Back to Main Page → 5e Homebrew → Equipment → Sentient Items

Weapon (broadsword), very rare (requires attunement by a creature with proficiency in Charisma (Persuasion)) Neekar is a sentient blade highly prized by diplomats and politicians. Throughout the ages it has appeared in the treasuries of noble houses, lost in duels with rival nobles, and bought and sold as the families fall in and out of favour. Neekar is a steel broadsword with a plain silver pommel and an ivory scabbard. It sheds no light and does not grant a bonus to attack or damage rolls. It grants the following property. Comprehend Languages. While you hold the weapon, you gain the benefits the comprehend languages spell (PHB p. 224). Sentience. Neekar is a sentient lawful neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 16, Wisdom of 10 and Charisma 16. It is proficient in Charisma (Pursuasion). It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. The weapon can speak, read and understand Common; and can speak and understand Dwarvish, Elvish, Giant, Gnomish, Goblin, Halfling and Orc. Personality. The weapon was meant to be an inconspicuous aide in politics and is indeed a shrewd negotiator. It has a history of participation in delicate treaties that it is quite proud of, and the sword is often willing to parley on behalf of its wielder for even trivial matters. A conflict will occur if the wielder becomes hostile towards a group or individual, if diplomacy was possible but ignored.
