# Sword of Sharpness > [!info] Item Details > | | | > |---|---| > | **Category** | Weapons | > | **Rarity** | Very Rare | > | **Attunement** | Yes | > | **Source** | DMG p.206 | > | **Type** | Any sword that deals slashing damage | --- ## Description When you attack an object with this magic sword and hit, maximize your weapon damage dice against the target. When you attack a creature with this weapon and roll a 20 on the attack roll, that target takes an extra 14 slashing damage. Then roll another d20. If you roll a 20, you lop off one of the target's limbs, with the effect of such loss determined by the GM. If the creature has no limb to sever, you lop off a portion of its body instead. In addition, you can speak the sword's command word to cause the blade to shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. Speaking the command word again or sheathing the sword puts out the light. --- ## Properties - Against objects: **maximize weapon damage dice** on a hit. - On a **critical hit** (natural 20): **+14 slashing damage**; roll another d20 — on another 20, sever a limb. - Command word: shed **bright light (10 ft)** and **dim light (10 ft)**. - Requires attunement.
