Legio Multicorde

Weapon (club - finesse, light), Very Rare, Requires Attunement

The wooden sword known as the Rudis was one of the Emperor's greatest gifts. Offered only to slaves and conscripts, it was a symbol that they had been released from their servitude and enjoyed all the rights and privileges of true citizens.  This one is pyrographed with the the standard and motto of the 13th legion.

"I shall fear no evil, for my brothers stand by my side.  The Legion is my armor, and we are a single sword."

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.  This bonus increases by +1 for every two allies within 5 feet of you (up to a maximum of +3).

While you are wielding this weapon, you may choose for your attacks originate from the location of an ally that you can see within 60 feet of you.  This applies to any ability that requires an attack roll.  You may choose a different ally for each attack you are capable of making.

If an ally within 60 feet of you takes damage, you may use your reaction to take up to your level in damage, subtracting that amount from the damage that your ally would have normally taken.

Once per long rest, you may recite the motto on the sword as an action, granting all allies within 60 feet of you 1d4 temporary hit points.  If an ally has a less than half of their available hit points, this ability grants 2d4 temporary hit points.  These hit points remain until you take a short or long rest.
