Thunderstrike is a mighty warhammer crafted by Fyren Ashenscale during a fierce thunderstorm, a challenge issued by Ulfnir Rockmane to test Fyren's skill with lightning. The weapon's handle is crafted from sturdy oak and the finest metals, providing a firm grip for its wielder. The head of the warhammer is forged from a mix of iron and enchanted steel, granting it both durability and the ability to channel lightning. Crackling with electric energy, Thunderstrike is a fearsome weapon to behold, its power evident to all who lay eyes upon it.
Due to its rarity, craftsmanship, and magical properties, Thunderstrike is valued at approximately 15,000 gold pieces. However, its true worth may be higher to those who understand the value of wielding lightning in battle.
Attunement:
To attune to Thunderstrike, one must spend a short rest wielding the weapon and attuning themselves to its magical energy. This process involves focusing on the thunderous power within the warhammer, allowing the wielder to establish a connection with its lightning enchantment.
Special Abilities:
- Lightning Enchantment: Thunderstrike deals an additional 1d8 lightning damage on each successful hit. This damage is not multiplied on a critical hit.
- Thunderous Resonance: While attuned to Thunderstrike, you have resistance to lightning damage.
- Thunderous Strike: As an action, you can unleash a bolt of lightning from Thunderstrike at a target within 60 feet of you. The target must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d8 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. After using this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
- Electrifying Presence: The crackling energy emanating from Thunderstrike gives you advantage on Intimidation checks made against creatures vulnerable to lightning damage.
- Weight of Thunder: Thunderstrike is a heavy weapon, requiring a Strength score of 18 or higher to wield effectively. If you do not meet this requirement, you have disadvantage on attack rolls made with Thunderstrike.
