Damage 2d6 slashing

heavy two-handed

Charges: 7 (regains at dawn)

A greatsword of tempered steel with a black, subtly iridescent core. The blade's edge gleams with a cold, pale light, and its fuller is etched with runes that resemble whispered faces. The grip is wrapped in dark leather, and tiny sigils glow along the guard, shifting subtly as memories are recalled.

+2 to attack and damage This magic greatsword grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.

Memory Bank The blade stores memories of every creature it has slain. It can hold up to seven memories. Each time you slay a creature with this blade, its memory is stored automatically unless the bank is full. When full, the oldest memory fades to make room for a new one.

Echo of the Fallen Expend 1 charge to awaken a stored memory and gain a tactical edge. You gain advantage on one attack roll against a target you can see, and if you hit, the target takes an extra 1d4 psychic damage. The effect lasts until the end of your next turn.

Lore

The Memoryblade was forged by a reclusive runemaster who sought to give weapons the humanity of their fallen victims. Upon each life taken by the blade, a fragment of that creature's memory is bound into its blade, leaving behind echoes that manifest as a whispering chorus when the weapon is drawn.

History

Born from a pact between a necromancer and a smith of celestial steel, the blade has changed hands across countless battles. Each owner has sought to harness the memories it stores, either as a wellspring of tactical knowledge or as a cursed reminder of those left behind. Notable wielders include a war-priest of a god of memory and a ruthless mercenary who swore the blade's whispers would never fall silent.
