in the dawn's gray light 
And men and demons 
knelt down before. 
The Mindsword flashed

It spun in the twilight dim as well 
And gods and men marched off to hell*

None stands to Shieldbreaker. 
My point's the fount of orphans' tears 
My edge the widowmaker.*

But doth the spirit carve 
Soulcutter hath no body killed 
But many left to starve.*
>>*The Sword of Siege 
struck a hammer's blow 
With a crash, and a smash, 
and a tumbled wall. 
Stonecleaver laid a castle low 
With a groan, and a roar, 
and a tower's fall.*
>>*Long roads the Sword of Fury makes 
Hard walls it builds around the soft 
The fighter who Townsaver takes 
Can bid farewell to home and croft.*
>>*Who holds Wayfinder 
finds good roads 
Its master's step is brisk. 
The Sword of Wisdom 
lightens loads 
But adds unto their risk.*

# The Sword of Chance
Likewise called *The Sword of Fortune*, Coinspinner grants the user supernatural luck, bending all around it to better suit the user.

This happens even while the sword is not being wielded as long as it's on the possession of the used and attuned. The luck brought by Coinspinner ensures that its wielder winds up in an advantageous position, even going so far as to cause misfortune to those who wish them harm.

The Sword is incredibly unreliable, however, as it is not unusual for it to abruptly disappear and seek out a new owner - even at inconvenient times.

>*Who holds Coinspinner   
> knows good Odds  
>Whichever move he make   
>But the Sword of Chance,  
> to please the gods,  
>Slips from him like a snake.*

**Lucky.** While wielding the sword you have an amount of lucky points, as per the *lucky* feat, equal to your proficiency modifier.

**Fickle.** When you roll and 1 in a ability check, skill check, saving throw, attack roll or reroll from a lucky point, you immediately roll another d20 that may not be altered by this sword abilities: On a 1, the sword disappears and your attunement to it ends.

Additionally, every time the sword is unattended, roll a d100: on a 1, the sword disappears, leaving 1gp on it's place.

**Destroying the Sword.** Coinspinner may only be destroyed by Shieldbreaker. If unnattended and hit by Shieldbreaker it's immediately destroyed and if the user would recieve a hit from Shieldbreaker while wielding Coinspinner, roll a d100: on a 1, the sword disappears abandoning you to your fate and on all other results it's destroyed.

# The Sword of Justice

All those who wish harm upon the user are doomed for failure. That's the fate The Sword of Justice decrees, even by falsehood, manipulation or chance, the one with the intent behind it all will have to pay his pound of flesh.

Even so, all must be wary; for The Sword of Justice is heavy. For each fate Doomgiver sends, more weight upon the scales.

>*The Sword of Justice  
 balances the pans   
Of right and wrong,   
and foul and fair.

The fate of all folk   
everywhere.*

On a failure, the user gains 1 level of exhaustion if such wouldn't kill him and the means used to bring him harm are instead brought upon the one who orchestrated the action. On a success, the same happens, but the user doesn't gain a level of exhaustion.

A robber who tried to stab the user, would be stabbed instead, but, a lord who orders his servant to poison the food served to the user would - himself - be poisoned.

The killing stroke comes on it's own, Dragonslicer parts unerringly the scales of the beast and impales it's heart. Even the most feeble of commoners can fell the majestic beast with The Sword of Heroes.

But those who are wise cannot but beware the folly of glory:

"The greater the triumph, the greater the fall."

>*Dragonslicer, Dragonslicer,  
how d'you slay?  
Reaching for the heart  
in behind the scales.  
Dragonslicer, Dragonslicer,  
where d'you stay?  
In the belly of the giant  
that my blade impales*

After such hit, the sword is stuck in the heart of the dragon, dealing 5d10 slashing damage at the beginning of each of his turns. To remove the sword the user must succeed a DC 28 Strength check, but he can still attack the dragon with the sword while it's embedded at it's heart. Removing the blade while the dragon is dead has a DC of 21. Any dragon has disadvantage on this check.

**Hero's Folly.** If a Dragon takes flight while Dragonslicer is embedded on it's heart, it frantically flies twice it's normal speed. If the user didn't immediately abandon the sword after the hit he must succeed a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw or he is carried away along the dragon.
