Its crescent blade is broad and severe, etched with sharp, angular runes that resemble mountain peaks split by jagged bolts.\r\n\r\nThe edge carries a faint silvery-blue sheen, as though frost and lightning have fused along its length. The haft is wrapped in pale yeti-hide cord, reinforced with iron rings that hum softly when storms gather overhead.\r\n\r\nWhen lifted, the axe feels steady and grounded \u2014 but when swung, it carries a sudden, explosive momentum, like an avalanche breaking free.\r\n\r\nThe air around it smells faintly of ozone and cold wind.\r\n\r\nAppearance by Relic State\r\n\r\nDormant\r\nThe blade reflects light like polished ice. In high altitudes or cold climates, frost gathers along its edge without dulling it. When it strikes stone, the impact rings sharply, like steel against frozen rock.\r\n\r\nAwakened\r\nFine cracks of pale lightning trace briefly across the blade during powerful swings. A faint rumble echoes through the haft at the moment of impact. In mountainous terrain, gusts of wind seem to favor the wielder\u2019s stance, steadying their footing.\r\n\r\nThe runes glow dim blue when thunder rolls nearby.\r\n\r\nExalted\r\nThe axe becomes a conduit of peak-born fury. Lightning arcs faintly along the blade\u2019s curve before a decisive strike. The sound of its impact resembles splitting granite or distant thunderclaps. Snow and loose gravel shift outward from the wielder\u2019s feet when they plant themselves for a heavy blow.\r\n\r\nFor a fleeting instant after cleaving a powerful foe, a ghostly silhouette of towering mountains appears behind the wielder, crowned in stormclouds.\r\n\r\nSensory Details\r\n\r\nFeels cold to the touch, even in warm climates\r\n\r\nVibrates faintly before a thunderstorm\r\n\r\nLeaves shallow fractures in stone after heavy blows\r\n\r\nEmits a low, windlike hum when held at high elevation\r\n\r\nLore\r\n\r\nThe warriors of the Crownspine Peaks believe that the mountains are not silent \u2014 they speak through storm and stone. The Skybreaker Greataxe was forged to embody that voice: unyielding, immense, and capable of sundering even the strongest foe.\r\n\r\nLegends claim it was first wielded by a titanborn chieftain who split a thunder-wreathed wyvern from sky to cliffside with a single strike. Since then, the axe has been passed down only to those who prove themselves atop the highest ridges, where air is thin and resolve must be thicker.\r\n\r\nTo wield Skybreaker is to stand like a mountain \u2014 and strike like the storm that crowns it.","properties":"Base Weapon Statistics (All States)\r\n\r\nMartial Melee Weapon\r\n\r\nDamage: 1d12 slashing\r\n\r\nProperties: Heavy, Two-Handed\r\n\r\nMastery: Cleave\r\n\r\nRange: 5 ft.\r\n\r\nWeight: 7 lb.\r\n\r\nRelic Traits (All States)\r\n\r\nCounts as magical.\r\n\r\nEvolves: Dormant \u2192 Awakened \u2192 Exalted\r\n\r\nRequires attunement.\r\n\r\nReverts to Dormant if unattuned.\r\n\r\nDORMANT STATE\r\n\r\nUncommon (Relic)\r\nRequires Attunement (Strength 15+)\r\n\r\nMagic Bonus: +1 to attack and damage rolls.\r\n\r\nMountain Breaker\r\n\r\nWhile standing on stone, earth, or elevated terrain, you deal +1 damage with this weapon.\r\n\r\nCrag-Cleave\r\n\r\nWhen you use the Cleave mastery property, increase the secondary damage by +1.\r\n\r\nAWAKENED STATE\r\n\r\nRare (Relic)\r\nRequires Attunement\r\n\r\nMagic Bonus: +1 to attack and damage rolls.\r\n\r\nSkyshatter Mark (Once Per Turn)\r\n\r\nWhen you hit a creature, you may mark it until the end of your next turn.\r\n\r\nThe next time you hit the marked creature, it takes an extra 1d6 slashing damage, and the mark ends.\r\n\r\nAvalanche Sweep\r\n\r\nWhen you use Cleave, increase the secondary damage by your Proficiency Bonus (instead of +1).\r\n\r\nMountain Breaker\r\n\r\nRemains active.\r\n\r\nEXALTED STATE\r\n\r\nVery Rare or Legendary\r\nRequires Attunement (You must have defeated a Huge or Gargantuan creature while attuned.)\r\n\r\nMagic Bonus: +2 to attack and damage rolls.\r\n\r\nWorld-Sunderer (Once Per Turn)\r\n\r\nWhen you hit a creature, it takes an extra 2d6 slashing damage.\r\n\r\nIf you are standing on stone or elevated terrain, this increases to 3d6.\r\n\r\nTyrantfall Momentum (Once Per Turn)\r\n\r\nWhen you reduce a creature to 0 hit points on your turn, you may move up to 10 feet and make one additional weapon attack as part of the same action.\r\n\r\nSkybreaker Arc\r\n\r\nWhen you use Cleave, the secondary creature may be within 10 feet of the original target if you are standing on higher ground.\r\n\r\nSecondary damage is equal to your Strength modifier + your Proficiency Bonus.","armor_type":"None","armor_class":"","strength_requirement":"","weapon_subtype":"Martial Melee","weapon_mastery":"Cleave","weapon_damage":"1d12","weapon_damage_type":"Slashing","weapon_secondary_damage":"","weapon_secondary_damage_type":"None","weapon_range":"5 ft","imageid":"","source":"","vintage":"1","tags":"","isShared":"on","templateId":"17209","blockId":"1625774","world":"778ec4fb-bcd3-453e-970f-5115eb8a2873","folder":"null"}
