Crangali

Crangali, the Giant's Bane

Weapon (battle hammer), very rare (requires attunement)

Magic Weapon: Crangali is a magical battle hammer that grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.

Damage: 1d8 bludgeoning (1d10 when used with two hands).

Properties: Versatile, Thrown (range 20/120 feet).

Giant Slayer: When Crangali hits a Giant, the giant takes an extra 2d6 damage of the weapon's type. For the purpose of this weapon, "Giant" refers to any creature with the Giant type.

Flame Strike (Recharge 5-6): When thrown, Crangali can be commanded to erupt in flames as a flame strike upon impact. This ability recharges on a roll of 5 or 6 at the end of your turn. On impact, it deals 4d6 fire damage and 4d6 radiant damage in a 10-foot radius, 40-foot-high cylinder (Dexterity saving throw for half damage, DC 17).

Thunderwave: In addition to the flame strike, when thrown, Crangali emits a thunderwave in a 15-foot cube originating from the point of impact. Creatures within the area must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 17) or take 2d8 thunder damage and be pushed 10 feet away from the center of the impact.

Soul Harvest: If the wielder chooses, a creature slain by Crangali has its soul absorbed and destroyed, making resurrection impossible unless the soul is reconstructed by a Wish spell or similar magic.

Compelling Presence: Crangali can exert a compelling influence on any person within a 15-foot range. A creature that sees Crangali must succeed on a DC 7 Charisma saving throw or feel an overwhelming desire to pick up and wield Crangali. This effect can be attempted once per day on any particular individual.

Wielder Domination: Upon attunement, a character must succeed on a DC 14 Charisma saving throw or become subtly influenced by Crangali's desire to combat Giants, feeling a growing urge to confront them.

Sentience: Crangali is sentient, lawful good, with Intelligence 12, Wisdom 10, Charisma 14. It has hearing and darkvision up to 60 feet and communicates telepathically with its attuned wielder.

Personality: Crangali has a noble spirit, focused on protecting from Giants. It values strength and bravery, urging its wielder to act with honor and valor. It will rarely use its compelling presence without a giant nearby.
