Adaptive Axe

This handaxe is a conduit for elemental energy. During a short rest or long rest, you can attune the axe to a particular elemental type. You can choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. Each element changes the damage type of the axe and adds a special ability.

Special Abilities:

Acid: Each hit with this element has a chance to do bonus acid damage. When rolling damage for a hit, the creature hit must make a DC12 CON saving throw or take 1d8 extra acid damage.

Cold: The wielder can touch the top of any water-based liquid with the axe to instantly freeze it. The newly-frozen surface can be safely walked on by up to 8 medium creatures.

Fire: The wielder can use the edge of the axe to start a fire on any flammable surface. It takes 12 seconds (two turns) to catch unless it is oil, in which case it will catch instantly.

Lightning: Each hit with this element has a chance to stun. When rolling damage for a hit, the creature hit must make a DC 10 CON saving throw or be stunned. The DC is 14 if the creature is wet.

Thunder: Choosing this element grants the ability to cast Thaumaturgy at will.

 

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