Weapon (any sword that deals slashing damage), legendary (requires attunement)
You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In addition, the weapon ignores resistance to slashing damage.
When you attack a creature that has at least one head with this weapon and roll a 20 on the attack roll, you cut off one of the creature's heads. The creature dies if it can't survive without the lost head. A creature is immune to this effect if it is immune to slashing damage, doesn't have or need a head, has legendary actions, or the GM decides that the creature is too big for its head to be cut off with this weapon. Such a creature instead takes an extra 6d8 slashing damage from the hit.
Applicable Weapons:
Name | Type | Damage | Properties |
---|---|---|---|
Greatsword | Martial Melee | 2d6 + 3 slashing | Heavy, two-handed |
Longsword | Martial Melee | 1d8 + 3 slashing | Versatile (1d10) |
Scimitar | Martial Melee | 1d6 + 3 slashing | Finesse, light |
Notes: Bonus: Magic, Damage, Combat

It's 6d8 on top of the normal damage on the table below the description. Normally on a 20 you'd roll your typical damage twice (some people just double). With this sword you'll roll 6d8 instead of a second normal damage roll. 6d8 is much greater than all the damage specs in the table and very high for a melee weapon in general anyway, so it's a win/win.
