MAGIC ITEMS The Sheikh carries the Scimitar of Dakisir – heirloom of his tribe. The Black Banner is carried aloft by blind Ibn the beggar boy, who cannot see the peril he is in and so is always at the forefront of battle.
Scimitar of Dakisir (Magic Weapon). This scimitar is an heirloom of the tribal sheikhs of the Desert Dogs. It was forged centuries ago in the Kasbah of Dakisir, long ago sacked and ruined by the Undead. The blade is decorated with magical texts inlaid in gold. Thanks to his impressive weapon Sheikh Ahmed Shufti adds +1 Strength to blows he strikes and +2 Strength for blows struck in the turn in which he charges.
Black Banner of the Muktarhin (Magic Standard). When calculating which side wins the combat, the banner adds +D3 to the Desert Dog’s score.
