Description
The blade of the razor is made of an unknown material, and is as hard as diamond. The blade is over a meter long when in sword form, and can be toggled via a button into the form of a whip twice the length of the stiffened blade.
The shape of the razor's blade (longsword) can be altered through a chemical impulse delivered by a button on the hilt. This button is discoverable by a DC20 Intelligence (Investigation) check, or by inspecting the weapon over a short or long rest. When in whip form, its shape can be altered at will with a chemical impulse. As a result, the razor is an incredibly versatile weapon. The weapon is incredibly sharp.
Though it is meant to be worn on the belt, different generations of Razormasters have adopted different traditions for the carrying of a razor. It has been popularly worn as a sash, and more recently around the forearm.
The razor can take two forms:
Longsword - A roughly 4 foot stiff, flat blade that functions as a longsword
Whip - The razor loses it's stiffness, stretching to 8 feet and able to be manipulated like a whip. The razor can be used normally to make a whip attack, or if the target is within 5 feet the razor can be used to wrap around and attempt to grapple the target.
It can be used in its whip form to restrain and subdue an opponent by wrapping the whip around a limb or body part. If the opponent doesn't wish to lose that body part, they will usually submit and be taken/dragged to wherever the user wishes for as long as they are restrained. The enemy must make a DC 17 DEX saving throw to avoid becoming ensnared by the whip.

When you attack a creature with this weapon and roll a 20 on the attack roll, you cut off one of the creature's limbs at random. The creature dies if it can't survive without the lost body part. A creature is immune to this effect if it is immune to slashing damage, doesn't have limbs that can be removed, has legendary actions, or the GM decides that the creature is too big for its limbs to be cut off with this weapon. Such a creature instead takes an extra 4d6 slashing damage from the hit. To determine the severed body part, roll a d20:
1-6: Left arm
7-11: Right arm
12-15: Left leg
16-19: Right leg
20: Head
Proficiency with a Longsword allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
