Give Your D&D Characters Zanpakuto with AWAKENED BLADES
If you’re a fan of the Bleach manga or anime, then you know that a zanpakuto is a weapon that can transform up to twice (shikai and bankai) to become stronger. You also know that each zanpakuto has a unique spirit inside it that the wielder must become one with in some manner in order to unlock its true potential. Well, I don’t know if it’s directly influenced by Bleach, but Darren Kenny and Conor Higgins have given Dungeon & Dragons players something awfully similar in Awakened Blades. This unofficial supplement features 50 magic items that are all weapons with three states (a base, an awakened, and a truly awakened) with each state being more powerful than the last. Each of these weapons has a name and a spirit as well with unique personalities that allow it to meet its true potential with a similar-minded wielder. It sounds a lot like zanpakuto and I absolutely love it!
This collection of magical weapons comes packed with 50 options, each one with unique and interesting powers, a detailed personality and backstory for each weapon, and incredible artwork that changes as the weapon evolves into later forms. Whether starting a new campaign or about to face off against the BBEG, these swords are the perfect gift for any party member who feels left behind by their fellow adventuers, or just wants to feel like a badass on the battlefied!
Use the new Awakening system to grow your bond with these swords by taking actions that further your connection. Watch them grow and change form as the weapon evolves and unleash their devastating True Awakening upon your enemies.
You can purchase Awakened Blades from DMs Guild for $4.95.
