Yamato (5e Equipment)
Weapon (longsword), legendary (requires attunement) Yamato is a large katana with a dark-forged blade, longer than the Japanese blade, with a gold guard. The Tsuka ("handle") has the traditional gold wrapping, with black ornaments, and the Tsuba ("guard") is octagonal. The blade features several intricate ornaments, most notable is a relief of a dragon at the endpoint of the hilt. The scabbard is black, made of traditional lacquered wood, and features several metallic ornaments on its far end. It also features a golden sageo, the cord used to tie the katana to the waist. Previously used by the Great Demon Champion Sparda, the blade was used to seal away the Demon world from the Human world. You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon, which deals an additional 1d4 necrotic damage on a hit. If you have not taken damage since the end of your last turn, you gain an additional +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls. Judgement Cut. When you make an attack with Yamato, you can instead make a ranged weapon attack against a target within 120 feet of you. On a hit, you deal 3d6 force damage. When you make this attack and roll a 20 on the attack roll, each other creature of your choice within 15 feet of the target takes the same amount of damage as the original target. Summoned Swords. As an action, you summon a floating glowing blue sword made of energy and fire it at a creature or location. Make a ranged weapon attack against a creature within 30 feet. On a hit, you can choose to either teleport to an empty space within 5 feet of the target or to teleport that creature to an empty space on the ground within 5 feet of you. |
