Impaler’s Greatspear

Weapon (pike), rare (requires attunement)

Component: Fiend (demon) soul

Forged for holy war and tempered in the blood of the impious, these pikes yearn to rend the flesh of those mad enough to defy the goddess. Their points are jagged and they burn hot with blackened fire, ensuring that all those they pierce meet their end in the embrace of the impaler’s flame.

This weapon has the Thrown property, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. As a bonus action while it’s within 60 feet of you, you can cause it to dissolve into flame and reappear in your hand.

Blackflame Infusion. As a bonus action while holding this weapon, you can charge it with dark fire, causing it to explode the next time you use it to make a ranged weapon attack before the end of your turn. Hit or miss, the target and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 fire damage.

Impaler’s Assault. As an action while holding this weapon, you can drive it into the ground, causing multiple flaming pikes to erupt from the ground around you, then vanish into wisps of fire. Each creature within 10 feet of you must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d8 piercing damage and 3d8 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Once this property of the weapon has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
