Grudge Bearer — Check with your DM if your enemies qualify for any of the following grudges, and if so, apply the appropriate bonus to all attacks made against them with Reckoning.

• Minor Grudge — Someone who insulted you, your friends, or your clan. Against such a target you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls.

• Moderate Grudge — Someone caused you material loss in some fashion. Whether due to incompetence, malfeasance, or just bad luck is irrelevant, it’s unacceptable. Against such a target you gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls.

• Major Grudge — Someone who caused a loss of life or something similarly tragic. Against such a target you gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls, and all attacks against them are made with advantage.

• Legendary Grudge — If you have one of these, you know. This is the grudge that keeps you up at night and keeps you going through any obstacle to get even. Against such a target, all attacks are made with advantage, you gain a +3 to attack and damage rolls, and all successful attacks are critical hits.

Watchful Gaze — This property only functions while Restraint is the active Identity. When a creature within the near attack range of your weapon makes an attack against a target other than you, you can use your reaction to make a weapon attack against the creature. If as a result of your attack the target of the creature’s attack is no longer in range, the creature’s attack fails.

Brutal Blows — This property only functions while Fury is the active Identity. Whenever you roll the maximum value on a weapon die, roll the die again and add the result. If you roll the maximum value again, keep rolling and adding the result until you don’t roll the maximum value.

Manifest Identity — You are able to unleash a specialized attack depending on which Identity is active and what configuration the handle is in. Your Weapon DC is equal to 8 + your attack bonus while wielding the weapon. You can unleash this power a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and you regain all uses after a long rest.
