Posted Dec 3, 2018An excellent concept, but I think the rarity is a little low. An enchantment of this power usually requires attunement, and is probably rare/very rare. The primary reasoning behind this judgment is the enchantment scales phenomenally well, and even more so for barbarians/fighters. At level 10, it would not be unreasonable for a barbarian/fighter to have 100hp, and then one hit with this does 1d4 + 2d6 + 31. Compared to a +1 greatsword with great weapon master being just 2d6 + 16, and this hit has a minus 5 penalty to hit whereas the attack with the dagger doesn't. Any character with one hp could also just stab something, use the sacrifice effect to pile on an obscene amount of damage while only taking effectively one damage in return. Just my two cents.

Posted Dec 5, 2018I recommend adding charges to the sacrifice damage say 3 per long rest as you have to account for short rests and healing reducing the negative trade off

Posted Mar 21, 2019Good work! I think it should be rare, instead of uncommon, but it’s a great idea! I love it!

Posted Mar 23, 2019It seems I can't edit my magic item, but the implication is the HP sacrificing effect can potentially kill the user

Posted Apr 24, 2019Just for laughs, a HalfOrc 16 lvl Barb 4 lvl Fighter with the tough feat and 20 Str and 20 Con. Rage, action surge, frenzy. Relentless endurance to get in that 5th hit. You average 443 damage, all from an uncommon item. Sounds a bit strong for an uncommon if you ask me. I do absolutely love this idea though, dont get me wrong. Maybe swap % for set d6s? Just a suggestion

Posted Jan 23, 2020I am a big fan of magic items that require some sort of sacrifice to use and this is a really cool idea. However, this seems strong for an Uncommon magic item. I don't think you need to add 2d6 to the damage increase. I think the sac'd hp is enough extra damage.
