hmmm.
As DM, I'm always looking for ways of creating the potential for highly improbable but incredibly humorous TPKs.
And I think I just found a new toy.
Best part is, the Murder Hobo is going to love it. At least, until, eh, we'll they'll just have to find out.
Give it a quick spin and if you're fast enough, it'll just shake everything a bit but everyone around is going to puke.
Brace your back against a tree and just point at an enemy. They'll fall into the sword.
That's how you end up with a 200lb missile smashing your guts out
Or they cast featherfall and start dropping things on you
How can they drop things on you when you just point the sword the other way?
If you point it the other way, you're not braced anymore and start falling.
You just brace on the other side of the tree at the same time. Swing your arm right and the tree will move around you.
Sure. And imagine trying to swing it at something or stabbing someone with it. They’d get sucked into the sword, sorta.
But.
Interactions with the sword of down is going to be interesting.
Also, there’s shield of upside-down causes it to reverse when it successfully blocks.
Also, there’s a small chance it’ll break at a really inopportune moment.
Don’t forget the sheathes that reverse the blades polarity when they’re angry with the user
You couldn't even hold the sword of down due to the shape.
Sounds like chaos to me.
Make it have an insanely high damage, like 50, 000 dps but since he soon learns a sword is useless if you can't swing it. Bonus points if he gives up his primary weapon to get the up sword so when he learns it's useless he has no weapon
DPS? Do you play your ttrpgs in real time?
I play by mail so it's damage by strike...do you have another meaning?
DPS commonly means 'damage per second' mostly for RPG video games
Yes... That's the joke. I doubt anyone plays a rpg by mail either....
Ah mb, I just assumed mail was just an acronym or something I wasnt aware of
