Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhan_The_Black" data-source="post: 6884929" data-attributes="member: 6851813">So,  I have the pleasure to be involved in a rather interesting situation in  a current 5E campaign, and thought I would see what you good folks thought of it .  Those in said campaign, you know who you are, get outta here! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  My Character's Background  <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Something resembling the 4E assassin, but with a  more rogue-ish weapon selection/fighting style and a different source of  arcane power, derived from Lock 3/Rogue 4/Fighter 1 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Been with the party as a character for 3-4 sessions (Much longer as a player) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Isn't opposed to some good natured soul theft every now and then,  but is smart/wise enough to know when something is "out of your league"  level bad news... </li> </ul>  The Situation  <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A party member (Very, very, very effective front line combat  character) has come into possession of a magical weapon of significant  power, however it has some concerning functions </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The weapon appears to, well, eat souls when it kills things, with  different effects based on which side is used (Fears whole party, makes  "treasure", etc...) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Can't know for sure, but said character has referred to the  weapon "talking" to them at least once, and seems inclined to do what it  asks </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Additional effects get kinda wonky based on combinations of  kills, I'm talking serious transformative magic here... (Hint: Wings?) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Party hasn't really had the chance to investigate the item  magically in an effective manner because that would involve removing it  from its current wielders possession, which they don't think would be a  great idea..... </li> </ul>  Background Info  <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Weapon has potential connection to at least a minion of the BBEG  due to it's particular "side effects" on kill and the fact that it deals  with soul magics. Knowledge is limited apart from that </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">BBEG has been beaten back before, but it's looking more and more  like he's coming back for another round, and at least as strong if not  stronger... </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Weapon has tacit approval from organizational higher-ups, I have  no idea in heck why, but am working on making that not the case... </li> </ul>  So, any ideas, thoughts, clever and/or maniacal plans? What would you do in this situation?</blockquote>
