Homebrew Flying Sword Species Details

Animated by magic for a variety of purposes, animated objects are common objects given a crude intelligence to serve their master’s needs.

A flying sword dances through the air, fighting with the confidence of a warrior that can't be injured. Swords are the most common weapons animated with magic. Axes, clubs, daggers, maces, spears, and even self-loading crossbows are also known to exist in animated object form.
