Arrow Filcher

This is a beautifully carved wooden bow with markings similar to that of the general markings made by the servants of Filchus, God of War, and seems to be from another realm of existence. It gives an extra +2 to any attack and damage rolls made with it. It also has the following properties:

Sentient. It is a chaotic evil weapon with Intelligence 15, Wisdom 13 and Charisma 16. If the user has darkvision or other abilities the weapon adopts such traits. It can also sense the languages the user speaks and communicate with them through telepathy in any of those languages.

Psychic Drain. When a creature is damaged by Filcher it must make an Intelligence saving throw (DC 13). On a failed save the creature takes 1d4+2 (intelligence modifier) psychic damage.

Pact of the Mind Whenever you deal damage with Arrow Filcher the wielder must roll 1d4. Take the damage and divide by the number rolled on the d4 and the wielder takes that much psychic damage.

Punishment of Incompetence If the wielder rolls a natural 1 on their attack roll the arrow fired splits and each part attacks every member of the party.

Power Surge. When a creature is slain by Psychic Drain Arrow Filcher gains 1 point in any of its ability scores (to a max of 24). However, once one of its scores reaches 18 the wielder will take 1 point of psychic damage to put it away if they fail an Intelligence saving throw (DC 16). When one of its scores reaches 20 it drains 1d4 from its wielder. When one of its scores reaches 24 it drains 1d8 from its wielder when they attempt to put it away.

Personality. It is a sentient bow that looks for worthy warriors to help to sustain it's thirst for death. There is a deep desire within the bow to cause as much pain to as many as can be done in any way possible.

It is skilled in the art of deception, lies and bending any subject to its will. If the wielder decides to leave Arrow Filcher for another weapon the wielder must make a Wisdom Saving Throw (DC 16). If they fail they are unable to drop Arrow Filcher.

The origin and true nature of Arrow Filcher is unknown and it may be that it houses the soul of some sort of evil celestial or a creature that once lived in the Shadowfell.

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