Calamity
1d12S/P·Martial·Sword·Two-handed
Runes +1, striking
Hewn from a solid block of ensorcelled stone, this +1 striking greatsword is monumental in heft as well as destructive force. The weapon is named for the disbelieving leaders of the Seventh Army of Exploration, who denied the power of such a weapon and claimed their losses came from natural disasters. When wielded against creatures that are larger than you, the sword gains the sweep trait.
Activate—Shatter Legions ◆◆ (earth)
Frequency once per day
Effect You smash the sword down upon the ground with the anger of a conquered land and a subjugated people. Each creature in a 30-foot cone takes 4d12 piercing damage with a DC 24 reflex save as the earth shatters beneath their feet. Until the beginning of your next turn, you gain the benefits of standard cover from the broken soil around you.
