Weapon

Hellaxe

Created by JackCarrot

Hellaxe is a legendary greataxe forged from obsidian by a divine weaponsmith whose name has been lost to time. The blade gleams with an otherworldly darkness, its obsidian edge sharp enough to cut through the fabric of reality itself, while the shaft is carved from ancient bone that has never decayed. This weapon gained its fearsome reputation when it was wielded to slay a great demon that had terrorized the mortal realm for centuries. The obsidian blade thirsts for combat and grants its wielder a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls. When Hellaxe strikes a creature of infernal or abyssal origin, it deals an additional 2d6 radiant damage, burning away evil with divine fury. Legend tells that the god-weaponsmith who created Hellaxe was killed by those who feared he would forge weapons even more powerful, ensuring that no greater artifact would ever be made. The bone shaft seems to hum with barely contained power, and those who grip it feel the weight of divine purpose. Hellaxe is said to never break or dull, and its obsidian surface reflects light in ways that seem to defy natural law. Those who carry this weapon are forever marked by destiny, whether for glory or ruin. In the hands of a worthy champion, Hellaxe becomes an instrument of righteous vengeance against the darkness.
