Axe of Justice and Revenge

A great axe that Kurdan Dax can summon when raging.

The axe was gifted to him by three mysterious women that share the names of the moons of Gidoire. 

One head of the axe glows with golden light and represents Justice for the people of Onitsha.

The other head glows a dark red and represents vengeance ("Revenge") for the people of Onithsa.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

The axe has different mechanics depending on which head of the axe is swung in an attack:

Justice

+ 1 to hit

As a bonus action, you can expend a number of hit dice (what you use to heal during short rests) up to your proficiency bonus. Until the start of your next turn, you gain advantage on a number of attacks equal to the number of hit dice expended.

Revenge

+2 to damage

When you kill a creature, you get temporary hit points equal to the damage you committed in that attack. It last until you leave rage.
