This +2 magic weapon personifies the spirit (Daimona in some cultures) of the death-mist. Upon any strike with the Morningstar, a small cloud of dark decay can be visually perceived (Perception check DC 13) emanating from the head of the weapon. On a successful attack the mist does an extra 1d8 necrotic damage. Additionally, the target must succeed on a DC15 Constitution saving throw or become Poisoned for up to one minute. While it is affected in this way, the creature suffers disadvantage on all its attack and ability checks.

At the end its turn an affected creature may make subsequent DC15 Constitution saving throws to end the Poisoned condition. If a creature uses their action wiping and cleansing themselves (or cast the cantrip Prestidigitation) from the decaying particles they remove the Poisoned condition.

Creatures resistant or immune to poison damage types are both considered immune to this weapon’s Poisoned effect.

If the wielder of this weapon takes any form of Radiant damage then the magic Morningstar loses its extra necrotic damage component and its ability to inflict the Poisoned until the end of the wielder's next turn. It is still a magic +2 weapon.

After the attuned wielder has this weapon in their possession for one week, they gain resistance to Poison damage. If they unattune they immediately lose this resistance. If they already have resistance to Poison (e.g., Dwarven Resilience) then they gain no further resistance.

Proficiency with a Morningstar allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
