Sussur Dagger
Could anyone who crafted it confirm or deny that Silence doesnt work when the dagger is thrown?

Magical effect on weapons - any weapon when thrown WILL NOT WORK - it's not a bug. You're THROWING the weapon, not actually using the weapon.

The only exception is the Trident Nyula that returns to wielder's hand and its magical effect is thunder damage + aoe thunder to nearby entities ally or not.

the lightning jabber applies lightning damage when thrown.

I used the surrur bark to make a sickle even though it's the worst choice, simply because it was edge-ier, and because there isn't enough magic sickles.

is that what that dagger is called? I didn't make Sussar Dagger per se 1st playthrough.

And that's lighting damage you're talking about. OP say SILENCE which is a magical effect, a status, a debuff, whatever you want to specify it as - it is NOT A DAMAGE therefore throwing a weapon with said % to trigger a status should not work by default thus not a bug because the player IS NOT USING IT BUT RATHER THROWING IT.

Can confirm. When thrown, unless specifically stated in the weapon description, no weapon carries their unique effect / elemental damage.

But it has the thrown properties, It's meant to be thrown. It's not illogical to assume the effect still applies when it wasn't stated otherwise. The text says "silence target on hit" and the dude with my dagger on his head sure looks pretty hit

Honestly DnD 5e is terrible ruleset in general, but the logical acrobatics of trying to justify that SOMEHOW dealing damage with magical weapon by throwing it, ie you know... basically striking target the same way you would strike it at melee if you arent dumb, doesnt apply magical effect but perfectly same way of applying damage via cut and stab up close and personal does... thats beyond stupid. Thats asylum territory.

I threw it and it was gone. After the fight I was unable to pick it up or find it despite looking thoroughly.

I do think this is a bug, since weapons with the thrown property and +X don't even get the bonuses, and per the rules for how weapon attacks work there is nothing specified about it being not thrown.
