Swordtember Day 2 - Despair
🕑 Added 2023-09-02 01:00:02 +0000 UTCCrying Crucible
Weapon (Longsword or greatsword), rare (requires attunement)
Found in a secret warehouse on the outskirts of Than Valdur's slum area, this macabre weapon is just one of many grotesque items crafted by a serial killer known as "The Bone Carver." This individual is notorious for murdering victims to use their bodies and souls as materials for their dark hobby: creating magical items. The weapon discovered in Than Valdur is the second of its kind to be found. According to a note left with the sword, it is named "Crying Crucible" and was crafted using the corpse and soul of a woman named Lilien Crows. Lilien fell victim to The Bone Carver's elaborate scheme, losing everything she had before ultimately being killed and transformed into this item in a state of absolute despair. Her soul remains bound to the sword, allowing the weapon to infect other creatures with waves of dark emotion.
You gain +1 bonus to attack and damage roll made using this weapon.
Echoes of Desolation. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with this weapon, the target takes an additional 1d6 psychic damage, and it must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you until the end of its next turn.
Tears of the Damned. Once per long rest, as an action, you can swing the Crying Crucible to release a torrent of dark energy in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in the area must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 2d8 necrotic damage and be blinded for 1 minute as their vision is filled with an image of the worst moment in their life. At the end of each of its turns, a creature can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Nevermind the description on the picture and the description in the actual post is different. Don't mind me!

So with the Tears of the Damned ability, it says they are blinded until the end of their next turn, but also says they can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns to end the effect on itself. So is this supposed to last multiple turns, or just until the end of their next turn?

thank you :D I was less confident with this one since I was stuck with how to convey despair, so i cheated a bit and make the ghost in somewhat despair pose XD
