“This Sorocaban shortsword was crafted by a conclave of hunters who make their home in the jungle. The metal of the blade is purposely grooved and lightly pitted, to help it absorb the deadly toxins perpetually secreted by the sheath made of frog skins.”
Deadly Beauty - When you hit a creature with an attack roll with this magical weapon, the creature must make a DC15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 2d6 Poison damage and is Paralyzed until the end of their next turn.
On an attack roll of 20, the poison is delivered to a vital area, killing the creature instantly. If the creature is Immune to poison damage or the poisoned condition, they are immune to this effect.
Protective Poison - If a creature not attuned to this weapon attempts to pick it up, they must immediately make a DC15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure they take 4d6 Poison damage and are Paralyzed. While paralyzed, the creature cannot drop the sword willingly, and must continue to make the saving throw each round until they succeed, taking 4d6 Poison damage each time they fail.
