed the late Dantrag Baenre, the highly skilled owner of Khazid'hea, in furious combat. The sword offered itself to Drizzt by fashioning its hilt into the shape of a unicorn's head, a symbol of Drizzt's Goddess, Mielikki, but Drizzt refused, saying "I favor the scimitar," and so Catti-brie took up the blade instead.
The sword's name, Khazid'hea, literally means cutter in the drow language.
The Blade itself is sentient and greatly wishes to be wielded only by the best. It will take over the mind of the "owner", as evidenced by its manipulation of Delly Curtie, Wulfgar's wife, and subsequently several foolish orcs, in order to get to Drizzt Do'Urden in the book The Two Swords. Later when Drizzt takes the blade back from an unfortunate orc soldier, he uses it in vicious battle with Obould, the cruel orc king. He loses Khazid'hea in this battle and Obould, instead of using the devastating blade to his advantage, throws it down a mountainside, where it finally comes into possession of Tos'un Armgo-who is undoubtedly of alike mind.

UGC Campaign: The Coldblooded Scrolls
aka The Cutter
Extra points?: It changes it's handle to seem more appealing to Drizzt, but can't change it's blade so he doesn't take it (he uses Scimitars)
