Weapon (any sword), very rare (requires attunement)
You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.
The sword has 1d8 + 1 charges. If you score a critical hit against a creature that has fewer than 100 hit points, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be slain instantly as the sword tears its life force from its body (a construct or an undead is immune). The sword loses 1 charge if the creature is slain. When the sword has no charges remaining, it loses this property.
Applicable Weapons:
| Name | Type | Damage | Properties |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greatsword | Martial Melee | 2d6 slashing | Heavy, two-handed |
| Longsword | Martial Melee | 1d8 slashing | Versatile (1d10) |
| Rapier | Martial Melee | 1d8 piercing | Finesse |
| Scimitar | Martial Melee | 1d6 slashing | Finesse, light |
| Shortsword | Martial Melee | 1d6 piercing | Finesse, light |
Notes: Bonus: Magic, Damage, Combat, Versatile, Sap

Posted Jan 2, 2020No, at least the text does not indicate that it does. I imagine why it is a d8 +1 is because it steals nine lives, and it is not called the Perpetual Lives Stealer

Posted Sep 29, 2020Question for DMs, how many epic encounters you planned have been thwarted by this blade? I know its to creatures with less than 100 hit points, but I can see this having maximum troll potential and it scares me

Posted Jul 7, 2021Super necro here, but this is not a powerful effect. There are plenty of strong abilities that can instantly kill a creature below a certain HP threshhold. This one gives a save AND only happens on a critical hit. Parties at this level are doing far over 100 damage a round, so it's really not that potent unless it's in the hands of someone of low level,

Posted Oct 13, 2021I put this in my campaign recently and made it a plot hook. Yeah it killed a few enemies quickly but when the now undead creator of the sword took it back and drank the souls consumed in the sword my party lost their minds as the litch also gained the abilities of every creature that had its soul in the sword, there were 6 souls in their too, so it was a big fight, my party loved it.

Posted Nov 1, 2021Make the sword evolve once it has consumed all it's charges. Much more fun for a player and can open up new and interesting possibilities.

Posted Oct 12, 2022This seems like a weapon you'd want to keep stowed until you were ready to deal a killing blow on a boss with it. Imagine accidentally tearing the life force away from a bandit you hit with it.
