== Description: ==
Sir Rodrick's Sword is an elegantly crafted longsword with a hilt adorned in intricate silver filigree and a blade that glimmers with a faint, ethereal glow. It emanates an aura of honor and duty, reflecting the noble lineage of its former owner, Sir Rodrick of Eldermoor.
== Abilities: ==
=== Sword of Vengeance (Evocation): ===
This magical sword carries the lingering spirit of Sir Rodrick's unfulfilled oath. Whenever the wielder of Sir Rodrick's Sword critically fails an attack roll, they gain a +2 circumstance bonus to their next attack roll against the same target. This bonus increases to +4 if the target was responsible for a recent ally's death or betrayal.
=== Versatile Edge (Transmutation): ===
The blade of Sir Rodrick's Sword can morph and shift its form according to the wielder's needs. Once per day as a free action, the wielder can choose to change the weapon's damage type to either slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning, allowing the sword to bypass certain resistances or exploit vulnerabilities.
=== Swordsmanship of the Fallen (Evocation): ===
When the wielder critically hits a foe, the blade resonates with the restless spirit of Sir Rodrick, dealing an additional 2d6 force damage. If the target is an undead creature, this extra damage increases to 4d6.
== Activation: ==
The latent power within Sir Rodrick's Sword responds to the touch and intent of a skilled warrior. To activate its abilities, the wielder must focus their thoughts on either their righteous cause or the pursuit of retribution, invoking the spirit of Sir Rodrick's oath and the fallen.
== Adventure Hook: ==
Sir Rodrick's Sword has been lost to history for centuries, but rumors of its existence have recently resurfaced. A group of paladins seeks the blade to bolster their ranks against a rising tide of darkness. They beseech the adventurers to embark on a quest to locate the sword's resting place, facing trials of honor, courage, and sacrifice along the way. The paladins believe that with the blade in their possession, they can rekindle the flame of Sir Rodrick's legacy and inspire a new era of chivalry.
