Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a Spellcaster)

Cost: — | Weight: 5lbs

The severed leg of the devil Arachne, forcibly torn off by Suleiman the Virtuous.

This organ grows a connection on the side of the wielder, forming a shoulder cannon-like appendage. It can easily be removed however the sensation can be oddly unpleasant.

Needle Storage. Temperance can store a maximum of four charges, represented as needles the weapon grows in the chamber.

Needle Launcher. Whenever you take the attack action you may replace one of your attacks with a ranged spell attack from Temperance. On hit, this attack deals 2d4 plus your spellcasting modifier acid damage and the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or be poisoned until the end of their next turn. On hit, Temperance gains an additional charge.

Vile Recompense. While holding this item, you can use your action to fire a barrage of needles in a 15-foot cone originating from you. Each creature within the area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. Expend all current charges and roll a number of d6s equal to the number of expended charges. The total is how much acid damage a creature takes on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
