You can take a Magic action to blow this horn. In response, warrior spirits from the plane of Ysgard appear in unoccupied spaces within 60 feet of you. Each spirit uses the Berserker stat block and returns to Ysgard after 1 hour or when it drops to 0 Hit Points. The spirits look like living, breathing warriors, and they have Immunity to the Charmed and Frightened conditions. Once you use the horn, it can’t be used again until 7 days have passed.
Four types of Horn of Valhalla are known to exist, each made of a different metal. The horn’s type determines how many spirits it summons, as well as the requirement for its use. The DM chooses the horn’s type or determines it randomly by rolling on the following table. If you blow the horn without meeting its requirement, the summoned spirits attack you.
If you meet the requirement, they are Friendly to you and your allies and follow your commands.
| 1d100 | Horn Type | Spirits | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01–40 | Silver | 2 | None |
| 41–75 | Brass | 3 | Proficiency with all Simple weapons |
| 76–90 | Bronze | 4 | Training with all Medium armor |
| 91–00 | Iron | 5 | Proficiency with all Martial weapons |

Posted Feb 3, 2025Much easier to hand out to players since you don't suddenly have 4-25 berserkers appear. Iron one might warrant a legendary tag since these can only be used once per week, but otherwise the item might finally see play without bogging down combat.

Posted Mar 16, 2025Kind of feel like the cooldown for this should be reduced since the quantity of berserker you get is reduced. Feels kind of pointless to have if you can only get 2-5 creatures a week.

Posted Jul 22, 2025This is still a really fun and strong item, I just wish they would've clarified if the berserkers get their own initiative or if they could just go immediately after the player like all other summons.
