The weapon secretly fears its own destruction. In my campaign, unable to destroy the sun sword, he sent it out of Barovia via the Vistani.
#CURSE OF STRAHD SUN SWORD FREE#
The Sunsword’s special purpose is to destroy Strahd, not so much because it wants to free the land of Barovia from evil but because it wants revenge for the loss of its crystal blade. The weapon communicates by transmitting emotions to the creature carrying or wielding it. It has hearing and normal vision out to a range of 60 feet. The Sunsword is a sentient chaotic good weapon with an Intelligence of 11, a Wisdom of 17, and a Charisma of 16. It has, however, gained the properties of a sun blade. The hilt, which is sentient, knows that it can never be reunited with its original crystal blade. The first part of the process required the hilt and the blade to be separated, which Khazan accomplished. Strahd employed a powerful wizard named Khazan to destroy the weapon after Sergei’s death. Ive replaced the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind with the Icon of Ravenloft because the Icons abilities better fit the theme of this game and a paralyzed Strahd isnt much fun. In its original form, it had a platinum hilt and guard, and a thin crystal blade as strong as steel. To help them kill Strahd, the characters must seek out three powerful artifacts hidden within the castle including the Sun Sword, the Icon of Ravenloft, and the Tome of Strahd. To avoid the vampire’s wrath, Khazan told Strahd that the entire weapon had been destroyed. The Sunsword is a unique blade once possessed by Strahd’s brother, Sergei von Zarovich. Khazan later located his apprentice’s mutilated corpse in the Svalich Woods, but the hilt was nowhere to be found. He was a military man and is usually shown with a sword. Yeah, but I do actually see him as a melee fighter. That said, Strahd doesnt have to get into melee combat. While Khazan was busying himself destroying the blade, his apprentice stole the hilt and fled. The Sun Blade is intended to be OP within the context of the adventure, its intended to be 'If you cant find this thing you lose'. In its original form, it had a platinum hilt and guard, and a thin crystal blade as strong as steel. This card tells of a powerful force for good and protection, a holy symbol of great hope. The treasure you seek is hidden behind the sun, in the house of a saint. The Sunsword is a unique blade once possessed by Strahd’s brother, Sergei von Zarovich. Knowledge of the ancient will help you better understand your enemy. The Sunsword is a unique blade once possessed by Strahd’s brother, Sergei von Zarovich.
