Cruel Sting is one of the Longswords Weapons in Baldur's Gate 3. Cruel Sting is a crafty longsword that when wielded by a drow elf deals additional poison damage against restrained targets. In BG3, each type of weapon has different ranges, damages, and other features (Finesse, Versatile, Dippable, etc.). Characters need to master certain Proficiency before using a weapon, and sometimes gain special Actions while holding it.
The trauma of becoming a drider is quickly set aside with a cold arachnid dispassion. This sword follows that disturbing trend, a replenishing poison gland is built within, deployed only against trapped opponents.

AnonymousI wish any drow was proficient with this weapon, but they are only proficient with shortswords and rapiers by default

Anonymousbest looking longsword in game a shame is too situational to be useful

Anonymoushello everyone, for the +d6 psych it is an ability of Kar'niss. the sword keeps this +d6 until the next long rest. if you want to keep +d6 psy, you must send your weapon to the camp storage box every long rest

Anonymousthis also has +1d6 psychic damage or at least in the playthrough i am in now it does.

AnonymousI can't get this to do poison damage. I have tried against entangled, enwebbed from spells and also from the weapon skill; drow main, drow hireling and another save.

AnonymousDoes this apply for half drow's? Wont lie the full male drow elves are ugly as ****

AnonymousI don't get why this one doesn't have "finesse" when Larethian's Wrath and Phalar ALuve has it..
It would have been nice on a GLoomstalker or Gloom/Assassin... and made sense lorewise..
AnonymousI checked the combat log - it does not apply the poison damage if you are a half-drow.

Anonymousdoes its Ensnaring Strands work with ranger lvl 1, bounty hunter?

AnonymousDoes this half to be a full drow? Or does a half blood drow work too?

AnonymousYeah I had the same experience as the other two commenters Initially it had 1d6 psychic and then it went away, I was not paying a lot of attention to when precisely, but I did long rest between getting it and loosing the 1d6 psychic damage so that could be it.

AnonymousAfter I picked it up it also had 1d6 pych dmg, but the pych damage went away after a long rest for some reason

So I sent Kar'niss in to the dark, Can I still find his body or is this weapon now gone this play through?
