[Swordtember 2024] Maelstrom's Eye (Patreon)

Maelstrom's Eye

Weapon (any sword), uncommon (requires attunement)

Component: Elemental volatile mote of water

The Plane of Water threatens to spill out from the jewel of this blade, which rumbles with the sound of crashing waves. Staring into the rift-gem, one can see pearlescent palaces, sleep-swimming krakens, and the occasional lost ship of mortals desperately searching for a portal back home. 

This weapon has 3 charges and regains all expended charges daily at dawn. It deals bludgeoning damage instead of its normal damage type.

Amorphous Attacks. When you attack with this weapon, the attack ignores half cover and three-quarters cover, provided there is a space at least 1 inch wide that the watery blade can fit through between you and the target. 

Splash Zone. As a bonus action while wielding this weapon, you can expend 1 charge to release a torrent of water. Each creature of your choice within 10 feet of you must make a DC 13 Strength saving throw, taking 2d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failure, a creature is also knocked prone or pushed horizontally 10 feet away (your choice). 

---------------------------------------

Rare variant: Increase the DC to 15 and the damage to 4d6.
