Diese auf den ersten Blick unauffällig aussehende Klinge schwarz, bei genauerem Hinsehen ist es aber ein sehr dunkles rot. Wenn es aus der Scheide gezogen wird, werden kleine Spuren von dunkler Energie sichtbar. Der Griff ist mit einem einzigen, dunklen Kristall verziert.
Weapon (longsword), Artifact (requires attunement)
_When used in battle the Blood Blade adds +3 to Attack and Damage rolls. However this sword has the following properties:
-
_Blood Sacrifice. Once attuned the wielder must sacrificed part of its own vitality. To achieve this your hit point maximum is reduced by 3 per character level when you attune to this weapon. This loss is permanent, even if they subsequently give up or lose the Blood Blade. Whenever you gain a new character level, you lose additional 3 hit points.
-
Holy Bane. Any Good character will feel a sting of pain when holding the weapon, and will suffer 1d4 necrotic damage at the start of each turn it is holding the weapon. Attacks against good aligned creatures will also cause additional 1d4 necrotic damage.
-
_Blood Leech. Each time you hit a living creature you cause additional 3 necrotic damage and regain 3 hit points. If you hit an undead with this weapon, you take 1d4 necrotic damage and the undead regains that amount of hit points. In addition, any Critical Hit on a living creature will allow the wielder to immediately regain lost hit points equal to the damage done.
This dull-looking blade appears black, but on closer inspection is actually very dark red. When drawn from the scabbard small traces of dark energy wisp around the blade. The handle is adorned with a single black crystal.
This blade radiates dark magic. Inside the crystal is trapped the cursed soul of a powerful vampire. He will give the wielder great powers, but at a price.
