Fane-Eater

Fane-Eater is a magic battleaxe and the signature weapon of Arkhan the Cruel.

Appearance
On the stat card written by Matthew Mercer, it was described as being carved from deeply cerulean sapphire, having numerous runic sigils embellishments, and feeling cold to the touch.

In Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus, Fane-Eater is a battleaxe with a serrated blade of dark metal. Its haft is made from a femur bone, and it has a rib-like motif.

Properties
Fane-Eater deals 2d8 slashing damage and has a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls. When the wielder scores a critical hit, the target takes an extra 2d8 necrotic damage and the wielder regains hit points equal to that damage.

An attuned wielder has an additional use of Channel Divinity. When the wielder reduces a Medium or larger target to 0 hit points, they can spend a use of Channel Divinity to gain temporary hit points equal to their level.

Trivia
Fane-Eater was published in the book Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus, where it was again wielded by Arkhan. This version of Fane-Eater lacks the properties that grant the wielder an additional use of Channel Divinity and the ability to use Channel Divinity to gain temporary hit points.
