Blade of the First Blood is one of the Dagger Weapons in Baldur's Gate 3. Blade of the First Blood is obtained together with the Crimson Mischief which is the weapon that Orin is wielding with her other hand. 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 Lord of Murder wasn't always a lord. He was once just a petty killer. When Bhaal first drew blood in a Baldurian back-alley, it dropped to the ground and lingered. When he ascended, this dried blood-drop grew, warped - and became sharp.

This and the dagger 'bloodthirst' seem to be two different pages for the same item. They have the exact same effects and flavor description.

So... It was a bound weapon, Fitnesse but without thrown property? I guess the thrown damage is based on weight?
give this to someone who isnt your rogue, run up and poke the enemy to give them vulnerability to pierce. then have your rogue sneak attack
