📋 About This Mod
Description:
Adds my interpretation of the Vox Machina weapon Craven Edge into the game from the show Vox Machina which is created by Critical Role a group of DND players who play on youtube. I recommend you check out both the show on Amazon and their D&D content as it's very good.
Features:
Dark Aura: Grants the wielder advantage on Charisma (Intimidation)
Devour the Weak: Whenever Craven Edge damages a living creature, that creature must roll a Constitution saving throw (DC 12). On a failed save, Craven Edge drains one point from the creature's Strength score and transfers it to the wielder (increasing to a maximum of 25 Strength) until the next short rest or long rest. Creatures brought to 0 Strength by this feature are slain.
Gluttonous Evolution: If Craven Edge devours enough strength from Devour the Weak to bring the wielder to 25 Strength, then the blade shifts form into a larger, jagged blade that seeps shadow. Until the wielder's next short rest or long rest, all attacks with this sword deal an additional 2d6 necrotic damage.
Notes: Do to restrictions and the way the game is, normally upon having the sword reach gluttonous evolution and upon long rest you would have to make a con save or be killed, however that is both hard to do and kind of pointless in this game. I am open to suggestions for negative side effects. This was a surprisingly hard effect to do in this game, so there might be situations or circumstances where something odd happens please report anything like that to me. I have some updates planned for a possible weapon effect and such in the future but right now I want to get some feedback as well.
How To Get
Summon the tutorial chest, I am open to better drop places for this weapon. It's a little tough to scale for balance and I am not sure where a good point in the game for it would be, I do normally strive to have weapons usable throughout the entire experience, but this one is kinda a lot harder to do that with.
