Steadfast Maul

Steadfast Maul is an uncommon, lightly enchanted Maul.

Steadfast Edwina of Icewind Dale wielded this maul for many years before pursuing her desired career of fiction writing. She wrote crime novels set in Waterdeep for thirty years, and died largely unrecognised. But happy.

Special

The holder of this item gains:

Main Hand Only

Tenacity: When you miss a melee attack, you deal Strength Modifier⁠⁠Bludgeoning damage (minimum of 1) anyway.

Weapon actions

If you have proficiency, equip in main hand to gain:

 Backbreaker (): Put extra force behind your strike to possibly knock your enemy  Prone. ( Recharge: Short rest.)

 Concussive Smash (): Hit an enemy with all your might to deal damage and possibly  Daze them. ( Recharge: Short rest.)

Special weapon actions

This weapon also grants the following:

 Steadfast Strike (): Slam into a foe, preventing them (and yourself) from being moved involuntarily. ( Recharge: Short rest.)

Regarding Tenacity:

If a weapon action misses, using Tenacity will not trigger its effects.
Despite being a greatclub,  Rat Bat does not provide Tenacity.
As Tenacity deals weapon damage, even if an attack misses, it can trigger many on-hit effects from equipment.
- Effects like weapon coatings,  Gloves of Power,  Callous Glow Ring, and any infusion from  Ring of Elemental Infusion.
-  Doom Hammer and  The Sacred Star on-hit effects will be triggered. This is particularly important when you need to apply a condition consistently, like  Bone Chilled to a powerful undead or fast-healing enemy.
-  Flail of Ages can trigger its effect via Tenacity when boosted by  Acid Infusion,  Cold Infusion, or  Fire Infusion.

Regarding Tenacity:

When dual wielding a flail or morningstar with a non-Tenacity weapon using the  Dual Wielder feat, Tenacity can be triggered by missing an attack with the non-Tenacity weapon. The damage will always be ⁠Bludgeoning, no matter the weapon used.
- Some non-Tenacity weapons can trigger their on-hit effects via Tenacity as well, such as the  Ritual Dagger and  Loviatar's Scourge.
As  Horde Breaker (Melee) rolls invisible, zero-damage weapon attacks against all enemies in the Horde Breaker area of effect, Tenacity can be prompted to trigger against them even if the first attack hits. It is therefore possible to score 2 hits in one attack: the full attack against the original Horde Breaker target and a Tenacity hit against another target.
