Doesn't beat this:

     It poisons you from time to time.
     It paralyses you every now and then.
     It occasionally summons an undead.
     It makes your weapon attack you.
     Cannot be harmed by acid, fire.
     Grants the ability to see invisible things. Blessed by the gods. Prevents
     teleportation.

     Combat info:
     1.0 blow/round.
     With +4 STR and +0 DEX you would attack a bit faster.
     With +13 STR and +0 DEX you would get 1.1 blows/round.
     With +0 STR and +6 DEX you would attack a bit faster.
     With +4 STR and +6 DEX you would get 1.1 blows/round.
     With +0 STR and +9 DEX you would get 1.1 blows/round.
     Average damage/round: 3.

And it has been BLESSED by the gods! Imagine what would this be, if they decided to CURSE it...
