Life Leech Sword in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

Life Leech Sword

Weapon Rapier, Finesse Rare

This is a powerful weapon, worthy of considerable respect by all adversaries. It begins to gibber and pant in low tones as soon as it is drawn. It sounds for all the world like the creature is insane and hungering for the taste of blood. The sound alone has been known to cause weak willed opponents to flee (opponents within 60ft must make a DC12 Charisma Saving Throw, else be frightened.) This weapon is considered a rapier for purposes of determining damage.   When the blade strikes a living opponent, it drains its victim of blood, water and other nutrients. The creature utters a ghoulish sigh as it absorbs the fluids. That first strike drains 1d12+STR or DEX points of damage in addition to the wound. Thereafter, the victim is too dehydrated, and can only be drained of 1d8+STR or DEX hit points per wound. It takes a full day, with lots of fluids, to recover from the effects of the life leech sword. The victim does not regain any hit points, but no longer feels dehydrated.

Type Damage Damage Range Properties
Martial Melee 1d12+STR or DEX / 1d8+STR or DEX Piercing Rapier, Finesse
