Spear of the Thunderer: One-Sided.
🕑 Added 2022-03-12 16:00:05 +0000 UTCGreetings All!
Hopefully this was worth the wait, I realize I absolutely love spears but I had only done an Artifact and a Common one in the past. So looking to sneak some more in for the future.
This is balanced against a Flametongue, as well as an Eldritch Claw Tattoo, which definitely pushed it into a major tier Very Rare while adding some interesting options into play. I really enjoy the element it brings forward. I’ll see if it needs to be dialed back before we are through with edits.
Would love to hear your thoughts with the build and mechanics.
Updates: Cracks highlighted and Lineart Recolor. Fixed Mislabel.
Truly, as always and ever sincerely, Thank You.

Description:
Few weapons possess the sound of fury but this spear is one. Its origins are ever unclear, but its effects are undeniable. It bites and cracks at the air with every thrust, forming sound into floating shards that then burst and shatter with the echoes of thunder. It seems to make the very air tremble, as it should.
Tabs:
- The user gains +2 bonus to Attack and Damage Rolls made with this weapon.
- This weapon holds 3 Charges and regains all expended charges at Dawn.
- Thunder’s Bite: 1 Charge - As a Bonus Action, the user can activate the blade sheathing it in violet crystals. These deal an extra 1d8 Thunder damage on hit, and rumblings of thunder can be heard up to 60ft away. This effect lasts for 1 Minute unless ended early.
- Thrust: While Thunder’s Bite is activated, this weapon has a 10ft Reach.
- Thunderous Sweep: As an Action, the user can sweep the spear through the air, launching the wave of crystals. All creatures in a 30ft Cone must make a DC:16 Constitution Saving Throw. On a Failed save, a creature takes 4d8 thunder damage and is pushed 10 feet away from the user. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't pushed. Use of this feature ends the Thunder’s Bite effect early.
- While attuned, the user is able to sense the location and severity of storms within 10 miles.
