Chainguard's Scythe

The Chainguard's Scythe is the standard-issued weapon of the Chainguard of the Chain of Charon, the much-feared police force of Dancamort. Whether in the hands of a brutish bouncer guarding the door to a VIP room at the Grand Plutonia Casino or a nimble bounty hunter chasing her quarry through the Witchlight Markets of Deep Hollow, the scythe delivers swift and deadly judgment to any criminals unlucky enough to find themselves in its path. When not in use, a simple command transforms it into a pair of innocuous-looking electrum coins joined by a red thread, allowing it to be stashed in a pocket or purse undetected.

Chainguard's Scythe

Weapon

Uncommon Requires Attunement

Heavy, finesse. Counts as a monk weapon.

The scythe is typically carried as two electrum coins pressed with Hades' likeness and symbol, tied together with a red thread. As a bonus action, you can speak the command phrase "The wages of sin are death," and the coins will transform into a scythe. Alternately, you can use a bonus action to speak the command phrase "Charon's toll is paid," and the scythe will transform back into two coins.

Reaper's Judgment. When you hit a creature with an attack roll made with this scythe, you can choose to add 3d8 necrotic damage to the roll. You can do this a number of times per day up to your proficiency bonus.


Inescapable Fate. Attacks of opportunity made with the scythe have advantage.
