Notes:
Graz’zt’s Honeyed Edict (Vicious Whip)
Weapon (whip), rare
Martial weapon (melee), 3 lb.
Damage: 1d4 slashing
Properties: Finesse, Reach
Mastery: Slow
This weapon is a length of living shadow that coils around her thigh like a lacy garter when at rest. When she reaches for it, the “garter” unspools into a sleek black whip edged in ember-red, its handle shaped like the sigil of Graz’zt. The barbed tip resembles the spade of her own tail.
It exudes a faint scent of perfume and brimstone, and a soft, teasing whisper in Abyssal rides each crack of the lash—often repeating whatever blasphemy or promise she just spoke.
Extra Damage. This magic weapon deals an extra 2d6 slashing damage to any creature it hits. The wounds it leaves briefly form curling, abyssal script before bleeding normally.
Finesse. When making an attack with this weapon, you use your choice of Strength or Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls (the same modifier for both).
Reach. Your reach with this weapon is 5 feet greater than normal, including for opportunity attacks.
Mastery — Slow. When you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to it, you can suffuse the pain with decadent lethargy, reducing that creature’s Speed by 10 feet until the start of your next turn. Being hit multiple times by weapons with this property doesn’t reduce its Speed by more than 10 feet.
Abyssal Messenger’s Mark (Flavor).
Those struck by the Honeyed Edict swear they hear a second voice layered beneath hers—Graz’zt’s own—planting half-remembered desires and commands. When she uses the whip to “sign” a message in the air or along a wall, the lines briefly glow like fresh scratches before fading, leaving the words imprinted only in the minds of those who witnessed it.
