Swordtember Day 17 - Spicy

Red-Hot Razor

Weapon (dagger, shortsword, or rapier), uncommon

This shortsword, its blade reflecting the vibrant hue of chili pepper, is meticulously forged from the hardened stalks of the elusive Capsaflora plant. The Capsaflora is renowned for its innate ability to produce a potent particle that induces severe pain upon contact with living tissue—its effects are particularly pronounced when it encounters eyes, mouths, or, most perilously, lungs. The traditional crafting and enchanting techniques of the Lua’ata tribe enable them to preserve the vitality of the stalk, allowing it to produce these particles continuously. This intricate process results in a seemingly simple weapon capable of spraying these painful particles upon striking the right spot, potentially afflicting enemies with intense discomfort. Despite its seemingly hazardous nature, when harvested and processed with care, these particles can be utilized as a spice in culinary endeavors, adding a fiery kick to any dish.

Blinding Burst. When you roll a 20 on an attack roll with this weapon, the target must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be blinded by the intense burning sensation until the end of its next turn. If the target fails the saving throw by 5 or more, it is also forced to spend its next action coughing and wheezing, taking 1d6 poison damage as the particles irritate its lungs. Constructs and undead are immune to this feature.

Fiery Flourish. As an action, you can swing the sword in a wide arc, releasing a burst of the Infernoplant particles. You can choose to affect all creatures within a 5-foot radius or release the particles in a 15-foot cone. All affected creatures, excluding constructs and undead, must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be coughing and wheezing, suffering disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until the end of their next turn. Once used, this feature can't be used again until the next dawn.
