Valor [CARDS] (Patreon)

Weapon (battleaxe), legendary (requires attunement)

A runed, amber-edged battleaxe with a haft hewn from the petrified branch of the World Tree. The branch was felled by the attack of the God of the Storm, imbuing it with divine lightning. You gain a bonus to your attack and damage rolls equal to half your proficiency modifier rounded down when you attack with this magic weapon. This weapon has the thrown property (range 30/60). When you make a ranged weapon attack with this weapon it returns to your hand immediately. This weapon has a number of charges equal to twice your proficiency bonus and regains all charges after a long rest.

Bifrost Crash. When you make a ranged weapon attack with this weapon, hit or miss, you can spend up to 3 charges to teleport within 5 feet of the attack’s target with this weapon in hand. When you do, each other creature within 20 feet of you must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 1d6 thunder damage and 1d6 lightning damage per charge spent, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Glorious Death. If you take damage that reduces you to 0 hit points and doesn't kill you outright while holding this weapon, you can use your reaction to summon terrible strength and immediately take an extra turn, interrupting the current turn. During this turn the only action you can take is the attack action, and all your melee weapon attacks are made with advantage. When the extra turn ends, you fall unconscious. Once you use this property, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Curse: Valhalla. When you die, your spirit is welcomed into the hall of heroes to enjoy eternal revelry. If a creature attempts to revive you, a Valkyrie warrior appears to safeguard your soul, interrupting the spell or ability before you are revived (use the Deva stat block). The Valkyrie appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the creature attempting to revive you and seeks to kill them in order to keep your soul in its rightful place. If the Valkyrie kills the creature attempting to revive you it vanishes. Once the Valkyrie is reduced to 0 hit points it vanishes and your spirit returns to your physical form, the spell or ability resolving as normal.

Imbued with the power of the Storm God himself, fallen from the skies beyond reach and unmatched in its capacity for destruction. Only those deemed worthy to wield such power may grasp its steel and deliver unto our foes such carnage and ferocity that their ranks buckle with every swing. And though many have fallen with it in hand, ask thineself: is it not glorious to take weapon in stride and conviction in heart, to die soaked in dirt and blood and prove yourself worthy of immortality? Sing brothers, sing.
