Felling Greataxe

Description

A massive two-handed axe of dark iron, a faint ring-grain running through the blade as if the steel had grown like a tree. The haft is wrapped in cracked leather worn smooth by generations, and it smells faintly of pine even in deep winter.

A relic of Age III — the Dark Ages.

Abilities

As a weapon: Magic greataxe — 2d6+STR Slashing, 2-handed (Req. 2 STR).

Spectral Fell (1/day): As an action, speak the command word. A spectral tree crashes down in a line 12 spaces long and 1 space wide. Creatures in the line make a DC 13 DEX save — on a failure, 3d6 Bludgeoning damage and knocked Prone; on a success, half damage and no Prone. Recharges at dawn.

Woodcutter’s Edge (passive): Advantage on checks to chop down trees.

Leveling: The Spectral Fell save DC rises as you grow — DC 14 at Level 8, DC 15 at Level 10, DC 16 at Level 12, and onward.

Disposition

Recovered at the defense of Family Valdieri during Session 2, and among the four relics the family donated to the Guild in thanks. Its properties were analyzed by Nyla Vexorian, the Guild Seer, back at Hearth. Currently carried by Vorik Snowrend.
