Mogis wields the greataxe Aimatos, which is forever stained with the blood of past kills. In the hands of the god of slaughter, it is used to spar against his brother Iroas, or to bury it into a mortal that Mogis seeks to fight. When Mogis grants his weapon to a follower, it would be to further cement their growing savagery. Mogis may even grant his weapon to any warrior in a moment of desperation, trying to draw out their malice.
Greataxe of Slaughter. This greataxe grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. Additionally, if the target is missing any of its hit points, it deals 1 extra die of damage. When a target is missing more than half of their maximum hit points, your attacks made with this weapon deal 1 extra die of damage.
Blessing of Slaughter. If you are a worshiper of Mogis, you gain all of the following benefits for which you have the required piety:
Piety 3+. The greataxe has 1 randomly determined minor beneficial property.
Piety 25+. The greataxe has 1 randomly determined major beneficial property.
Piety 50+. The greataxe has 1 additional randomly determined major beneficial property.
If you are not a worshiper of Mogis, the greatxe has 2 randomly determined major detrimental properties.
See "Artifacts" in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master's Guide for details on randomly determined properties.
Brutality. You can roll 2 additional weapon damage dice when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with this greataxe. Additionally, attacks made with this weapon can only deal lethal damage.
Mogis's Favor. While attuned to this weapon and in combat, horns cloaked in stars adorn the top of your head. As a bonus action, you can choose an enemy that you can either see or hear, then move up to your full movement speed towards them. You must end this movement closer to the chosen enemy than before you started this movement.
Destroying the Greataxe. To destroy the greataxe, it must be used in honorable combat to defeat the leaders of all three tribes of Phoberos minotaurs: the Felhide, the Ragegore, and the Bloodhorns. Each of them must then be spared their lives. Lastly, the axe must be broken against the stones of the Temple of Triumph in Akros.
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, Heavy, Two-Handed, Cleave
