Grave Digger

Weapon

Uncommon Neutral or Evil alligments Requires Attunement

Two-Handed, Heavy

Grave Digger is a formidable magical weapon forged from dark, enchanted metal and inscribed with necrotic runes that lit up when used. In its unactivated state, it appears as a heavy, grim shovel—a tool once used for digging graves. With a command, the shovel’s edges magically extend and reshape into a fearsome greataxe, channeling the corrupt energies of death.

Switchable Forms.

Shovel Form. Functions as a mundane digging shovel.
Axe Form. Using a bonus action, you can command the weapon to transform into a greataxe. In this form, it deals 1d4 slashing damage and 1d8 necrotic damage on a hit.

Reconstruction (1/day).

As an action, you can channel the weapon’s necromantic power to cast Animate Dead as a 3rd-level spell.

Type Damage Damage Range
Martial Melee 1d4 Slashing + 1d8 Necrotic None
