Sword of LifeStealing (5e) description is wrong

The compendium item Sword of LifeStealing (<a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Sword%20of%20Life%20Stealing#content" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Sword%20of%20Life%20Stealing#content</a>)&nbsp; &nbsp;says when you roll a 20 on a hit with the weapon it deals 3d6 extra necrotic damage - this is not accurate. The DMG and the SRD were updated to show this as a flat 10 necrotic damage a long time ago.&nbsp; The D&amp;D beyond entry is here:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/sword-of-life-stealing" rel="nofollow">https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/sword-of-life-stealing</a>
Thanks Brad, I have passed this along :)

Actually the SRD (which is not an official source) still says 3d6. D&amp;D Beyond says 10. The DMG (at least my older copy) also says 10, but the Sword of Life Stealing is not in the official errata documents, not is it listed in the Basic Rules. At this point, Roll20 has not released or converted a version of the DMG. The magic item listed in the Compendium is from the SRD and correctly reflects that document.
