# Kai, the Virtuous Phurba The history behind Kai, the Virtuous Phurba, has long been lost, though it is commonly assumed to be the creation of a conclave of human magic-users -- likely during a time of great war between the living and the undead. A handful of these sentient weapons have been found throughout the region. Were they rare in number, used by a small group of heroes? Or a standard issue weapon for the armies of good, with many more still hidden throughout the world? ``` ```

If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon.
