~When the weapon is first picked up a will save (DC 30)must be made
or the weilder will be dominated for the day. The following day the
roll is made again to see if the weilder or the artifact is in
control. Every day the save is made to see who is in control.

~If the sword is grasped without the gauntlet a will save (DC30) must
me made or the weilder will be turned to ash. Even if the save is
made the weilder taked 10d6 dmg and suffers from nausia for 1d4 days.

Here are its abilities


THE GAUNTLET

1. Acts as a rod of absorbion, but wearer can throw back the absorbed
spell as a free action. This forces the original caster to make the
original saving throw. Unlike a rod of absorbtion it will only hold
one spell at a time, if a second spell is attempted to be absorbed
nothing happens and the save must be rolled normally.

2. Because the artifact itself is trying to control the weilder it
takes great care to make sure that only it can gain control of the
weilder. It blocks all psions and mind control except that of epic
items, or characters. a +20 is added to the save of the weilder if an
epic item, or caster other than Charons Claw itself tried to take
hold.

3. Blocks all scrying attempts, and related spells.

THE SWORD

CHA: 18 (+4)
WIS: 10 (+0)
EGO: 28
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Continuous Deathwatch: it has the continued death watch ability.

Smoking Weapon: On command and with a swing of the sword it will
created a 20ft circular radius of smoke around the weilder. Granting
a 20% miss chance. The weilder is protected from the smoke. But
anyone else within it begins to immediatly begins to suffocate and
must make a fort save each round or choke to death. DC starts at 15,
but each following round goes up by 1. The smoke lasts as long as the
weilder desires.

Blocks Infravision: Summons a white light to block the prying eyes of
those with infravision.

Keen Longsword: dmg 1d8 (Crit 17-20) When a successful critical hit
is scored it instantly turns the person struck to ash, no save.

On a normal attack that deals dmg the injured party must make a will
save (DC 30)or suffer a -4 penalty to attacks,saves, skills etc. for
the next 24hrs. If the save is successfull they do not need to make
the save again and are immune to the effect for a period of 24hrs.

PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE UNNOFICIAL rules for the artifact, this is how
it is portrayed in the campaigns I play. As far As I know these are
the only fan made stats available I have searched.

Charons claw was a clawed gauntlet and sword that the infamous
Artemis Entreri managed to get his hands on in the R.A. Salvatore
novel SERVANT OF THE SHARD. This is a very powerful artifact and DM's
should be careful when allowing it into a campaign.
