Rush AttackThe Watcher's Guide is one of the Simple Versatile Weapons in Baldur's Gate 3. 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 a special Actions while holding it.
Time has dampened this spear's sheen, but the centre glows a faint blue. The magic it exudes feels old, terrible... and divine. The spear was given to its previous owner for his unerring loyalty - even after death.

Does anyone know if this a cursed item? One of my characters keeps gaining the effects of Death Promise even when the spear is no longer in my inventory. Is it intended or is it a bug?
I made some calculations to estimate the real chance to hit with this weapons and others with the same kind of effect.
25% becomes 39%, 40% becomes 55%, 50% becomes 62,5%, 65% becomes 73%, 75% becomes 79%, 85% becomes 87%. You can see the diminishing returns the easier to hit the target but overall it's like having +2 to hit in most cases. Keep in mind that a +1 weapon deals more damage overall than one with this enchantment if your chance to hit is 55% or more, which I'm pretty sure is most of the time.
