Hi, I would like to make a new weapon like the Murderous Cut from BG3. It has the attribute of adding a d4 of piercing damage to targets below 50% health. Obviously, there is no way to check enemy hp automaticity, but I wonder if it is possible to add another damage die to an existing weapon.
The final Dagger should have the following damage: 1d4 + DEX mod + 1d4, so a total of 2d4 + DEX mod
Is this possible? If so, what do I have to change?
On your sheet? Yes, kinda. Make a separate custom action for it.
