So I am running a hogmebrew game with some friends of mine. I have a few years of experience running D&D/Pathfinder, but this is my first time running a large game completely home brewed in a homemade world. I gave my players a powerful Magic item and I want some advice on working out the kinks. The item is the night fang from the blight lore in the monster manual. It was created using the blood of an evil vampire.
It is a +2 druid focus that states that every time a player uses the nightfang to cast a spell, they must roll a d20. On a 3-6 the player suffers 1d6 necrotic damage. On a 1-3 they player takes 1 point of corruption. Each level of corruption unlocks another tier of the nighfang.
Tier 1 (1 point of corruption): on a 16-20 roll player regains 2d6 hit points from a near by enemy.
Tier 2: On a 10-15 roll player regains 1 spent spell slot
Tier 3: PC is vulnerable to raident damage. All damage delt while using the night fang is also necrotic damage.
Tier 4: PC changes alingment to evil. If PC would drop to 0 hit points, PC drops to 1hp instead.
Tier 5: PC becomes a vampire spawn
Does anyone have advice/experience creating an item of this sort?
