Plague Censers

New Weapon: Plague Censer

These insidious weapons have the appearance of a ceremonial censer used for burning incense, but they are shaped into the form of a flail. Each day, a plague censor can be filled with toxic incense, and as the censor is swung in combat, it unleashes necrotic fumes deadly to all in the vicinity, including the wielder.

Plague Censer

melee weapon (martial, flail)


  • Damage: 1d8
  • Damage Type: Bludgeoning
  • Properties: Heavy, two-handed, reach, special
  • Cost: 50 gp
  • Weight: 3 lb

Plague Censor. When you make an attack with a plague censer, it releases its putrid incense everywhere within 10 feet of you. Each creature in that area takes 1d6 necrotic damage, including the wielder. Once a plague censer releases its putrid incense, it can't do so again until the next round.

The plague censer must be filled every 24 hours with 10gp worth of putrid incense to maintain this trait.

New Feat: Plague Censer Fanatic

You've learned how to develop a supernatural bond with a plague censor, drawing perverse fortitude from it even as you are withered by its toxic fumes, and you can use this bond as a focus for your magical abilities. You gain the following benefits:

  • Increase your Strength or Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20, or gain proficiency with plague censers.

  • As long as you are wielding a plague censer containing putrid incense, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your spells, and you can perform the somatic components of spells even when it is occupying both your hands.

  • When you cast a spell that has somatic components using your plague censer as your spellcasting focus, you may have it release its putrid incense everywhere within 10 feet of you.

  • When you release putrid incense from a plague censer you are wielding, you may have it deal 1d8 necrotic damage rather than 1d6.

  • When you take necrotic damage from a plague censer you are wielding, you get +2 to your AC until the start of your next turn or until you stop wielding the plague censor in both hands.
