The Night Champion of the Moon King wields this legendary axe, which can be used as a slashing weapon, or as a pole-arm for piercing damage under appropriate circumstances.
Until attuned, this seems like a +1 greataxe. Damage: 1d12+1.
Upon first kill, the axe gains the ability to whisper through steel as though it doesn't exist. Any opponent's steel armor is removed for AC purposes. Additionally, the damage is far more terrible: 2d12+6, plus 3d8 against any non-fey. The axe may be used as a pole-arm against an onrushing, attacking opponent, in which case the damage is 3d12+9 against all opponents.
One per day, the axe can be boosted with the "Moon Kiss" -- the wielder can use a bonus action to kiss the blade, and the next slashing strike is made at +4 to hit, with damage 4d12+12, plus 4d8 against any non-fey.
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.
