Vowedge (5e Equipment)

Back to Main Page → 5e Homebrew → Equipment → Magic Weapons

Weapon (longsword), very rare (requires attunement) When you swing your blade in any direction, it whispers an echo in Elvish, "Death to the traitorous." When you use this weapon to make a melee attack, you can, as a command phrase, say, "Death to whoever seeks to betray me." The target of your attack becomes your sworn enemy until it dies or until dawn seven days later. You can have only one such sworn enemy at a time. When your sworn enemy dies, you can choose a new one after the next dawn. When you make a melee attack roll with this weapon against your sworn enemy, you have advantage on the roll. In addition, your target gains no benefit from a shield or parry, and you ignore any resistance against the type of damage dealt by this weapon. If the attack hits, your sworn enemy takes an extra 2d8 slashing damage. While your sworn enemy lives, you have disadvantage on attack rolls with all other weapons.
