[Swordtember] Day 20! The Honeycomb!!! (It makes us feel hungry too) (Patreon)
Content
Honeycomb
Weapon (any sword), rare (requires attunement)
Component: beast (giant wasp) wings
The intricate waxen tunnels of this sword’s hilt are home to a swarm of industrious bees, which toil away relentlessly to produce sweet, magical honey. The sword vibrates with the indignant buzz of these loyal insects whenever it’s held by anyone other than its rightful owner.
This sword has 4 charges and regains all expended charges daily at dawn.
Honey Coating. As an action while holding this sword, you can spend 1 charge to launch a spray of sticky honey in a 20-foot cone. Each creature in the area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be covered in honey until the end of its next turn, when the honey breaks down. A creature covered in honey has disadvantage on attack rolls and Dexterity saving throws, and has its speed halved.
Sugar Rush. While holding this sword, you can spend 1 charge to cast the sugar rush spell. When you cast the spell in this manner, it has a range of touch, as you feed some of the sword’s honey to the target.
