Sword (EM)

See also Table S: Weapons (EM).

All magical swords are listed with a plus or minus (for example, a sword +1 or a cursed sword -1). The number is the amount added to or subtracted from the result of the attack roll and to the damage done. (Example: A sword +1 would adjust a roll of 17 to 18, and if 5 points of damage were rolled, 6 would actually be inflicted.) Once a cursed weapon is used in battle, it may not be gotten rid of except by use of a remove curse or dispel magic spell.

Some magic swords have additional abilities or

Intelligence: For example, a sword +1/+2 vs. lycanthropes would give a bonus of +2 on attack and damage rolls (instead of the normal +1) when used against any werecreatures. All other abilities are listed in the descriptions.
