[Dawn of the Yokai] Orochi Katana (Patreon)

Orochi Katana

Weapon (any sword), uncommon

Component: pouch of dragon scales

Crafted from the scales of a serpentine dragon, this fascinating weapon represents rebirth and transformation, endlessly renewing itself to remain deadly to its foes. Its razor-sharp blade will never dull, and neither shall the resolve and fighting spirit of its wielder.

This weapon has 4 charges and regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn.

Renewal. As a bonus action, you can expend 1 charge to cause the sword to shed its outer layer, revealing a new, sharp blade underneath. Until the end of your turn, you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this sword, and it deals an extra 1d6 damage on a hit.

Rebirth. If you are suffering from a condition or effect that allows you to make a saving throw at the start or end of each of your turns to end it, you can use a bonus action to expend 3 charges and shed the outer layer of your skin, repeating the saving throw.

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

Rare variant: Increase the charges to 5, the recharge to 1d4 + 1, the attack and damage bonus to +2, and the damage to 2d6. Reduce the charges required to use the Rebirth property to 2.

Very rare variant: Increase the charges to 5, the recharge to 1d4 + 1, the attack and damage bonus to +3, and the damage to 3d6. Reduce the charges required to use the Rebirth property to 2. You have advantage on the saving throw you make as part of the Rebirth property.
