Fate & Fortune

Description
This is an artifact that was created by Prospero god of luck. Fate is an ornate Shortsword, however, it has the ability to split into two parts which grants access to Fortune, a similarly ornate dagger.

Duality
While wielding Fate & Fortune, you can use a bonus action to either combine them into a single shortsword or split them into a shortsword and dagger. Fate & Fortune has two modes: Merged and Dual. In Dual mode, if either weapon leaves your hand it switches to Merged mode. In addition, while in Dual mode, you may add your ability modifier to damage from offhand attacks made as long as both the attack and offhand attacks were made with Fate & Fortune. Both weapons count as magical for getting past damage resistance.

Disable Traps
You may use Fate & Fortune to disable traps instead of thieves tools. You are proficient when using Fate & Fortune in this way. In addition you may add this weapons magical bonus to the check. Fate & Fortune must be Dual mode to use them to disable a trap.

Parry
While in Merged mode, you may use the additional weight of Fate & Fortune to potentially block an attack that is made against you. When a creature within 5 feet of you targets you with a melee weapon attack, you may use your reaction to add 2 to your armor class for that attack only. You may use this after the attack is made, but before you know the result.

Riposte
While in Dual mode, you may take advantage of the light weight of Fortune to counter an attack that you dodged. When a creature within your melee range makes a melee weapon attack against you and misses, you may use your reaction to make an attack of opportunity to make an attack of opportunity against that creature using Fortune (dagger).
