Aerecath

This is a sword of legend; the weapon that Durnevas the Great used to defeat an army of 500 soldiers on his own at the battle of Icecrown, and never left his side, even in death.

Once attuned, this weapon has multiple uses and conditions: When inert, it appears as a simple shortsword with no unique characteristic.

When the command word "vohs" is said, the weapon transforms into a burning longsword.

When the command word "loh" is said, the weapon transforms into a paralyzing greatsword (DC 15 CON saving throw).

When the command word "kahl" is said, the weapon transforms into its penultimate form, a massive claymore 9 feet in length, and weighing over 300 lbs.

Certain conditions apply to the Kahl form of the sword: because of its sheer size and weight, a DC10 Strength check must be rolled before even rolling an attack roll. If successful, a -1 penalty will be applied to the attack roll, signifying the slow-moving nature of this weapon. If the weapon still hits, it deals 3d12 damage, and causes one wound(target suffers 1d4 necrotic damage at the beginning of its turn for each wound, then rolls a DC 15 Constitution check to attempt to shrug off the effects of the wounds). The Kahl form can be used 3 times. If it is used a 4th time, an exhaustion point will be inflicted on the user, and for every other swing beyond that.

To revert back to a previous form, simply speak the appropriate command word(s). (i.e., to revert from claymore to longsword, the command word sequence would be "loh, vohs."

To revert Aerecath back to shortsword form, speak the command word "duhl."

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