This greataxe has a shaft of gleaming platinum, on top of which sits an intricately forged axe head. One half of this head is the muddy grey colour of patinated zinc, inscribed with the archaic Dwarven rune for Loss. The other half is gleaming polished iron, inscribed with the rune for Love in that same ancient language.
Dormant
The greataxe grants the following benefits in its dormant state:
- You can speak, read, and write Celestial.
- You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.
- While holding the greataxe, you can use a reaction to speak its Celestial command word, causing you to share some of your allies pain. Whenever an ally within 30ft of you takes damage you may use this reaction to reduce that damage by 1d10 plus your constitution modifier. You then take the that same amount of damage in radiant damage. This damage cannot be reduced or resisted in any way. You may use this reaction once per short rest.
Awakened
When the greataxe reaches an awakened state, it gains the following properties:
- The weapon’s bonus to attack and damage rolls increases to +2, and the damage reduction feature increases to 2d10.
- You may use this axe's second command word to put yourself completely in the line of fire in the place of an ally. Whenever an ally within 60ft of you is the target of an attack or harmful effect, you may use your reaction to teleport to their location, causing them to teleport to yours. The attack or harmful effect is then directed at you. You must use this effect before it is declared if the attack or harmful effect hits or not. You may use this feature once per long rest.
Exalted
When the greataxe reaches an exalted state, it gains the following properties:
- The weapon’s bonus to attack and damage rolls increases to +3, and the damage reduction feature increases to 3d10.
- You may use a reaction to speak the third and final command word of this greataxe to potentially give your life for another. When a creature within 150ft of you would roll a death saving throw, you may use your reaction to automatically make that roll a 20. When you do so, you instantly drop to 0 hit points, and instantly fail two death saving throws. You may use this feature once per long rest.
Proficiency with a Greataxe 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.
Cleave. If you hit a creature with a melee attack roll using this weapon, you can make a melee attack roll with the weapon against a second creature within 5 feet of the first that is also within your reach. On a hit, the second creature takes the weapon’s damage, but don’t add your ability modifier to that damage unless that modifier is negative. You can make this extra attack only once per turn.
