This glistening chromed axe is polished, undented, and untarnished no matter how much blood is spilled. It is indeed holy but the light it gives off is cold and intimidating.

A religious artifact of a paladin and saint who set out to destroy armies of darkness, legends say that he continued to fight long after his body had given out. At some point his weapons and other items were found and enshrined as holy artifacts imbued with a power that was before unseen, and for those not pure of heart a power that is terrifying, unreasonable, and deadly.

It is a +3 intelligent holy platinum battleaxe that is immune to rust and tarnish and never stained with blood. It is possessed of a particularly strong and zealous spirit that causes evil wielders to make a DC 22 Will save or they must immediately full attack themselves, and again for each round it is held. Non-good wielders can hold the weapon, but in their hands the weapon is naught but a masterwork holy platinum battleaxe. Good aligned wielders can use the weapon normally. The intelligence within the weapon is a stern dispenser of justice, and insists its user cleaves and smites evil in all of its forms.

While wielded, the user has detect evil at will, and the axe can use this ability on its own with no prompting. In fact it often does so. Users also "benefit" from constant moral guidance on how to act lawful and good. It also converts any vile damage into normal damage, and keeps the wielder's soul from being displaced, removed, or stolen. If they die while they wielded it, this protection persists for a year and a day or until they are revived.

Once per day the user may smite evil as a paladin of their level. If they are actually a paladin they can either use this as an extra smite per day, or consume it to empower pre-existing smiting as if you were a paladin of your +50% your level. Thus a level 10 paladin smites as a level 15 paladin.

While powerful, this axe is not an artifact. It is however difficult to destroy and it is said if it were ever destroyed it may release something baleful indeed.

Cost to Create: Unique, cannot be crafted.
