Weapon (greataxe), artifact (requires attunement by a Wild Magic Barbarian)

This imposing weapon combines raw power and chaotic energy into an arcane focus. Crafted painstakingly by the orc god of pure physical strength, Bahgtru the leg breaker, to embody his dogma "the mighty shall crush the weak". As all he knows are weapons, this arcane focus takes the shape of an enormous greataxe. It's in fact so enormous that it takes a STR of 14 just to lift it, and a STR of 17 to wield it properly. The axe's blade is forged from an otherworldly, shimmering metal, and its handle is adorned with runes that shift and write like living serpents.

Arcane Amplification. Bahgtru's Arcane Focus of Magical Brutality actually serves as an arcane focus. When casting spells, the Barbarian can add their STR modifier to spell attack rolls and spell save DCs, representing the fusion of their physical and magical prowess.

Chaos' Resilience. Bahgtru's blessing infuses the Barbarian with resilience. While wielding the Arcane Focus of Magical Brutality, the Barbarian gains advantage on saving throws against spells and effects that attempt to control or restrain their rage.

Frenzied Surge. Upon entering a rage, the Barbarian can choose to trigger a Frenzied Surge. During this surge, they gain an extra attack on each of their turns, and their melee attacks deal an additional 1d6 force damage. However, this surge causes a backlash of Wild Magic and you must roll on the full Wild Magic Surge table, and after the Frenzied Surge ends (lasting for 1 minute or until the rage ends) the Barbarian suffers one level of exhaustion.

Unpredictable Outbursts. Due to Bahgtru's chaotic nature, the greataxe sometimes unleashes unpredictable magical outbursts. At the start of each battle, roll 1d20. On a roll of 1, a wild magic surge is triggered, affecting both the Barbarian and a random creature within 30 feet. These outbursts represent the deity's capricious favor, sometimes causing chaotic effects that may hinder or aid the Barbarian and their allies.

Magic Weapon. The Arcane Focus of Magical Brutality is a magic weapon that grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. It also deals double damage to objects and structures.

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. On a hit, the second creature takes the weapon’s damage, but don’t add your ability modifier to that damage unless that modifier is negative. You can make this extra attack only once per turn.

Notes: Bonus: Magic, Wild Magic Barbarian, Damage, Combat, Heavy, Two-Handed, Cleave
