Lamentation of the Faithless
ITEM 25The weapon wielded in battle by Szuriel, Rider of War, is a perpetually blood-covered blade that has taken more lives than even the gods can count. Lamentation of the Faithless is a +4 major striking quickstrike unholy greatsword with a blade of unyielding jet-black steel that absorbs all incident light, counteracting all light effects in a 15-foot radius with a +37 modifier as long as the weapon is unsheathed. Any creature within range attempting to use a spell or ability with the light trait must first succeed at a DC 15 flat check, or the attempt fails. Whenever the blade strikes and deals damage to a living creature, its wielder regains 1d12 healing Hit Points.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature is stricken by crushing despair. It becomes Slowed 1 as it sobs uncontrollably, and it can't use reactions while it's slowed.
Failure As success, but the creature is also Blinded for 1 round.
Critical Failure As failure, but the duration of the blinded condition is 1 minute.
Destruction Lamentation of the Faithless can only be destroyed if it's driven into the ground within the walls of the secluded garden at the summit of Heaven's mountain by a risen, repentant fiend, whereupon it shatters and crumbles to dust.
