False Appearance. While Honedge remains motionless and isn't flying (with its eye closed), it is indistinguishable from a normal shortsword. Can also be carried by a player as if it were a normal shortsword.
Unusual Nature. Honedge doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
Baby Aegislash. Honedge is immune to Aegislash's mind-controlling abilities.
Metal Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 1 (3d4 + 4) Slashing damage. Does +4 damage to targets with an armor class lower than 14. Knocks hit targets back 10 ft.
Slash. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) slashing damage, and must succeed at a DC 16 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If Honedge moved at least 20 feet straight toward the target immediately before the hit, the target takes an extra 7 (2d6) slashing damage.
Martial Flurry. Honedge can make two slash attacks as a bonus action.
Shadow Sneak. While in dim light or darkness, Honedge teleports up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space it can see that is also in dim light or darkness. It then has advantage on the first melee attack it makes before the end of the turn.
Phantom Force. While in dim light or darkness, Honedge can take the Hide action as a bonus action.
Parry & Riposte. Honedge adds 4 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, Honedge must see the attacker. If Honedge successfully deflects an attack with its parry, it can immediately make a slash attack against its attacker as part of the same reaction.
Description
Honedge is a small sword with a slightly detailed sheath and a single blue ribbon extending from the pommel of its hilt. Despite only being around 2.5' tall, Honedge still manages to be an powerful opponent; it's ability to fly at deadly speeds blade while still maintaining amazing control is nothing less than impressive, if not flat-out imposing. More amazing is its ability to enter a shadow and appear out of another, as if going through a portal, without losing any momentum or speed; truly a fright to behold. Just imagine a sword around 20 feet away dropping through the floor and appearing right in front of your face after dropping from the ceiling in the blink of an eye. Absolutely terrorizing, especially when the room you're in is dark. Its true body is its blue eye, but hitting it doesn't do more damage or anything. Not recommended anyway, as it is more than capable of killing someone.
Thanks to IamSposta and Agilemind for their advice to make Honedge better!
