Powers

Sharpness

The edge of the blade is razor sharp. The sword is treated as +3 for determining which targets it can hit, though it gets only a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. On a very high attack roll, it will sever an extremity—arm, leg, neck, tail, tentacle, or other extremity determined by natural (unmodified) dice roll:

  • 18-20: normal/armored
  • 19-20: larger than normal size
  • 20: solid stone or metal

Called Shot

A Called Shot can be used to select the extremity to be severed, though the typical Called Shot penalty of -4 may apply. If not specified by the player, the DM may determine the extremity severed by logic or a random roll. Called Shots may also be attempted against opponents' weapons or other items held.

Structural

Similar to an axe chopping through soft wood, the sword can chop through rock-hard materials, including hardwood, bone, stone and metal. The sword can inflict 1 point of structural damage per round.

Light

The sword can shed magical silvery blue light at will, at an intensity level determined by the wielder - none, a 5-foot globe of dim illumination, a 15-foot globe of light, or a 30-foot globe of bright light.

Everbright

The sword is immune to tarnishing and other discoloration, acidic corrosion, and rusting, including that caused by rust monster antennae. It can shine with a mirror like finish on command.

Interactions

  • Flame - When the sword is flaming, it can cut through two feet of ice in a round.

Appearance

Although the original craftsmanship of the blade is impeccable, its edge has been magically sharpened beyond visual perception. Very close examination of the edge reveals a warping of light extending a mere quarter inch, creating a distortion like the effects of a mirage.

Rite

Many swords were enchanted as moonblades in the High Magic ritual known as a Ritual of Myriad, which included hundreds of ritual participants. As a ritual participant, Myriana Moonflower imbued the quality of Sharpness as the first power of Teuvel'Khilat. The Moonflower ancestry in the Khilat bloodline may have influenced the sword’s selection of a wielder from the clan of Khilat.
