Soloist's Harpblade [CARD] (Patreon)

Weapon (shortsword), rare (requires attunement by a bard)

Stand out from the competition. Show them how a true artist gets things done. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

Showboat. When you make an attack with this magic weapon you can use your bonus action to add one Bardic Inspiration die to the attack and damage rolls. You can wait until after you make your attack roll before choosing to use this feature, but you must decide before the DM says whether the attack roll succeeds or fails.

Critique. You gain access to the Vicious Mockery cantrip while attuned to this weapon. If you already have the Vicious Mockery cantrip, you can alternatively choose another cantrip from the bard spell list to gain access to. When you cast Vicious Mockery while attuned to this weapon you can spend a Bardic Inspiration die to subtract the number rolled from the target's saving throw.

Antoni van Starsong was surrounded by mediocrity (or so they claimed). All around them bumbling oafs and half-wits who couldn't hold a candle to their talent (or so they believed). Tired of playing up their (allegedly) incompetent comrades for the umpteenth time, Antoni had finally seen enough. Harp in hand they rushed into battle themselves, a veritable symphony of music and bloodshed that whirled across the battlefield, tearing into both their opponents bodies and self-esteem all the while (or so they said). From that day forth Antoni was never far from their trusty harp, a legend unto itself with its own penchant for battle and egotism rivalling its masters.
