Wondrous Item, artifact
Forged from abyssal steel and pulsing with virulent energy, Basilisk exudes a constant trail of toxic mist. Once the weapon of a vengeful spirit, this spear allows its wielder to manifest and command serpentine poison incarnate, leaving devastation in its wake.
Weapon Properties
- Damage: 1d8 piercing (versatile 1d10)
- Bonus: +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon.
- Poisonous Touch: On a successful hit, the target must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or take 6d6 poison damage at the start of each of its turns for 1 minute. The target may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Creatures reduced to 0 hit points while under this effect dissolve into sludge.
- Corrosive Aura: Any non-magical material (wood, metal, stone, etc.) within 10 feet of the spear takes 10 acid damage per round. This effect can be suppressed at will.
Venom Serpent Form (Recharge 5–6)
As a bonus action, you can command the spear’s poison to take the form of a serpent and attack a target within 300 feet. The serpent flies at 200 km/h (125 mph), ignoring obstacles as it slithers through cracks and openings.
- Make a ranged weapon attack using your normal attack bonus. On a hit, the target takes 10d6 poison damage and must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or be Paralyzed for 1 minute. The serpent returns to you afterward, hissing with glee.
- Creatures immune to poison are still vulnerable to this serpent, but they have advantage on the saving throw.
Toxic Command (3/day)
You can mentally control the direction and shape of any poison released by the spear. You may:
- Create poison walls, poison spikes, or poison fog clouds (as cloudkill) in a 60-foot radius around you.
- Control any poisonous environment or creature (DM’s discretion) within 300 feet for 1 minute. Requires concentration.
