Shortsword has had every external component painted black as night. This allows this Shortsword to more easily blend into the shadows and darkness unseen.

Shortsword has been coated with a poison that can interfere with the body’s motor functions by targeting the muscles and nervous system. The affects can vary from the numbing, paralysis, or slowing of limbs to halting breathing and inducing seizures or sleep. The poison triggers on contact with the skin or bloodstream, with the most severe symptoms manifesting in the immediate area of the wound.
