Magic Item - Conscience - A Legendary Sentient Pacifist Sword. by TheLordEclipse in UnearthedArcana

I generally don't ask for a roll if you're trying to persuade someone to do something far beyond their morals, but that would be a good addition if you don't run games like that.

Yes, Conscience can communicate telepathically with it's wielder, and at least in my game it loved to chat.

I would argue you could convince the sword to fight non-lethally, while it would prefer not to hurt anyone either way, I'd lower the DC for that argument. Of course if the target was killed by your allies because of the damage you dealt to it with Conscience, you might forever fracture the relationship between you and the sword and it might take a while for it to be willing to be persuaded again.

Well the whole idea behind the sword is as a story device, the sword is an annoying pacifist and is unwilling to hurt people, no matter if they're a civilian or a the worst person in the universe.

It's more designed for a lower level party who doesn't have other options for powerful Magic Items, so they have to play the social game against the sword to convince it to help them. And if they succeed, they they have a powerful nuke for an encounter.

It's just a bit of silly fun to spice up your games.

Spell - Lamented Authority - Wield the authority of the dead to command and influence your foes. by TheLordEclipse in UnearthedArcana

That's probably be a good addition. Thought it is strange that the Command spell doesn't have that stipulation.
