"I tire of this useless banter" declares Capizzio. He pulls out a silvered dagger and speaks words of artcane power ... "può questa lamierina persistere nella sconfitta dei miei nemici"
[sblock=spell description]pesistant blade, spell compendium, page 154:
PERSISTENT BLADE
Evocation [Force] Level: Sorcerer/wizard 1
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) 35 feet
Effect: One dagger made of force
Duration: 1 round/level (4 rounds)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
You hold a dagger in your hand and concentrate on it, evoking the power of the spell. A duplicate of the dagger, made of translucent force, appears besides it and flies off at your command. You bring into being a tiny blade of force. The blade flies at a speed of 40 feet (perfect) and attacks any target within its range, as you desire, starting in the round when you cast the spell. The blade attacks on your turn once each round, striking with an attack bonus equal to your base attack bonus + 1/2 your Int modifier and deals 1d4 points of damage, with a critical threat range of 19–20. If an ally also attacks the creature, the blade moves on your turn to flank the target. As a force effect, it can strike ethereal and incorporeal creatures. The blade cannot be attacked. Each round after the first, you can use a standard action to switch the blade to a new target; otherwise, it continues to attack the same target. If an attacked creature has spell resistance, the resistance is checked the first time the persistent blade strikes. If the blade is successfully
resisted, the spell is dispelled. If not, the blade has its normal full effect on that creature for the duration of the spell. Focus: A silvered dagger.[/sblock]
attack:
1d20+5=25, 1d4=3
possible crit:
1d20+5=14, 1d4=2
Capizzio pulls forth a silvered dagger and speakses the words with force, his attention focused on the weapon. a ghosly image superimposes itself over the dagger and it flies fast and true to the mouthy hobgoblin, striking with a solid
thunk.
the blade puls itself out and prepares to attack again, Capizzio standing in a trancelike state the whole time.
