Welcome
Shadow Reaver in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Shadow Reaver
Weapon Reach, Two-Handed, Focus, Finesse, Legendary (this item requires attunement)
A Scythe with a blade made of an almost immaterial shadow, connected to a grey wooden shaft with 5 runes on it. The user attuned to this scythe slowly becomes haunted by nightmares from those slain by this scythe and a strong malicious intent can be felt through the weapon(slow turns the user's alignment evil). It reminds you of the new moon.
Shadow Wall Casting time: action Range: 90 feet Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes You create a vertical wall of whirling, razor-sharp blades made of dark energies. The wall appears within range and lasts for the duration. You can make a straight wall up to 100 feet long, 20 feet high, and 5 feet thick, or a ringed wall up to 60 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 5 feet thick. The wall provides three-quarters cover to creatures behind it, and its space is difficult terrain. When a creature enters the wall's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, the creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes ((souls/10)xd10) Necrotic damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage. Soul Wave Casting time: 1 Action Range: Self (30-foot radius) Duration: Instantaneous You strike the ground, creating a wave of souls that ripples outward from you. Each creature you choose within 30 feet of you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take (souls x d6) necrotic damage, and be knocked prone. A creature that succeeds on its saving throw takes half as much damage and isn’t knocked prone.
