Special Abilities
-
Cut Through Barriers:
The Barrier Cutter is capable of slicing through magical barriers and shields. As an action, the wielder can target one magical effect within 5 feet, such as a Wall of Force, Shield, or other protective spell.- The Barrier Cutter forces the caster of the magical effect to make a spellcasting ability check (DC 15 + the level of the spell).
- On a failure, the magical effect is dispelled or destroyed.
- This ability can be used once per short or long rest.
-
Arcane Rift (Recharge 6):
When the Barrier Cutter successfully destroys a magical barrier, it creates a destabilizing arcane rift in a 10-foot radius.- All creatures within the radius must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 3d6 force damage.
- The area is treated as difficult terrain until the start of the wielder's next turn.
Additional Features
- Arcane Sensitivity: While attuned to the dagger, the wielder can sense the presence of magic within 30 feet as if using the Detect Magic spell. This feature is always active.
- No Escape: If the Barrier Cutter is used to strike a creature under a magical protective effect (such as Mage Armor or Sanctuary), the effect is suppressed for 1 minute.
Proficiency with a Dagger 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.
Nick. When you make the extra attack of the Light property, you can make it as part of the Attack action instead of as a Bonus Action. You can make this extra attack only once per turn.
Notes: The Barrier Cutter requires attunement by a spellcaster or a character proficient with Arcana. This limitation ensures that the wielder has some connection to magic, allowing them to harness the dagger's unique abilities effectively. Alternatively, if you'd prefer a broader requirement, it can require attunement by any creature proficient with daggers or with a Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma of 13 or higher, reflecting an innate or learned aptitude for manipulating magic. , Finesse, Light, Thrown, Nick
