Hi everyone!
I'm planning on starting a new character for an Adventurers League campaign. After some thought, I decided I'd try with something flavorful, and set for a duelist type of character, with the Magic Initiate feat, trying to be a magic driven fighter vowed to some water deity and using it's powers to fight. The idea is going for the Samurai Fighter archetype and, taking druid as the feat class, choosing:
Cantrips: Shape Water, Shillelagh
1st Level Spell: Fog Cloud
The approach to the theme would be shaping a rapier out of a pool of water and freezing it, all with Shape Water, and strengthening it with shillelagh to have a fight-ready weapon.
And here's the problem: RAW, this isn't possible any way you look at it. HOWEVER, I think this would perfectly work using a real club instead of a magically created ice rapier.
My question is: do you think it would be possible to fluff using the mechanics of just a generic "shillelagh reinforced"-club as creating a ice rapier to fight? I know the damage types would be strange (club is blunt, rapier is pierce), but the rest of it sounds honest to me, even though it's AL.
Any opinion and suggestion is highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
