[Rise of the Kaiju] Kanabolt (Patreon)

Kanabolt

Weapon (greatclub or maul), rare

Component: Elemental (raiju) volatile mote of air

The sudden discharges of lightning that dance between this weapon’s spikes occur less frequently after it’s used in combat, as if the crackling energy within is appeased by the thrill of competition. Kanabolt wielders sporting a multitude of electrical burns are thus seen as timid and cowardly, unwilling or incapable of fulfilling their weapon’s purpose.

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

Cascading Discharge. When you hit a creature with an attack using this weapon, you can expend 1 charge to send a jolt of electricity through the creature’s body, dealing an extra 2d6 lightning damage to it. A bolt of lightning then arcs from that creature to another creature of your choice that you can see within 15 feet of it, which must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 2d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Additionally, on a failed save, this process repeats itself, sending another bolt at a different creature within 15 feet of the one that failed its save. The lightning can cascade to a maximum of two creatures beyond the original target of the attack, and a creature that has taken lightning damage from this property can’t be affected by it again until the start of your next turn.

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

Uncommon variant: Reduce the DC to 13 and the charges to 3. The lightning created by the Cascading Discharge property can only cascade to a maximum of one creature beyond the original target of the attack.

Very rare variant: Increase the DC to 16. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

Legendary variant: Increase the DC to 17. You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. The lightning created by the Cascading Discharge property can cascade to a maximum of three creatures beyond the original target of the attack.
