Universal Sword: Frostburn

[*Pashan01]

A character of mine has recently acquired a lovely purple glowing sword with 'universal sword' as its type. I remember from some dim and distance thread that a sword like this used to have a bug on it?

What is a universal sword and is the bug that was, still existing? I don't want to pass on bugged goods.

Ta muchly

ps Frostburn is its name.

It's not bugged per-say, just that universal swords don't get any bonus for weapon focus feats and the like.

[*Mr_Otyugh]

Universal sword is type that isn't really any other type sword, easy and simple to wield by most, but can't specialize in it.

Thanks for the clarification
