Talk:Blade of the Burnt Hand (5e Equipment)

I figure the disadvantage drawback is somewhat mitigated by the fact that whoever gets the Blade probably deals exclusively in melee anyway. As for the unsheathing thing, that part's basically flavor; sheathing and unsheathing it does take up your free interaction with an object for that turn, but if you need it for something else, I doubt you're using the Blade that turn anyway. The only part I'm worried about, really, is whether it's quite powerful enough for both legendary status and a drawback; there is also the fire resistance, but... Well, if you're basically dual-wielding the Blade and sheath... y'know what? Gonna change that to "holding" the sheath, rather than wielding it; makes more sense, and you don't need the Dual Wielder feat to get the thing's full benefit this way.

Although it isn't as overpowered as some homebrew legendary items, I agree that legendary is a appropriate rarity than very rare or lower. This only has a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls, but an average of 13.5 extra damage on top of that is pretty huge.

I'm glad you undid the edit made by DemonofPain, by the way. - Guy (talk) 14:30, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
