Message: <blockquote data-quote="epithet" data-source="post: 6728905" data-attributes="member: 6796566">Try this out:The Edge of the WoodsWeapon (greatsword), rare (requires attunement)This greatsword is carved from a single piece of bronzewood, with the quillons sculpted to resemble mistletoe twined with holly. A line of runic script runs down each side of the blade. The wood of this magical weapon is imbued with nature's power. You can use Wisdom instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of melee attacks using The Edge of the Woods.Prophecy. The Edge of the Woods features in a prophecy: its bearer is destined to play a key role in future events. Someone else who wants to play that role might try to steal the item, or someone who wants to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled might try to kill the item's bearer.Conscientious. When the bearer of The Edge of the Woods contemplates or undertakes cutting down a tree or killing a beast other than for food, the item enhances pangs of conscience.Blissful. While in possession of The Edge of the Woods, the bearer feels fortunate and optimistic about what the future holds. Butterflies and other harmless creatures might frolic in the item 's presence.This offers a number of advantages over just a finesse greatsword, including the fact that it uses Wis (a ranger's 2nd stat) instead of Dex, and so is less likely to be pilfered by a rogue. The prophecy could be the thing that leads the party to the sword, believing that it is the only thing that can permanently destroy the BBEG. The minor properties encourage role-playing. Also, you're not just giving the ranger a free upgrade, since the ranger would have to tie up an attunement slot to use the weapon.</blockquote>
