[The Dire Rabbit] Osseous Spike (Patreon)

Weapon (lance), rare (requires attunement)

The essence of the malicious Bonemonger always hungers for more victims, and this craving persists even after death. Those who hold this jagged lance can feel its insatiable desire to be bathed in blood, and see shadowy claws crawl across its surface when it has gone too long without…

This lance has 3 charges and regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.

Syphoning Splinters. When you hit a creature with an attack using this lance, you can expend 1 charge to cause the tip of the lance to explode into sharp splinters; the creature must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 4d4 piercing damage and some of the splinters are embedded inside of it for 1 minute. On a success, the creature takes half as much damage and suffers no additional effects. A creature with splinters inside of it takes 2d4 necrotic damage at the end of each of its turns, and you regain hit points equal to half the necrotic damage dealt this way as the splinters syphon the victim’s vitality into you.

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

Very Rare variant: Increase the save DC to 16, the charges to 4, and the recharge to 1d4. The item has the Impaling Pull property.

Crippling Impalement. As an action while holding this lance, you can cause its shadowy hands to extend and try to grab a creature that you can see within 20 feet of you, forcing it to make a DC 16 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is seized by the hands, pulled to within 5 feet of you, and has an arm or leg (your choice) skewered by the lance, taking 6d4 piercing damage. The shadowy hands then release the creature. Until the end of its next turn, the creature has disadvantage on attack rolls made with the use of its arms if you skewered its arm, or has its speed reduced to 0 if you skewered its leg. Once this property of the lance has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
