This flat-ended greatsword is clearly used, but has no chips or gouges common to a fighting sword. It has a wide, heavy blade, inscribed “Harm to those with harm in mind” on one side, and “When I raise up this blade, so do I wish proper reward to its victim” on the other. The Justice Blade functions porly in combat, as it is unbalanced, and cannot be used for thrusts and stabs. Therefore, using it in battle causes a -4 penalty on attack rolls. Its true use is in execution. The weapon functions as a +2 Wounding greatsword, increasing its base damage to 4d6, but inflicting 1d6 psychic damage on the wielder for each attack roll made. It has a base threat range of only 20, but has a x3 critical rate (usually inflicting 12d6+ damage), ensuring a swift end to those warranting execution. Wearing this sword confers societal recognition of the wielder as an instrument of justice. As such, these blades are often carried by powerful servants of the God of Justice, but rarely actually used by them in battle.
