📋 About This Mod
Description
Lost for ages in the Underdark, Dawnbringer appears to be a gilded longsword hilt. While grasping the hilt, you can use a bonus action to make a blade of pure radiance spring from the hilt, or cause the blade to disappear. Dawnbringer has all the properties of a Sun Blade.
While holding the weapon, you can use an action to touch a creature with the blade and cast Lesser Restoration on that creature. Once used, this ability can't be used again until the next dawn.
This is the official description of Dawnbringer, a sentient sword obtained in Out of the Abyss. Added as faithfully as I can, Dawnbringer deals 1d10 (1d8) Radiant damage, with versatile and finesse properties, an extra 1d8 Radiant damage to Undead and Fiends, casts light in a 6 meter radius (with the same effects as Lathander's Light), and allows the user to cast Lesser Restoration once per long rest. It can be found at the Ancient Forge (see pic). Alternatively download the "Tutorial Chest" version alongside Tutorial Chest Summoning to access at any point during your playthrough.
Main features
Adds the legendary longsword Dawnbringer from Out of the Abyss, with matching (as closely as possible) the abilities of the tabletop version.
