This month is Swordtember. I’m going to try to draw a sword every day for the month. If I manage to keep this going for the whole month, I’ll release all 30 sword images (minus the frame and Swordtember logo I drew) as an incidental stock art pack.
Simply named “the Soldier” but generally referred to as the Smouldering Blade of Khtæn this Yán Koryáni sword trails steam-like white wisps behind it wherever it goes. It is a sword +2, +4 vs creatures that regenerate (and prevents regeneration by any creature that cannot regenerate wounds caused by fire or acid).
(The design of this blade is based on a drawing by David Sutherland of Yán Koryáni troops from the 1977 “Legions of the Petal Throne”.)

That’s a nasty looking blade! Puncture and Slashing!
I think I would add +1d6 Fire or +1d6 Acid to this blade’s attacks, with the additional bonus of stopping regen for 1d4 rounds against any creature that can normally regen.
for modern D&D maybe, but tripling the damage of a weapon is a bit extreme for classic D&D.
I dislike the look of the blade (looks fairly unbalanced) but the smoldering is definitely money. Good work.
The design is strictly Empire of the Petal Throne. Most swords are made of Chlen hide and are often forked, wavy, spiky, serrated, or all of the above.
Ah…interesting. I own EPT but have never played it and am not well-versed in its lore. Thanks!
