Claw of Dragonheart - Magic Item (Patreon)

🐉✨🖐️The greatest elven smiths of Eldoria, were approached by a group of brave dragon slayers. They bore with them the heart of an ancient dragon, its power still palpable even in death. With reverence and a touch of sorrow for the majestic creature that once was, they sought to forge an artifact that would encapsulate the essence of the fallen beast.

The process was neither swift nor easy. By the silvery glow of the moon, and with the hum of ancient elven songs filling the air, molten metal was poured, then cooled with water from the purest elven springs. The heart's energy was channeled, infusing the molten metal with the dragon's essence. The forge fires, stoked with elven wood and enchanted herbs, burned bright as stars, their heat only rivaled by the dragon's breath itself.

And so, over countless nights, the Claw of Dragonheart took shape. A gauntlet not just of metal, but of history and power. The patterns on it, resembling dragon scales, shimmered with a life of their own, and its tips were as sharp as a dragon's talon. 🐉✨🖐️

Claw of Dragonheart

Wondrous item, legendary

This ornate gauntlet is made of a blend of dragon scales and arcane-infused metals. It is telling tales of an ancient dragon whose heart was used in its forging.

While wearing the gauntlet, you can use your action to make a melee attack with the claw. This attack deals 2d6 slashing damage + your Strength modifier on a hit and is considered magical.

If at least two d6s roll a result of 5 or higher when dealing damage with the claw attack, or if you score a critical hit with it, you may immediately use your bonus action to make another attack with the claw. This bonus attack is made with advantage and has a critical hit range of 19-20.

Optional Attunement. If you are attuned to the Claw of Dragonheart and land a critical hit with it, the might of the ancient dragon courses through you. Your Strength score becomes 27, lasting until the end of your next turn. You also choose and gain resistance to one of the following damage types until the end of your next turn: fire, cold, lightning, poison, or acid.

Awakening the Claw. Once per day when you land a critical hit with both the initial and bonus attacks using the Claw of Dragonheart, the claw awakens for 1 minute. While awakened, you can make unarmed strikes with the claw, using its melee attack statistics. These attacks are made with advantage and have a critical hit range of 19-20. Additionally, you gain one use of legendary resistance. If you fail a saving throw while the claw is awakened, you can choose to succeed instead, expending the use of this resistance.
