As common folklore would suggest, vampire immortality can be suspended indefinitely if the head is separated from the body.

For my ongoing Vampire Hunter project, I’m illustrating the equipment a professional hunter might realistically use. Whenever possible, I’ve chosen real, commercially available tools rather than inventing exaggerated fantasy weapons.

For the machete section, I selected four different designs to deal with the same essential problem:

TOPS Knives X16 Ginunting
Condor K-Night Machete
Extrema Ratio KH Kukri
CRKT Halfachance

I wanted to avoid the stereotypical “mall ninja” aesthetic and concentrate on blades that look practical, durable, and believable as working tools, even if their fictional purpose is to detach heads from bodies.

If anyone is interested in a 3-minute speed paint video of me making this, here it is: https://youtube.com/shorts/d0OYgWzg_Lg?si=ZybUCAgO9dmclORC

Which one would you choose for a vampire hunter’s kit? Would you have chosen something else?

I do have an accompanying piece focused on survival knives, pocket knives, and backup knives, along with all of the other kinds of weapons one might expect a Vampire Hunter to have in their arsenal. If anyone is interested in seeing any of those, let me know.

Tentacle rod

This weapon Wednesday is my version of the epic tentacle rod.

Made by the drow, this rod is a magic weapon that ends in three rubbery tentacles. While holding the rod, you can use an action to direct each tentacle to attack a creature you can see within 15 feet of you.
Each tentacle makes a melee attack roll with a +9 bonus. On a hit, the tentacle deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage. If you hit a target with all three tentacles, it must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature’s speed is halved, it has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws, and it can’t use reactions for 1 minute. Moreover, on each of its turns, it can take either an action or a bonus action, but not both. At the end of each of its turns, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect.

It is adopted by USCF forces, and uses an extended bolt to pull rounds into the chamber, has an integrated ammo counter, and various other stuff.

Though I'm curious to see what people think/if anyone is interested in making a colorized version since I don't want to have my sketchbook ruined from markers bleeding through, maybe even some more details if you want to, but this is just some concept art tbh.

Attacks with this weapon ignore any damage immunities or resistances the target might have.

Piercing Drill. If you burrowed at least 15 feet straight toward a target and then hit it with an attack from these claws on the same turn, the target takes an extra 2d6 piercing damage.

Empowered When this item is empowered by an Excadrite, it stays in this form for 10 minutes or until you dismiss it. Once it is no longer empowered, it reverts back to its original form, a 530 - Exclawdrill.

Activate-Carve Tunnel [one-action] manipulate; Effect You carve a circular 5 ft diameter, 2.5 ft deep tunnel through solid rock. This causes a 10 foot emanation of flying stone debris, and all other creatures in the area must make a basic DC 44 Reflex save or take 2d6 bludgeoning damage.

You can only strike the same creature once in a single use of Piercing Drill. You deal the damage of the claw blade Strike, but affected creatures can attempt a DC 44 Reflex save to dodge the strike.

The target takes a terrible blast of radiant damage.

On the night of a full moon the blade will shine brightly and vibrate with celestial power.
During combat it will radiate moonlight around you and all attacks against you have disadvantage because the enemies are blinded by the light.

My Pokémon-inspired Weapons and Items of the Day, with a Mega Froslass glaive for the fiercest winter storm!

Join my Patreon to vote on future items and get all the PDFs with over 1000 items, including all the Pokémon items, or buy the individual PDFs in my shop!

478M - Yukimenoken

Weapon (Glaive) – Legendary (requires attunement)

This white +3 glaive has a round head with an icicle horn like blade, a banner coming off each side of the head with icy mountain-like patterns on the bottom, and a red bow tying the head to the shaft. The shaft is wrapped in alternating icy blue, purple, and white cloth, and has a pommel shaped like a cloud with large ice crystals in it.

While attuned to this glaive: you are unaffected by difficult terrain; you are immune to the effects of cold weather and cold damage; if you are in snow, sleet or hail, attacks on you always have disadvantage and you have advantage on all Dexterity rolls; after an enemy hits you with an attack, they must succeed a DC 19 Constitution save or be unable to use that attack again until the end of their next turn; and once between long rests you can, as an action, summon a small hailstorm around yourself. The storm circles around you at a radius of 15 feet for 10 minutes, until you dismiss it, or until you are rendered unconscious. While in the storm, other creatures’ speed is halved in the area, and when a creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d8 cold damage, and on a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.

Attacks with this glaive do an additional 1d8 cold damage, and when hit by this glaive the target must make a DC 19 Constitution save, or their wounds will freeze and cannot be healed until after an hour is spent carefully warming and thawing the wounds. If a creature already suffering this is hit again, they must make another DC 19 Constitution save. If they fail by 5 or more, the creature is instantly frozen, other wise they will begin to freeze and are restrained. They must repeat the saving throw at the end of their next turn, becoming frozen on a failure or ending this effect on a success, but still have the first effect.

Any creature downed by this glaive immediately becomes frozen instead of dying, and you can also touch a willing creature and freeze them as an action.
