Attacking at long range doesn't impose disadvantage on your attack rolls with this weapon. Tracking. During your turn, when you throw this weapon, it can either have the Split or Focus property. Split. When you throw this weapon at a target, a phantom axe appears and allows you to make another attack roll against another creature within 10 feet of the original target. These attacks deal 1d4 additional fire damage on hit to a target. Focus. You focus the axes powers to scorch a single target. This attack deals 3d6 additional fire damage on hit to a target. Misdirection. When you throw this weapon and roll a 1, the weapon will fly out 5 feet, then come back at the wielder. The wielder must then make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking half damage from the attack on a failed save, and catching the weapon on a successful save. If the wielder fails the save and takes the damage, the weapon will fall at their feet.
