Lava Flail

Weapon

Rare None

The lava flail is a trick weapon developed by the expert smiths of Dwivunder. Enchantments on the flail head allow it to store a small amount of lava, to be unleashed when the wielder triggers the ventilation holes to open up by rotating a mechanism on the handle, allowing the lava to spill out as the flail is swung in a wide arc. The vents can be opened and closed using a bonus action.

Make a strength based attack roll, adding your proficiency only if you are proficient with martial melee weapons or flails. All creatures within 10ft in the arc of the swing must make a contested dexterity saving throw against the attack, if the vents are open. On a failed save, the targets take 3d10 lava damage and an additional 1d12 bludgeoning damage. On a success the target takes half lava damage and no bludgeoning damage.

Once the lava flail has been used 3 times, it must be refilled with lava, otherwise it can be used as an ordinary flail which deals 1d12 bludgeoning damage and uses normal attack/AC rules.

The lava flail is reinforced with Flail Snail shell, which allows it to hold lava without the lava melting the metal.
