[Arcane] Chained Ambition

Weapon (Spiked Cestus), Rare

Component: Beast (wolf) phial of blood

According to the matriarchs of the Scarletwolf Clan, the mark of a true leader is being willing to get her own hands dirty. When a prospective leader comes of age, she must forge her own cesti and draw first blood with them in ritual combat, seasoning them for a lifetime’s legacy of blood.

These cesti always come in pairs. They have the Scourge property.

Bloodhound. Whenever you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with this weapon or for its Sweeping Judgment property against a creature that doesn’t have all of its Hit Points, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll.

Sweeping Judgment. As an action while wielding both cesti, you can swing them out to their full length in a circle around you. Creatures within 10 feet of you must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d6 Bludgeoning or Piercing damage (your choice) on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Once this property has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Crushing Control. When you hit a creature no more than one size larger than you with this weapon, you can choose to deal no damage and instead bind the creature with the chains. While chained in this way, a creature can’t move away from you, and when you move, you can drag it with you, but your Speed is halved. Additionally, you can use a Bonus Action to swing the chains, moving a bound creature to any unoccupied space within 10 feet of you. A creature can use an action to make a DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check, freeing itself or another creature within reach from the chains on a success.

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

Very rare variant: Increase the DCs to 16 and the damage to 7d6. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with these magic weapons.
