Argo-Thaan, Holy Avenger
There are many swords in this world, but there is only one Argo-thaan. It is a blade of gold, silver and light, revered as a holy relic by all orders and religions for whom Good rings true. Its touch is a blessing and to many, the sight of it brings tears of joy.
In the hands of a Paladin, it strikes true and strong. A Paladin wielding it increases their Damage die to d12 and has access to every Paladin move. As well, Argo-thaan can harm any creature of Evil, regardless of any Defenses it may have. No Evil creature may touch it without suffering agony. In the hands of any non-paladin, it is merely a sword, heavier and more cumbersome than most—it gains the awkward tag.
Argo-thaan, while not intelligent, will forever be drawn to a cause of true Good, like iron to a magnet.
