Description
“A sword that flies around by itself is already quite frightening.
Adding fire to the mix sure doesn’t make it better.”
Flourishing Blades. Infused with arcane life, animated
flame tongues dance through the air leaving trails of
embers behind them as they seek foes to slay. Animated
flame tongues fight with the skill of a seasoned duelist.
Honorbound. Animated flame tongues can be created
in many ways, but the most common way is when a
magical sword’s attuned wielder is killed with magical
fire. The sword becomes mobile and semi-sentient,
seeking to defeat those who killed its master, and anyone
who uses magic to destroy life. This makes animated
flame tongues a particular risk to those who wield magic.
Constructed Nature. An animated flame tongue
doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep. The magic that
animates an animated flame tongue is dispelled when
the construct drops to 0 hit points. An animated flame
tongue reduced to 0 hit points becomes inanimate and is
too damaged to be of much use or value to anyone.

confirmed those rumors yet.
