A Short D&D History

New Magic Item: Vampire's Curse

I just made a new magic dagger called the Vampire's Curse. You can see it below or go to dndsnd Wiki. Let me know what you think.

clipped from dndsnd.pbwiki.com

The Dagger Vampire's Curse is 21 inches in length, made from solid silver hardened both magically and alchemically. The dagger is a +2 weapon for the most part and is actually two daggers one dagger is a 15 inch ironwood blade that slides in and out of a slot position above the guard of the of the silver blade, the wooden blade is also +2. The ironwood blade is attuned to the silver dagger and if it is removed or stolen will allways return to it's position on the silver blade within 24 hours. Vampire's curse is a bane to all undead increasing it's enhancement bonus by +2 and dealing an extra 2d6 damage against foes against vampires however it has one more ability much like a holy symbol you can hold a vampire at bay, it must stay at least 5ft away from the wielder once presented toward the vampire, which is a standard action. Should the wielder attack then the vampire may attack back at a -2 to all it's attacks and abilities.

Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition, Wizads of the Coast

I know that Wizards has been releasing Dungeons and Dragons new editions and revisions for the past 8 years. I also know that some people are not to happy about it, however I am not one of those unhappy people I love what Wizards has been doing and look forward to the newest and what I see to be one of the best incarnations of DnD. The other new element is the D&D insider combining Dragon and Dungeon online in a digital format, not only that you can play the game with old friends and new friends anywhere in the world with the digital table top. This is not the end of pen and paper D&D people will still be able to play in their kitchen or dens just like usual. I find both to be extremely exciting. For those people who want to know more about D&D insider read this, I also included more questions and answers link.
