You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In addition:
- When you hit with an attack using this greataxe, the target takes an extra 2d6 necrotic damage.

- While attuned to the axe, you can speak and understand Abyssal.
Baphomet's Rancor is cursed, a fact that is revealed only when an identify spell is cast on the weapon or you attune to it. As long as you remain cursed, you are unwilling to part with the axe, keeping it within reach at all times. You also have disadvantage on all Wisdom checks and Wisdom saving throws.
The axe compels you to spread chaos and slaughter. Each night, you must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be compelled to seek out and slay a living creature within the next 24 hours. If you resist or are prevented from fulfilling this compulsion, you suffer one level of exhaustion that can't be removed until the compulsion is satisfied.
Additionally, while attuned to this weapon, your appearance slowly becomes more fiendish. Cosmetic changes such as small horns, red eyes, or a faint odor of brimstone emanating from your body might occur, potentially affecting your interactions with others.
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.
