Katana of the Perfect Strike
Weapon (longsword), very rare

This katana appears to be beautifully crafted but mundane at a glance. Tilting the blade to specific angles however, reveals a crimson lattice of runic enchantments primed to unleash deadly potential with the perfect strike.

When you score a critical hit against a target with this magical weapon, you can attempt to make it a perfect strike. Make an attack roll with this weapon against the target. This roll is not affected by advantage or disadvantage. If the roll meets or exceeds the target’s AC, the critical hit is a perfect strike, allowing you to roll four additional weapon damage dice (for a total of six damage dice). If the roll is under the target’s AC, the hit is no longer critical.

Ano waited patiently for his opponent to stop flailing his ridiculously large sword. The crowd of onlookers gasped in admiration at his twirling display. By comparison, Ano was boring to behold. He wore plain clothes, stood nearly two heads shorter than the muscle-bound showman, and his katana was still sheathed. He wasn’t handsome or ugly, he had no tattoos or scars, and he was carrying a basket of rhubarb under one arm. Even his name was totally mundane compared to Pojo Sanders, “The Destroyer”. By now, Ano had been studying the gaps in his opponent’s armor for some time and, when Pojo decided to stop showing off, he stepped forward and made a single cut to Pojo’s inner thigh. It was a perfect strike, slipping between steel plates and severing the femoral artery. The Destroyer bled out in a matter of seconds. Before the battle had truly begun, Ano quietly slipped into the awestruck crowd to resume grocery shopping. He’ll need strawberries for his rhubarb pie recipe.
