Astraia, Sword of Justice

It’s time to talk about the Seven Sword of Virtue. If the Seven Swords of Sin do exist, then their good counterparts must exist too. And a Sword of Just-ice must thaw ice. What do you think? Long live the Boss!

Astraia is a +5 thawing greatsword with a platinum handle and guard; its blade glitters as pure diamond. Any evil character trying to wield the blade suffers the effects of burning disarm (cold damage, 5d4 hp), in addition to taking a negative level as long as she holds it.

While bearing the weapon, the wielder is immune to all charm and compulsion effects. Three times per day, the wielder can utter a word that marks a creature as a wrongdoer, as mark of justice, except that, rather than being cursed, the target is restrained as by a shackle spell when the mark activates. Once per day, when the sword scores a critical hit, the target must make a DC 25 Will save or be affected by binding (chaining or hedged prison version).

Destruction

Astraia crumbles into grey dust if used to kill or restrain a hundred innocent people, knowingly and deliberately (not under any duress, blackmail, or enchantment effect).
