Show to Players

Weapon (rapier), legendary (requires attunement)

This elegant silver rapier once belonged to Sir Magnus Corven, First Blade of Lemuria. Its ornate guard is traced with pale runes that brighten whenever steel is drawn in earnest.

The weapon contains the soul and personality of Magnus Corven.

Weapon Properties

• You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon.
• On a hit, the rapier deals an additional dice:1d8 1d8 force damage.
• The rapier can be used as an arcane spellcasting focus.
• While wielding it and not incapacitated, you gain +1 AC.
• You have advantage on checks and saving throws made to resist being disarmed.

Master’s Tempo

Once on each of your turns, when you hit a creature that either:

• missed you with an attack since the end of your previous turn, or
• has already been hit by you during the current turn,

the attack deals an additional dice:2d8 2d8 force damage.

After the attack, you may move up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks from that creature.

Perfect Riposte

When a creature within 5 feet misses you with a melee attack, you may use your reaction to make one attack with the rapier against it.

On a hit, the attack deals an additional dice:3d8 3d8 force damage.

The Measure of a Swordsman

While wielding the rapier and not incapacitated:

• You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects you can see.
• Opportunity attacks against you are made with disadvantage.
• Your movement does not provoke opportunity attacks from a creature you have hit with the rapier during the current turn.

Corven’s Final Measure

1/Long Rest. As an action, you move up to your speed without provoking opportunity attacks and make five attacks with this rapier. You may move between attacks and distribute the attacks among creatures you can reach.

A creature cannot be targeted by more than two of these attacks.

This ability is not a spell.

Sentience

The rapier is a sentient lawful good weapon.

• Intelligence 16
• Wisdom 18
• Charisma 18

It has hearing and darkvision out to 120 feet and communicates telepathically with its attuned wielder.

Its sentience is Sir Magnus Corven.

Magnus is aristocratic, relentlessly critical of poor technique, proud of true mastery, and deeply concerned with honorable combat. He admires restraint, precision, worthy opponents, and sparing defeated foes.

Magnus does not normally prevent the wielder from using the weapon merely because he dislikes a tactic. He reserves outright refusal for acts he considers truly disgraceful, such as murdering helpless prisoners, deliberate betrayal during an accepted duel, or cruelty for pleasure.

Personality

Magnus often comments on stance, timing, footwork, and swordsmanship.

“Your left foot is too far forward.”
