Parguk, Trident of Submission

Parguk, Trident of Submission, created with Bing Image Creator, released under a CC0 license.

A fearsome-looking trident with a single, large, glowing, red gemstone set just below the tines, and the word Parguk etched in orcish on the shaft.

  • +1 to attack and damage rolls (1d6+1 / 1d8+1).
  • On a successful hit, wielder can speak the command word (Parguk) as a free action.
    • The target must Save vs Spells or become demoralized for 2d4 rounds.
    • This triggers a Usage die check.
  • Demoralized targets must immediately make a morale check (roll under) or surrender.

Usage Die

  • Starts at d12.
  • After each use, roll the current die, and on a 1-2, the die drops one step (d12 -> d10 -> d8 -> d6 -> d4 -> 1), as the glow becomes dimmer.
  • When no more charges are left, it becomes inert.
