Chainbreaker

Sometimes, metal is shaped by hands of workmen, sometimes the metal calls to the workman, almost begging to be shaped. This sword is formed of steel from the latter category. Forged specifically for Gregor Ivanov from the chains of his bondage, this sword sings true when striking against those that repress the will of others. A relatively simple design, it is elegant in its simplicity. The crossguard is formed from links of the chain welded together. The wire wrapped handle is capped with a depiction of broken manacles.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Functions as a +1 Striking Bastard Sword.

Divine Retribution Activate: 2 actions

Drawing upon divine fury, you single out a target that damaged you or an ally within the past round and fill your relic with divine vengeance against them. Make a Strike against that foe, dealing an additional damage die on a hit. If the target is evil, it is also enfeebled 1 until the start of your next turn on a hit (or enfeebled 2 on a critical hit)

Shattered Earth Activate: 2 actions Seismic pulses from your relic ripple through the nearby ground, shaking sharp fragments to the surface. A 10-foot-radius patch of stone or earth within 60 feet is transformed into difficult terrain. A creature that enters an affected square during a move action must succeed at an Acrobatics check or Reflex save or take 1d6 piercing damage; it needs to roll only once per move action even if it moves through several squares. At 6th level and every 4 levels thereafter, increase the damage by1d6.
