Joshua's Trumpet

Joshua's Trumpet

Wondrous item, rare

This trumpet is made from a curved ram's horn and hangs from a worn leather strap. This relic dates back to the original conquest of Canaan when the Israelites were led by Joshua. When the Israelites came up against the impenetrable walls of the city of Jericho, Joshua instructed the people to blow trumpets and shout. The trumpet blasts, imbued with the power of the Israelite's faith in God, shattered the walls of Jericho, winning a decisive victory and turning the tides of war.

As a Magic action, you may blow into the trumpet, causing an intense and painfully loud sound to emanate from its mouth as cracks begin to form in the ground and surrounding structures. Each creature in a 60-foot cone must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 8d8 thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. Constructs must make this saving throw with disadvantage. Joshua's Trumpet deals double damage to objects not currently worn or carried and structures (such as walls).

Once blown, this special action cannot be used again until the following day at dawn. Until then, the trumpet functions as a normal trumpet.
