For such an iconic piece of Final Fantasy, this sword has very little ACTUALLY unique about it. That said, I like the way this one came together.

Masamune

Melee Weapon, Katana, Artifact

(Requires Attunement)

An improbably long katana favored by those with immense skill. The length of the absurd blade is intricately engraved.

Damage: 2d6

Damage Type: Slashing

Modifiers: Attacks +3, Damage +3

Properties: Two-Handed, Reach

First Strike: While attuned to this weapon, you have advantage on initiative and cannot be surprised. Additionally, you may add your proficiency bonus to your initiative rolls.

Overlong Blade: If you have at least 16 Strength, you may wield this blade as though it didn’t have the Two-Handed property.

Doom Bringer: This weapon deals maximum damage against clerics, or creatures with levels in the Cleric class.

One Winged Angel: As a bonus action, you may grow a single wing from your back until the end of your turn. This wing grants a flying speed equal to your walking speed.

Today we're delving into the Cosmere for a conversion of Mistborn Cloaks, Gold Allomancy, and Gold Feruchemy!

Mistborn Cloak

Cloak, Artifact

(Requires Attunement)

A cloak of lightweight billowing strips and tassels, which serves to hide the body within and without.

Playing Noble: While attuned to this cloak, you gain the benefits of the Noble background (proficiency in History and Persuasion), proficiency in Deception, and you gain +1 to your Armor Class.

Enveloping Mists: While wearing this cloak, any time you are obscured by fog, smoke, or other such effects, you gain the benefits of Half Cover.

Gold Ring of Allomancy

Ring, Artifact

(Requires Attunement)

A seemingly plain golden band, unremarkable save for a symbol stamped on the inside.

Burn Gold: While attuned to this ring, you can safely ingest a number of gold coins each day equal to your constitution modifier. You may impel your body to digest or burn the metal to use the Augur ability.

Augur: As a bonus action, you burn the equivalent of a single gold piece which you’ve ingested. When you do, you see an illusory version of yourself as you would be under different circumstances. Focusing on a choice you’ve made within the past week can influence this illusion. For the next minute, you can see and think as though you were existing in both your body and that of the illusion. After a minute has elapsed, the illusion fades, and any information learned from the duplicate is integrated into your mind.

Gold Ring of Feruchemy

Ring, Artifact

(Requires Attunement)

A golden ring which clasps about the finger. Closing the ring forces a small golden needle to lightly pierce the skin beneath.

Gold Store: While attuned to this ring, at the start of each day you may choose to gain 1 level of exhaustion. When you do, this ring gains 1 Bloodmaker charge to a maximum of 6.

Bloodmaker: As an action, you may expend 1 Bloodmaker charge. When you do, you regain 1d12 Hit Points. Additionally, any open wounds you might have stitch themselves closed.

If the universe were half as kind to the inept and altruistic as it is to the inept and cruel I would be king of this world. A king of clowns, but king all the same. I would rule with an iron fist tucked into one of those giant foam fingers. Anywho, here's a bird skull I poured and painted.

This one is a real killer.

I would absolutely risk it to pet the large scaly weasel.

Odogaron

Huge Beast, Unaligned

A terrifying monster that scours the Rotten Vale for carrion. Its highly aggressive nature means that anything, be it monster or man, is a potential meal.

Speed: 50 ft.

STR: 18 (+4)

DEX: 26 (+8)

TRAITS

Razor-Clawed: When Odogaron deals damage to a creature using its claw attack, that creature takes Necrotic Damage equal to half that damage at the start of its next turn.

Feral Hunger: When Odogaron deals damage to a creature with its bite attack, until the end of its turn it gains additional feet of movement speed, and rolls Athletics and Acrobatics checks with advantage.

ACTIONS

Claw: Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (3d6 + 8) Slashing Damage.

Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d6 + 8) Piercing Damage.

Tail Club: Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (2d12 + 8) Slashing Damage. The target must succeed a DC 14 Strength Saving Throw or be knocked prone.

Multiattack: Odogaron may make a Claw attack and either a Bite or Tail Club attack.

REACTIONS

Stun Rage: If Odogaron is stunned, it may make a DC10 Constitution Saving Throw. On a success, it immediately recovers from the stunned condition and may make 1 melee weapon attack.

Get ready, tabletop nerds, we're crossing some streams. Today marks the first in a series of Warhammer 40K inspired conversions!

Gorefather and Gorechild

Melee Weapon, Twin-Axes, Artifact

(Requires Attunement)

Relics of reverence to the World Eaters separated in times past, the axes once belonged to the Primarch Angron.

Damage: 2d6

Damage Type: Slashing

Modifiers: Attacks +3, Damage +3

Properties: Heavy, Two-Handed

Mica-Dragon Teeth: The blades of these weapons are composed of rows of spinning dragon’s teeth. Attacks made with these weapons ignore 2 points of the target’s AC. Additionally, creatures damaged by this weapon take half as much Slashing Damage again at the start of their next turn.

Armatura’s Lesson: These weapons deal maximum damage to nonliving objects and structures, and grant advantage on Athletics checks made while climbing.

Red Angel’s Arms: These axes make you incredibly intimidating to behold. While attuned to these weapons, you have advantage on Intimidation checks. Additionally, when you ready your weapons for the first time in combat, each creature you choose that can see you must succeed a DC 16 Wisdom Saving Throw or become frightened of you for the next hour.

Butcher’s Nails: When you roll initiative, for the next hour, your Strength Score increases by 1 each time a creature within 30 feet fails an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma Saving Throw, to a maximum of 30 Strength.

Full disclosure, I kinda wanted to make a Butcher's Nails feat, but since I probably won't make another particularly Angron-adjacent build, I opted to just tack them on to these.

It's almost time for my annual Brotherhood rewatch!

Hey Tumblr, this post is doing (very small) numbers on TikTok, and I'd like you all to know that I learned a lot of what I know about the culture by spending time on this, the queerest place on the Internet.
