Killer's Sweetheart

Killer's Sweetheart is a very rare Ring that makes the wearer's next Attack Roll a critical hit after killing a creature, once per Long Rest.

Though the ring is highly polished, darkened slivers of blood still cling to small scrapes and corners.

Special

The wearer of this item gains:

Executioner

When you kill a creature, your next  Attack roll will be a Critical Hit. Once spent, this effect refreshes after a Long Rest.

Where to find

• Gauntlet of Shar X: -833 Y: -729: On the ground where the shadow copy appearing next to the Brazier is defeated in the Self-Same Trial

Notes

Regarding Executioner:

• After a creature is killed, the Executioner critical hit can be set to 'Ask' or disabled entirely in the Reactions tab, allowing it to be saved for later. Using it does not consume a Reaction resource.
• The automatic critical hit from Executioner can be applied to every target hit by a single AOE attack, such as  Whirlwind Attack or  Razor Gale.

Bugs

Regarding Executioner:

• Despite the tooltip suggesting otherwise, Executioner only applies to weapon attack rolls.
• When using weapon specific abilities that impose a saving throw such as  Pushing Attack (Melee) and  Lacerate, Executioner attempts to apply its 'Natural 20' effect to the enemy's saving throw as well as the character's attack. This creates a risk of wasting the  Executioner condition to help the enemy.
• If the Executioner reaction is set to 'Automatic': the game forces the character's attack roll to a 20 (a Critical Hit) but also forces the target’s Saving Throw to a 20. This grants the enemy a high probability of resisting the secondary effect (e.g., they take the damage but are not pushed).
  • If the Executioner reaction is set to 'Ask': The game triggers two separate prompts:
    • First Prompt: asks to turn the character's attack roll into a 20. (Recommend: Yes)
    • Second Prompt: asks to turn the enemy's Saving Throw into a 20. (Recommend: No)
      • If the character accepts the second prompt, the  Executioner condition is consumed, and the enemy receives a large bonus to their save.
  • Note: While Saving Throws do not technically 'critically succeed' on a 20, the high roll often results in the enemy resisting the effect.
• Wasted Charges: due to a scripting error,  Executioner fails to check if the attacking character has already rolled a Natural 20 normally. If the character lands a critical hit on their own, the reaction can still trigger (and be consumed) if they either accept the reaction prompt or have it set to 'Automatic'.
