[Swordtember] Day 25 - Coward's Bane! (Patreon)

Coward’s Bane

Weapon (any sword), rare (requires attunement)

Component: beast (bear) pelt

The bear warriors of the northern reaches are famed for their brutality and relentlessness, refusing to accept the surrender of their enemies. They consider it an unforgivable insult to be fled from, and use blades imbued with the blessing of their patron beast to deliver harsh punishment to any foolish enough to mock them in this manner.

This weapon has 3 charges and regains all expended charges daily at dawn.

Brutal Wounds. When you hit a creature with an attack using this weapon, you can spend 1 charge to inflict a grievous wound upon it. Whenever a wounded creature takes an action, bonus action, or reaction, or the first time on its turn that it uses any movement, it takes 1d6 necrotic damage. The wounded creature or another creature within 5 feet of it can take an action to make a DC 15 Wisdom (Medicine) check, ending the effect of the wound on a success. If the wounded creature regains 5 or more hit points from a single source, the wound is also healed. A wounded creature can’t be wounded again.
