Chardalyn Weapons¶
Description and use¶
Campaign source: Icewind Dale - Rime of the Frostmaiden, original fifth-edition rules. Campaign-specific mechanics below are separate from the revised core wiki.
Tainted chardalyn weapons. A chardalyn berserker wields one or more weapons made wholly or partly out of chardalyn that has been tainted by demonic magic. Battleaxes, flails, javelins, and spears are favored weapons, though other weapons are possible. A character who claims one or more of these weapons can be corrupted by them. Each day at dawn, roll a d6 for each such weapon in the character’s possession. On a roll of 1, the character must succeed on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or become an evil NPC under the DM’s control, unless the character is evil already. This alignment change can be undone by any magic that ends a curse, but after ten days, it can be reversed only by a wish spell or divine intervention.
A creature wounded by one of these chardalyn weapons can feel a sudden sickness creep over them, but it passes quickly.
