Description

This intelligent +2 warhammer made of onyx contains the soul of Cruuf’xk, a demon of lies and temptations. Cruuf’xk’s influence is strong; it telepathically whispers lies to you. It tells you that your so-called friends neither respect nor admire you. Your only true friend is Cruuf’xk, for you are bonded by blood and battle.

Three times per day as a free action when you hit with this weapon, you may call upon Cruuf’xk to inflict an additional 2d6 negative energy damage to your target.

The first time you use the warhammer in any combat, you must make a DC 14 Will saving throw. On a failed save, you submit to the corrupt and morally abhorrent suggestions made by Cruuf’xk for ten minutes. These might include attacking friends, stealing a sacred object, or looting money from children. The warhammer’s depths of depravity know no bounds.
