Asfortuna

Weapon (shortsword), very rare (requires attunement)

On the hilt of this dusty Gladius are knotted crests and depictions of a once gleaming fortune, symbolising gilded pasts and barren futures. While attuned to the sword, you become increasingly nostalgic, whereas your discontent with the future begins to grow. Attacks made with this weapon gain a +2 bonus to attacks and damage rolls. As an immediate reaction upon falling under half your maximum hit points, your hit points fully replenish. You can only use this future once before needing to wait until dawn.

Additionally, once per combat, you heave the sword above your head and alter the flow of battle as a bonus action. You manually rearrange the order of initiative, which goes into effect at the end of your turn.

Lore

Revenge goes a long way for those who have nothing left. Where there was once a noble mansion, the peasant revolt had taken everything from the patricians. They want what we have? They want to topple our glorious demesne? Draw your sword and have at it, for our blade is bitter and out for your necks.
