Shattered Flail

Shattered Flail is a rare +2 Mace that heals the wielder when they hit an enemy - at the cost of potentially going  mad when they stop attacking.

A bundle of bones and blood - and a soul-piercing demonic presence - is all that remains of the Flind's flail. It would make a decent mace with a particularly nasty bite.

Notes

Regarding Yeenoghu's Gift:

• After hitting a creature with the Shattered Flail, the wielder gains Yeenoghu's Gift for 6 turns. For the duration, they must succeed a DC 10  Wisdom saving throw at the end of any turn on which they do not hit an enemy, or go Mad for 1 turn.
  • The Saving Throw rolls made by the wielder of this weapon do not appear in the combat log, but they are in fact being rolled at the end of each turn where the wielder does not damage an enemy.
  • The duration of Yeenoghu's Gift is not refreshed by hitting enemies again; it only lasts the base 6 turns, after which it can be re-applied.
• While Mad, the wielder is uncontrollably hostile to all nearby creatures, including allies, and uses any and all tools at their disposal to inflict harm. This could include using powerful Ammunition or Consumables from their inventory, casting high level Spells, or  shoving allies to their deaths.
• Although the combat log states "Tav healed self...", this healing does not trigger other items which activate on the character's healing such as  Boots of Aid and Comfort,  The Whispering Promise or  Broodmother's Revenge.
• The wielder is healed upon each instance of damage. This means that in the case of attacks which deal multiple damage types, such as  Booming Blade and  Divine Smite (as well as other Smite spells), or in the case of attacks which damage multiple targets, such as  Slashing Flourish (Melee), the wielder is healed multiple times.
