The last normal unique sword, The Patriarch is a hulking sword that's purely offensive in nature. The Patriarch has the ability to blind targets, effectively having the same effect as Dim Vision. Although not of much use at close range, it can be used to blind ranged attackers and then escape, without having to worry about their shots. Strangely enough, The Patriarch also gives a very large boost to the amount of gold dropped by monsters. When compounded with the effects of charms and armor such as Goldskin, a character can get very large amounts of gold, simply dropped by monsters.
