Odd Things


Trollslayer

Forged: Unknown
Enchanted: Unknown
Appearance: Trollslayer is a small disk (1" in diameter), with five curved 5" protrusions with retractable blades. Each protrusion has a scaly texture, and is somewhat similar in appearance to a birds leg. The protrusions are light gold and the center disk has a black hematite finish. The retractable blades are very shiny (like chrome). The blades are extended and withdrawn by applying pressure on the hematite in a squeezing motion (like holding it and clenching your whole fist around the weapon).
Type:
Special Abilities:
Trollslayer is meant to be a throwing weapon. It is +5 to hit, and it's path may be controlled to a great degree by the throwers outstretched arm. Any damage inflicted by this weapon cannot heal. Even if thrown softly, it spins at an incredible rate of speed, allowing it to cut through many substances (the blades, despite their appearance are constructed of adamantite)
If necessary, it may be used as a melee weapon, but at a severe disadvantage; it loses its +5 bonus to hit (but will still affect creatures only hit by magical weapons), and inflicts only 1d4 damage. Likewise, this damage will not heal.
Normally, Trollslayer will inflict 5d4 of damage. If used against regenerating creatures, it inflicts 4d6 damage.
Regenerating creatures will instinctively fear this weapon (save at -5 or flee in fear). This effect extends to a 15' radius (which makes it hard to sneak up on regenerating creatures)
