Insult & Injury

Weapon (greatclub or maul), rare (requires attunement)

Component: Fey horn

A Fey prince once tasked a pair of satyr brothers with composing a song together, in order to worsen their fabled rivalry. The satyrs couldn’t even agree on the first note, but when they realised the prince’s true intent, they cut off their horns, carving musical motifs into them, and crafted them into an instrument that they used to mock and ridicule the prince.

You have a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. This weapon has 6 charges and regains 1d4 + 2 expended charges daily at dawn.

Taunting Tune. When you hit a creature with an attack using this weapon, you can expend 1 charge to taunt the target with a mocking note. Until the start of your next turn, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you.

Schadenfreude. When a hostile creature you can see within 30 feet of you misses with an attack roll or fails an ability check or saving throw, you can use your reaction to expend up to 3 charges to ridicule the target, revelling in its misfortune and gaining 2d6 temporary hit points for each charge expended.

---------------------------------------

Uncommon variant: Reduce the attack and damage bonus to +1, the charges to 4, and the recharge to 1d4. The weapon doesn’t have the Schadenfreude property.

Very rare variant: The weapon has the Showstopper property.

• Showstopper. When you hit a creature with an attack using this weapon, you can expend up to 3 charges. The target must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 2d6 thunder damage for each expended charge and is incapacitated until the start of your next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't incapacitated. If the target was subjected to the Taunting Tune property since the start of your last turn, it has disadvantage on its saving throw. Once this property is used, it can't be used again until the next dawn.
