Roll Tables: Random Magic Swords +1



d10 Roll


Name


Effect
1 Soul Shredder
Looks like a powerful, evil weapon. The blade glows red with an aura of constant black flame with a black hilt, but this is all just a facade. It's convincing enough to force enemies to make a morale check when you draw it or flee for 1d4 rounds or until they realize the sword is not actually powerful. Bardic knowledge will repeat a rumor that Soul Shredder is one of the most powerful swords in the world, but this is a lie deliberately spread by the creator.
2 Ironwood

Forged in an elven style, the blade itself looks as though it were first carved from wood and then magically petrified into metal. This is due to the wood grain pattern upon the blade. Striking a wooden object (not living) has the same effect as a Warp Wood spell upon it. 3 charges, and can be replenished by leaving it impaled in a living tree for 1 turn per charge.
3 Treasure Hound
Very ornate and expensive-looking. It has a gold-plated hilt and a pommel inset with a bright violet gem. This sword will gently vibrate when within 20 yards of a portable object worth 1000 gp or more unknown to the wielder. It will not  detect a collection of coins or gems unless a single one meets the 1000 gp threshold. If your campaign uses the silver system, then have it detect objects worth 1000 silver or more.
4 Riposte
This sword contains the soul of a man who died defending his honor in a duel. It confers a +2 to the weilder's armor class when attacked by an opponent also using a sword. The sword also speaks, and will encourage you to challenge any who disrespects you to a duel, but you need not listen.
5 Broken Holy Avenger
A sword broken halfway up the blade. It confers a -1 to hit, but keeps its +1 to damage. In the hands of a paladin, it becomes a +2 weapon in all respects and glows with a holy light. The sword deals 5 additional damage against demons. It may be possible to re-forge it into a true Holy Avenger +5.
6 Lumos
Glows brightly as if from a Continual Light spell. If thrust into magical darkness, the darkness is dispelled. It does not negatively affect light-sensitive creatures like drow, but they may find the light annoying enough to attack you first.
7 Moon Silver
The blade is polished to a mirror sheen, and looks paler than steel. If a person with lycanthropy looks upon the sword's blade, they will transform into their were-form as though having looked upon a full moon. The sword also deals 3 additional damage against lycanthropes. You'll need it.
8 Finsplitter

With a transparent blade, this sword appears partially invisible when immersed in water. It cuts through water just as easily as if swung through air. There is no penalty for attacking underwater or when swimming using this sword.
9 Gust Maker

Swiping this unassuming sword within 10 yards of a flame no larger than a torch will extinguish it. This may be done as many as three times per round, but only once if an attack is also being made.

10 Dragon's Claw This is indeed made from the claw of a dragon, but the dragon itself must not have had very sharp claws. It is still a serviceable magic weapon, though dragons might make fun of you if they see you with it.
