Where to find
This weapon can be found stabbed into a rock in the Underdark (X:116, Y:-192) and can be freed by passing either a:
- DC 15 Strength check to yank it from the stone.
- DC 15 Religion check to learn how to release the magic holding it in place.
- Paladin: DC 10 Religion check (with advantage) to consider what the appropriate ritual for releasing the sword. If successful, a Paladin can perform the ritual or use your oath to prove your work (DC 10 Charisma check).
Alternately, a Cleric of Eilistraee can release the sword without needing an ability check.
Notes
- The 1d4
Thunder damage doesn't seem to trigger effects requiring
Thunder damage on items like Hat of Storm Scion's Power or Gloves of Belligerent Skies - regardless of whether the character triggering the damage has the items or the character activating Phalar Aluve - the Reverberation stacks don't apply. The Ring of Spiteful Thunder, however, is triggered if the target had stacks of Reverberation applied - at least when worn by the character triggering the damage. (as of 4.1.1.3648072)
- Longswords do not regularly have the Finesse property; Phalar Aluve is special in this regard.
