Unseemly Sabre [CARD] (Patreon)

Weapon (scimitar), uncommon

The cold iron of this blade emanates an eerie hostility. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. While a Fey creature is within 10 feet of you the blade of this weapon glows with iridescent light.

Sting of Iron. When you hit a Fey creature with this weapon the target takes an additional 1d6 necrotic damage. Additionally, if the Fey’s appearance is altered or their body is transformed, it must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure the illusion or transformation ends.

The effect of iron upon the faeries of old is no mystery, even children are taught how the metal brings pain to beings that find their homes in the eternal woods. But for one to weaponize this weakness against them is an act of pure malevolence, devoid of any sympathy or care for such creatures. Who could have birthed this twisted brand, forged in ironically natural elegance as if to mock those who cling to the woods for safety and comfort? What machinations are afoot, and who has put them in motion?
