[12 Days of Giftmas] Winter Wondergarland (Patreon)

Winter Wondergarland

Weapon (whip), uncommon (requires attunement)

Component: pouch of plant leaves

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, and with the power of this seasonal whip, you can make it frightful inside as well. Crackling with electricity from a plethora of short-circuiting lights and covered with crusty fake snow, this flexible weapon can be used both as a last-resort Giftmas decoration and a festive implement of death!

Due to its sharp pine needles, this whip deals piercing damage instead of slashing damage.

Thundersnow. As an action, you can crack the whip at a spot you can see within 10 feet of you, causing an unusual storm to form in a 20-foot radius sphere centred on that point. Pick up to two of the options below. Each creature other than you in the area must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, suffering the effects of the options chosen.

• Thunder. A thunderous boom echoes through the area. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d6 thunder damage and is deafened until the start of your next turn. On a successful one, it takes half as much damage and isn’t deafened.
• Snow. Frigid snow whips around in the area. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d6 cold damage and its speed is halved until the start of your next turn. On a successful one, it takes half as much damage and its speed isn’t reduced.
• Lightning. Bolts of lightning arc erratically through the area. A creature takes 2d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Creatures made of metal or wearing metal armour have disadvantage on the saving throw.
• Hail. Large hailstones rain down from the sky in the area. A creature takes 4d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

This property of the whip can be used twice, regaining all expended uses daily at dawn.
