Warmind Wand

Wand - rare - requires attunement

This wand is made from the shattered hilt and jawbone of a defeated warband leader. It has 7 charges for the following properties and regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wand’s last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand releases a small gasp of breath as its magic escapes it, leaving the wand a nonmagical and mundane sword hilt.

While holding the wand, you can use it to command and bolster your allies by extending 1 or more of its charges to use the following properties:

Warband Strike. When you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your attacks and expend 1 charge as a bonus action to direct one of your allies to attack. When you do, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you. That creature can immediately use its reaction to make one weapon attack.

Form Ranks. You can expend 1 charge as an action to command one of your allies to move to a more advantageous position and bolster their resolve. When you do, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you. That creature gains 2d4 + 2 temporary hit points that last for 1 minute and can use its reaction to move up to half its speed, without provoking opportunity attacks.

Forced Endurance. When a friendly creature other than you within 30 feet that can see or hear you is reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction and expend 2 charges to prevent that creature from falling unconscious and drop to 1 hit point instead. Once this property has been used on a creature, that creature can’t benefit from it again until it finishes a long rest.

Unyielding Critical. When a friendly creature other than you within 30 feet that can see or hear you scores a critical hit, you can use your reaction and expend 1 charge to amplify the brutality of the attack and add an extra 2d4 damage to the total of the attack’s damage roll.

"By the blood of our enemies that have come before you, we will strike you, and those that follow you, down! Your skulls will be our trophies, and we will take pride in your defeat! To arms!"
