Description
This weapon resembles a thick, living vine bound around a staff of hardened bark, with jagged thorns sprouting along its length. At its end, the vine unravels into a lash-like extension, capable of slashing, tripping, or binding foes. The weapon pulses faintly with druidic energy and grows small leaves that wither when the weapon deals damage.
Special: Thornlash Techniques
When you hit a creature with the Thornlash Glaive, you can choose one of the following effects (you must declare before damage is rolled):
Slash (Default): Deals 1d10 slashing damage.
Trip: Instead of damage, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + Strength or Dexterity modifier) or be knocked prone.
Grapple: Instead of damage, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (same DC) or become grappled (escape DC same as above). While grappling a creature, you cannot attack with the glaive again until the grapple ends.
Proficiency with a Glaive allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
This weapon has the following mastery property. To use this property, you must have a feature that lets you use it.
Graze. If your attack roll with this weapon misses a creature, you can deal damage to that creature equal to the ability modifier you used to make the attack roll. This damage is the same type dealt by the weapon, and the damage can be increased only by increasing the ability modifier.
Notes: If attuned, the Thornlash Glaive has the following additional feature: Once per long rest, as a bonus action, you can command the vine to grow and extend unnaturally. Until the start of your next turn, the weapon’s Reach increases to 20 feet., Heavy, Reach, Two-Handed, Graze
