Amanestra The Cursed Blade

AMANESTRA, THE CURSED BLADE

Adds a powerful but cursed longsword to the game: Amanestra.

This weapon comes with custom spells, passives, and mechanics.

SCALING AND UPGRADING

This weapon scales with its owner’s level, starting at +0 and increasing up to +2. Some other effects scale as well, such as elemental damage and critical damage. You can add elemental damage to the sword by using the "Jeweller’s Setting Tool" and any vanilla gem (ruby, topaz, etc.).

NEW MECHANICS

Amanestra generates a new resource: Fiendish Anger. When you miss an opponent or use weapon actions, you gain stacks of Fiendish Anger. At the start of each turn, and when you kill an enemy, these stacks are reduced. If you reach 15 or more stacks, the demon bound within the sword takes control of your body, attacking allies and enemies alike. This effect lasts for 5 turns and are reduce by 1 each time you kill a creature. While possessed by the demon, you gain melee bonuses and cannot control your character.

WEAPON PASSIFS

Amanestra’s passives are enhanced when your target is Bleeding. You reduce the number needed to roll a critical hit by 1, and add your level as extra damage (doubled if the target is Bleeding).

You gain a bonus to your spell attack rolls and spell save DC equal to the weapon's enchantment bonus.

Additionally, you can toggle one of her passive to use your Spellcasting Ability instead of your Strength or Dexterity for attack and damage rolls.

The sword comes with a custom version of Arcane Synergy, called Corrupted Arcane Synergy, which triggers when you apply a status. The only difference from the standard version is that it uses your Constitution modifier if it is higher than your Spellcasting Ability modifier. This allows even Barbarians and Warriors to benefit from it.

WEAPON ACTIONS

All of Amanestra’s weapon actions consume hit points and generate Fiendish Anger stacks. Each action can be used once per fight.

Blood Strike

Performs a single attack that can cause Bleeding.
