Blazeblade (5e Equipment)
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: The high cost does not mitigate that this is a light weapon that deals 2d6 damage. Where does the fire come from, is this a magic weapon? The "specials" are a little strange (how is a blade used for shoving?) and should perhaps integrate better with existing rules (see Disarming in the DMG, and Disarming (5e Variant Rule))

BlazebladeMartial Melee Weapons
This is a weapon with a curved blade in the shape of a hook, a bladed guard, and a knife tip on its handle. Also known as the Blazeblade, it combines the power of fire with the finesse of a hook sword. Blazeblades are designed to be used in pairs, with hooks useful for tripping opponents and trapping weapons. Special: When attempting the Shove action while wielding this weapon, you can make an attack roll with your weapon instead of a Strength (Athletics) check. Special: While wielding one Blazeblade in each hand, you can attempt to trap an opponent's weapon. When a creature misses you with a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to make a grapple attempt against the attacker. The target may end this grapple by releasing their weapon. While grappling your opponent's weapon, you can't make attacks against them with the Blazeblades. Special: While wielding one Blazeblade in each of your hands, you can link them together as a bonus action until the end of your turn. They gain the reach property, and their damage die becomes a d4. Due to the concentration necessary to effectively wield linked Blazeblades, this still counts as wielding two weapons.  Back to Main Page → 5e Homebrew → Equipment → Weapons |
