Warmind Wand (Patreon)

Wand, rare (requires attunement by a half-orc or orc)

This wand is made from the shattered hilt and jawbone of a defeated warband leader. It has 7 charges for the following properties and regains 1d6 + 1 expended each day at dawn. If you expend the wand's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand releases a small gasp of breath as its magic escapes it, leaving the wand a nonmagical and mundane sword hilt.

You can use the wand to command and bolster your allies using the following properties:

• Warband Strike. When you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your attacks and expend 1 charge as a bonus action to direct one of your allies to attack. When you do, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you. That creature can immediately use its reaction to make one weapon attack.

• Form Ranks. You can expend 1 charge as an action to bolster the resolve and command one of your allies to move to a more advantageous position. When you do, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you. That creature gains 2d4+2 temporary hit points and can use its reaction to move up to half its speed, without provoking opportunity attacks. Temporary hit points gained in this way fade after 1 minute.

• Forced Endurance. When a friendly creature other than you within 30 feet that can see and hear you is reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction and expend 2 charges to prevent that creature from falling unconscious and remain at 1 hit point instead. Once this property has been used on a creature, that creature can't benefit from it again until it completes a long rest.

• Unyielding Critical. When a friendly creature other than you within 30 feet that can see and hear you scores a critical hit, you can use your reaction and expend 1 charge to amplify the brutality of the attack and add an extra 2d4 damage to the total of the attack's damage roll.

"By the blood of our enemies that have come before you, we will strike you, and those that follow you, down! Your skulls will be our trophies, and we will take pride in your defeat! To arms!"
