The Shem Drowne sword is a unique revolutionary sword found in Fallout 4.
Characteristics
Targets take radiation damage, although less than a simple legendary sword with an Irradiated effect. However, the effect applies radiation damage from two sources - pure radiation damage of 5, as well as a three second radiation damage over time effect, behaving akin to a poison.

- The Pip-Boy interface sums up both the direct and the overtime damage, leaving no hint that part of the damage is dealt over time.
