D&D 5E Excalibur! DnD!

In Mythological Figures & Maleficent Monsters, we also include some important magical artifacts. Here's THE magical artifact.

Excellent write-up!

 

[Scrivener of Doom]

Any stats for watery tarts?

Only operates on Nat 20, not just for Critical Hits?

 

[Jacob Lewis]

The sword has three charges when it is found. The wielder may expend a charge to cast one of the following spells:

1. Detect Coconuts in Temperate Climate
2. Repress the Masses (or Mass Repression)
3. Defy the French

At the start of each day, Excalibur will recharge 1d4 charges until it has 3 charges again. Should the player roll more than 3, then sword will regain only enough charges until it has 3, and three is the number of charges it will have.

Thou shalt not count 2 charges, unless you are in the process of continuing to count to 3, which is the specified number. Once the sword has three charges, do not bother proceeding to 4.

5 is completely out of the question, as it is much higher than 3, being the holiest of numbers...

 

[Doug McCrae]

It's very much the Holy Grail of magic swords.

 

[CleverNickName]

Only operates on Nat 20, not just for Critical Hits?

Sounds like it. I actually prefer the nat-20 requirement, really reigns in the crit-fishing.

 

[Todd Roybark]

Doug McCrae just scored a humor critical hit on my funny bone!
I might have damaged my spleen from groaning/laughing.

2 Natural 20’s is the trigger, for the Sword of Sharpness power from the 5e DMG.

 

[Matrix Sorcica]

Is speaking the command word a free action? Guess so, but doesn't specify.

I think you should run your manuscript through and catch all such unclarities

 

[Paul Farquhar]

In many versions of the story, it is the scabbard that is the more powerful item. It should certainly offer resistance to S and P damage from monsters, which RAW "nonmagical weapons" doesn't include.

I would suggest the sword and scabbard share an attunement slot.
