The Blunt Instrument (Patreon)

Weapon (greatclub or maul), rare (requires attunement)

A large musical instrument reinforced and fitted to generate wondrous sound as well as bludgeon enemies. Versatile in the form it can take, one can be crafted as a number of different large instruments (dulcimer, bagpipes, drum, or horn). This weapon deals an additional 1d8 thunder damage on a hit. While attuned to this weapon you are considered proficient with the type of weapon it is.

Booming Noise. If you use this instrument as spellcasting focus to cast a spell that deals thunder damage, you can reroll any 1s rolled on the damage die. You must use the new roll. If you are proficient with the form of instrument of this weapon, anytime a spell you cast deals thunder damage to a creature, they must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, they are deafened for 1 minute.

Staub was never one to mince words, speaking plain and true at all times even to the disgruntlement of others. They saw no value in coddling and obfuscation of truth when being harsh and direct would suffice. Just as they carried themselves in life, so did Staub perform on stage; loud, brash, impossible to ignore. The only thing more memorable than the blaring notes that Staub could coax from their instrument was the sight of it bashing the skulls of unruly attendees into the dirt.
