Madarua’s Razor
Lore
A relic of the righteous paladin Madarua, this weapon is said to have been forged in the heart of a pure star, its edge an amalgam of all celestial and terrestrial metals. It is a symbol of absolute versatility, ensuring that no servant of evil may ever find solace behind a specific barrier. Though divine in origin, the blade serves its wielder without judgment.
Special Abilities:
-
The Perfect Form
- Activation: Instantaneous
- Description: The wielder mentally commands the Razor to instantly shift its shape into any single melee weapon (light, one-handed, or two-handed). The wielder is always treated as proficient with the Razor, regardless of the form it takes.
-
The Flawless Edge
- Activation: Passive (On Hit)
- Description: When the weapon strikes a creature, its damage instantly adopts the required material or alignment type to bypass the target’s Damage Reduction (DR) (e.g., DR/silver, DR/cold iron, DR/chaotic, DR/magic).
-
Voice of the Faithful
- Activation: Concentration
- Description: By touching the blade and concentrating, the wielder establishes instantaneous, two-way mental contact with the current Matriarch of Madarua’s Church. This telepathic communication is unhindered by distance and bypasses most conventional barriers (similar to the Sending spell).
