Soulbinder

A relic from the Celestial Codex.

Description

This foul, sentient blade is an unholy terror of legendary proportions. It bestows upon the bearer a enhanced form of Reanimation. Soulbinder is a massive Hardened and Imbued two-handed greatsword and comes with six (or more, at the reeve’s discretion) purple headbands. Any time Soulbinder’s owner slays a victim, the owner may choose to enslave the target to the sword’s dark will. The owner gives his victim and headband, says something suitably evil (“You are now my zombie slave!” or “Rise and serve the Dark Master!” or somesuch) and the victim returns to life (as though Resurrected) as a minion of the blade. This effect works on all classes (and some Monsters, consult a reeve) regardless of immunities. The victim must serve Soulbinder’s owner to the best of his or her ability, for the entirety of that life. Once slain, the victim returns to their original team.
