King's Triumph (Patreon)

Weapon (mace), legendary (requires attunement)

A deadly weapon and symbol of royal authority. You gain +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

Checkmate. Once per day while holding this weapon you can use a bonus action to bolster your abilities for one minute. While this feature is active you gain the following properties:

• You are resistant to nonmagical piercing, bludgeoning and slashing damage and you cannot be moved against your will.
• If you are within 5 feet of an allied creature you gain a +1 bonus to your AC to a maximum of +3 AC.
• The first time each turn you hit a creature with this weapon, the target must succeed a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or become stunned for one minute. A creature stunned by this ability makes another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to this feature for the next 24 hours.
• If you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. If you do so, this feature immediately ends. If the feature ends this way, you cannot move or take actions until after your next turn.

Stalemate. You don't have to win, you just have to make sure they lose. When you are reduced to 0 hit points by an attack, spell, or ability, you can choose to die instantly. This effect cannot be prevented in any way. When you do so, your body turns to dust and the creature that dealt you damage must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw. If you have proficiency with Dragonchess, the target makes their saving throw with disadvantage. On a failed save the creature takes 20d10 force damage or half as much damage on a successful save. If this damage reduces the creature to 50 hit points or fewer, it dies. If you use this ability you can only be returned to life through the True Resurrection spell.

Alone, out of both reach and harm, the king sits upon his throne of blood and bone. Many lay down their lives for the king, and when he does personally venture into the battle, innumerable forces rally around him to keep him from harm. His presence on the battlefield signals the coming end, and victory is all but assured one way or another.
