This unique greathammer is the signature weapon of Eslo Lightfoot, and was made by his late friend Eddard McHayden from the head of a maul used by a Giant sheep rustler the two apprehended while they were adventuring together, the head of which turned out to be a meteorite, hence the Shepherd's Crook being made of extremely rare star iron. In Eslo's older years though, it was more commonly used as a walking staff and, unsurprisingly, a shepherd's crook.
Shepherd's Crook
Abilities
Unorganised
Bash - Weapon
A weapon with this property is especially devastating on a lucky hit. When the wielder lands a critical hit with this weapon, they may cause a limb on a living creature to go numb, causing one of the following effects:
- One of the creature's arms goes numb. Any weapons used by that arm may not be used on the wielder's next attack action, and if that arm is bearing a shield, then the creature loses that shield's AC bonus until the end of their next turn.
- One of the creature's legs is numbed, cutting their land speed in half until the end of their next turn.
- The target's wing goes numb, preventing them from flying until the end of their next turn. If they are flying already, then they fall to the ground harmlessly.
If a creature lacks one of the listed limbs, then they may not be targeted by that particular effect.
Blessed - Weapon
This weapon has been touched by the divine and can be a spiritual link to The Four. This weapon gives you an advantage on Religion checks and on checks to use Divine magic or prayers to the Gods.
Crushing - Weapon
When you miss an enemy's AC by 2 or less you deal your strength modifier Bludgeoning damage to the opponent.
Staggering - Weapon
This weapon's force is weighted to disrupt a target's movement. Each time this weapon deals damage to a creature, that creature's movement is slowed by 5ft until the beginning of their next turn.
Unwieldy - Weapon
This weapon is extremely heavy and difficult to use in combat, either because it was not intended to be a weapon or is meant to be intended for something much bigger than you. You have disadvantage on rolls to hit with this weapon. When combat finishes and you have made an attack with this weapon, you gain one level of Fatigue.
