I'm looking into the Battle Scion class in Unearthed Arcana, so I have to make up a legendary weapon to use for my DM to approve. This is what I came up with, and I was hoping you all could take a look and give your thoughts (too powerful, not powerful enough, etc.) before I discuss it with my DM.
Finger of Mount Celestia
Intelligent greatsword (two-handed martial weapon, 2d6 damage)
Requirements
Alignment
Any good
Base Attack Bonus
+9.
Skills
Knowledge (religion) 6 ranks.
Feats
Weapon Focus (greatsword), Improved Critical (greatsword)
Restrictions
The Finger of Mount Celestia will not allow itself to be used against anyone of a good alignment. The wielder of the Finger must succeed on a will save (DC 19) in order to attack anyone of a good alignment, and even then the damage dealt is nonlethal.
Attributes
