Octavius' Saber
Weapon (rapier), legendary (requires attunement by a rogue)
The swirling guard of this powerful blade is a mesh of floral and serpentine sculpture. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. When you deal Sneak Attack damage with an attack using this weapon, you treat any 1 on a Sneak Attack damage die as an 8.
He swung the blade with a grace and beauty that belied its lethality. These were the movements of a snake coming in for the kill, paralyzing its prey with its entrancing motions. The blade would leap, bite, and rend as if it had a mind of its own: the instinct of a cunning predator, at its finest.

Had a DM who homebrewed an item like that, minus the treating 1 as an 8, in a campaign. lvl9 rogue did a 80+ crit sneak attack. We were pivoting our fight strategies to let the rogue get his sneak attack. DM made it available from level 5 and it wasn't even that rare. And he even made it use d10's later xD Sadly we didn't play much longer after that, didn't get to see how ridiculous it got. What I'm saying is, this is a great item.
Ok. This is going on the 100 for every rogue's random treasure generator...the absolute perfect reward!
is a one treated as an 8 correct or was that a typeo
