Each creature that deals piercing or slashing damage with a bladed weapon while within 30 feet of the naizu-ha must roll the damage twice and take the lower result.

Dagger Form (1/Day).

As a bonus action, the naizu-ha transforms into a magical dagger. A creature that wields the naizu-ha while it is in this form gains +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with the dagger, and attacks with the dagger score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. In addition, the wielder can’t take the Disengage action unless it succeeds on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw.

The naizu-ha can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Tripping Charge.
