Rooster Wing Javelin [CARD] (Patreon)

Weapon (javelin), legendary (requires attunement)

A javelin with a head shaped like that of a rooster.

You gain +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon and it returns to your hand immediately after it is used to make a ranged attack. While attuned to this weapon you always know the number of hours left before the next sunrise and the weapon gains the following properties:

Furious Pecking. If you hit a creature with a ranged attack with this weapon, you can speak the command word to cause it to fly. At the start of each of your turns this weapon homes in on the same target, making a free attack against them (no action required). The javelin uses your attack roll and ability score bonus to damage rolls. This effect persists until you spend a bonus action to recall the javelin or the creature dies, at which point the javelin flies 60 feet back to you on each turn until it returns to your hand. If you have no hands free, it falls to the ground within 5 feet of you. This effect also ends if you are knocked unconscious. The targeted creature may spend their action to try and catch the javelin on their turn by making an DC 20 dexterity check, which ends the effect on a success.

Soaring Rooster. While you are attuned to this weapon, you gain the ability to fly while holding or standing on top of the Javelin. Your fly speed is equal to your walking speed + 10 feet.

The proud rooster head is more than mere decoration upon this spear. With the ferocity of an angered bird, this weapon shall relentlessly chase your foes to the ends of the earth. Become as free as the wind, flitting about the battlefield just out of reach as you rain destruction down upon the land. A painful lesson awaits for those who underestimate the humble rooster.
