Awakened Blood of Lathander

[]Lathander's Blessing gets an icon[/]

• []Burning Crusade: Destroying undead and fiends reinforce the weapon. [/]

The Slain Heretics stacks are stored and visible on the weapon.

There are 13 steps for the increase in damage:

1 - 1d2 - 1d3 - 1d4 - 1d5 - 1d6 - 1d7 - 1d8 - 1d9 - 1d10 - 1d11 - 1d12 - Awakened

(the die values that don't exist in the game are closely approximated using other dice)

Every 12 stacks you get to the next step. So to get to Awakened, you need to reach 144 stacks of Slain Heretics.

This damage also applies to the weapon's Sunbeam.

Awakened version:

• []Burning Crusade: The Blood boils with zeal, the mace deals 1d12 + Wisdom modifier Radiant damage on impact. [/]

• []Dawn's Echo: When you deal damage with this weapon, the light of dawn echoes through the strike, allowing you to cast Sunhallowed Arrow as a bonus action.[/]
  • []Sunhallowed Arrow: a cantrip, basically it's a Radiant Eldritch Blast. It is affected by Potent Spellcasting.[/]

    Path of Undeath interaction:

    • []Sacrilege: Wielding the weapon as an undead will deal 1d6 Radiant damage every turn, 1d12 for the Awakened variant.[/]

      As a Vampire Ascendant, you can now try to absorb the mace and assimilate the divine blood in it. If you suceed, you will get:

      • []Halo of Corrupted Light: Shed unholy presence in a 6m radius. [/]

        Enemies witnessing your glory shall be Charmed, or take 1d6 Psychic damage resisting you.

      Radiant damage inflicted to you will be reflected twofold as Necrotic damage to the attacker.

      Absorbing the regular mace grants you Rampant Slaughter, and converts the Slain Heretics to the new system.

      Reaching the maximum gives you the same benefit as if having absorbed the Awakened variant.

      []Rampant Slaughter: Killing humanoids and Celestials reinforce the tainted divine blood in you. [/]
