Fiendbane

Long Sword +3/+5 vs. Outsiders

This is an exceptionally well crafted long sword of unique design. It is beautiful on one side of the blade and hideously brutal on the other reflecting the nature of the beings it is designed to kill. The weapon smith who crafted the hilt outdid himself for the beautiful side has designs of Celestial bodies such as Devas and other Angels. The other shows the Fiends in all their fury and hatred. The way that the two sides come together into one piece is truly outstanding.

The weapon has a few powers to assist in the slaying of the mighty creatures that inhabit the planes, which include:

  • Fiendbane suffers no penalties for moving from the plane of origin, as the weapon was forged and imbued with the essence of all known planes during its construction.
  • When a successful critical hit is scored, while on the Prime Material plane, the sword instantly banishes an Outsider to its plane of origin. No save is allowed and Spell Resistance does not apply.
  • When a successful critical hit is scored, while on any other plane, the Outsider will either be utterly destroyed (on the Outsider's home plane only) or suffer double critical hit damage.
  • Fiend Bane is able to detect the presence of Outsiders within 60' and lets the wielder know whether the Outsiders are Good or Evil by the feelings it imparts to the wielder, who must concentrate to use this power.
  • The sword is highly resistant to the tricks of all Outsiders, whom it was created to destroy, granting its wielder Spell Resistance 30 vs. Outsiders.
