The elven ranger's falchion is a potent magical weapon called Duran'daal. While not granting to-hit or attack bonuses, it is enchanted with healing magic. Any non-combat wounds that the ranger sustains while Duran'daal is in his possession heal after a few rounds. In addition, the sword has a mind of it's own, often making illusions appear to give him tips. Only the ranger can see these illusions, which could lead to some confusion later on.
