Beschreibung
The black pommel of Baron Uthrak's longsword is set with nine bloodstone gems: three gray and six red.
You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. When you hit with an attack roll using it, the target takes an extra 1d6 necrotic damage.
Bloodstones
The sword has 3 charges left, one for each gray bloodstone.
When you fail a saving throw while holding this sword, you can expend 1 charge to succeed instead (no action required). When you do so, you take 2d6 necrotic damage, which can't be reduced in any way, and the sword drains some of your blood into one of the remaining gray bloodstones, turning the stone red.
The sword loses this property while it has no charges remaining.
When you deal damage to a Dragon with Nine Lives while the sword has fewer than 9 charges, the sword regains 1 charge and one of the sword's red bloodstones turns gray. Once the sword has regained a charge in this way, it can't do so again until the next dawn.
Extra Lives
If you wish, you can tailor Nine Lives' Bloodstones property to your own campaign by changing the creature type that restores its charges from Dragon to Aberration, Celestial, Fey, Fiend, or another type.
