Ascalon, Platinum Sword of Bahamut

T

he sword of Bahamut, Ascalon was forged and weaved by an expert and most trusted forge domain cleric of Bahamut using the very scales of the platinum dragon throughout the entire frame, from top to bottom, with radient blue energy visably pulsating through the swords etchings on the hilt, patterns on the blade, and it's 2 jewels, one embedded in the center of the hilt in a diamond shape, the other spherical in shape embedded in the pommel. Ascalon's etchings are text written in draconic that display the swords current state of "legacy". Ascalons energy seems to also change color depending on the users current state of mind. This sword also starts to glow a bright light of blue energy when the sword is within 100 feet of a chromatic dragon or wyvern. This sword was forged with the intent to find and bond with a user worthy of Bahamut's attention and send them off towards the battle for justice and to face Tiamat and her followers. Per chance the current user of Ascalon dies or passess away of old age, the sword is returned to Bahamut and awaits for the sword's call for a new wielder, whether it is a champion of Bahamut or some commoner from the country side, the user must pick up the calls of Ascalon.

Ascalon

Ascalon has a minor legacy, a Modorate legacy, and a greater legacy. The minor legacy must be completed before the moderate, and the Moderate before the greater if the wielder is to unlock Ascalon's full potential.

Minor Legacy

The platinum sword Ascalon was forged out of the very scales of Bahamut, which have imbued the sword with a semi-sentience to remind the user that diplomacy is always an option. On a successful persuasion roll against a creature of a CR of 7 or higher, Ascalon will recognize the users intent and objective, rewarding the user proficiency in the persuasion skill as long as Ascalon is on it's person as well as gaining advantage on persuasion skill checks when speaking to a draconic entity. If the user is already proficient in the skill then the proficiency bonus is doubled. The user of Ascalon is also gifted to be able to read, speak, and write Draconic if the user isn't already fluent.

Moderate Legacy

Ascalon's sole intention was to slay draconic forces that would disrupt the peace of the world with evil intent. If the user helps to slay a chromatic dragon, wyvern or any other draconic entity of at least a CR of 7 in an encounter of a CR 12 enemies or higher, Ascalon's limits will reach new heights, becoming a +2 longsword and giving the user immunity to Cold damage while the sword is on it's person.

Greater Legacy

Greater Legacy

When the time is right, Bahamut will speak to the user either personally or through Ascalon to go on a important holy mission, if successful the user will be gifted Ascalon's true potential. When the user completes Bahamut's quest by killing or destroying a quarry of Tiamat's plans or allies thats a CR of 17 or higher, Ascalon will ascend to become the Exalted Ascalon. In the users hands, Exalted Ascalon becomes a +3 longsword and once during an attack action the user can make a 30 foot cone based attack that deals 3d10 Cold damage on top of the weapons damage and every creature in the cone must make a DC 17 Constitution Saving Throw or be frozen solid for 1 turn. Alternatively, the user can perform a 30 foot cone based attack that deals 3d10 Radiant damage on top of the weapons damage and any creatures in the cone must make a DC 17 Dexterity Saving Throw or take an additional 1d10 Radiant damage(Undead creatures have disadvantage on the saving throw). This Attack can only be used once and cannot be used again until after a long rest.
