Destined Death

Weapon (any sword or dagger), rare

Component: Undead undying heart

Crafted to bring death to the very gods… favoured by cabals of shadowy assassins… jealously guarded by brooding monsters in lost, crumbling cities… Jagged as they may be, these weapons are undeniably edgy—you’re just as likely to cut yourself on their backstory as you are on their blades.

Deathbrand. When you roll a 20 on your attack roll with this magic weapon against a creature, the creature is marked with a deathbrand for 1 minute. While deathbranded, it can’t regain hit points, and it takes an extra 1d6 necrotic damage whenever it’s hit by a weapon attack. In addition, if a creature dies while marked in this way, it can’t be brought back to life by any means short of a true resurrection spell or similar magic. A deathbranded creature can make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the deathbrand on itself on a success.

The End. As an action while holding this weapon, you can unleash a series of slashes all around you. Each creature of your choice within 10 feet of you must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d6 slashing damage and is marked as per the Deathbrand property until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn’t marked. Once this property of the weapon has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

---------------------------------------

Uncommon variant: Reduce the damage of the Deathbrand property to 1d4 and the DC to 13. The weapon doesn’t have the The End property.

Very rare variant: Increase the damage of the Deathbrand property to 1d10, the damage of the The End property to 4d10, and the DCs to 16.
