⚔️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! 🗣️ Griff here: just a reminder that this was designed over a week ago, and its scheduled posting day here is entirely circumstantial. Tyrant’s End Weapon (greataxe), legendary (requires attunement) ___ This blade is a grisly guillotine, whose edge was used to put an end to the tyrants of a broken age. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon, which has the following properties. 𝙁𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙚. The blade of the axe is attached by a piece of its original rope. Once on each of your turns when you make an attack with the weapon, you can choose to fling the blade at a creature within 20 feet of you. Make a melee attack roll against the target. Hit or miss, the blade is then retracted back to the weapon immediately after the attack. If the target is no more than one size larger than you and you hit it, it is pulled with the blade to the nearest unoccupied space to you between you and the target. 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩. Within the blade is Simon Livoel, the spirit of a revolutionary warrior who built the original guillotine. You can use a bonus action to shout the weapon’s command phrase (“Down with tyranny!”) and summon the weapon’s spirit. Alternatively, the spirit appears in your space when you’re reduced to 0 hit points. He uses the veteran stat block with the following changes: he is undead, he has darkvision out to a range of 60 feet, this greataxe replaces his longsword (+8 to hit, 1d12 + 6 slashing damage), and he has no other weapons. For the duration, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and Simon takes the same amount of bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage as you. Simon can’t otherwise be targeted or harmed by any attack or effect. On your turn, you can use a bonus action to command Simon to attack a target within the greataxe’s range, using his statistics. If you’re incapacitated, he’ll attack the nearest creature that is hostile to you on his own. Simon remains until he’s reduced to 0 hit points, at which point this property can’t be used again until the next dawn. …Sentience and Personality continued in the IG comments! ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!
