# Holy Avenger
*Legendary (requires attunement by a paladin)*
You gain a +3 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. When you hit a Fiend or an Undead with it, that creature takes an extra `2d10` Radiant damage.
While you hold the drawn weapon, it creates a 10-foot [Emanation [Area of Effect]](emanation-area-of-effect-xphb.md) originating from you. You and all creatures [Friendly [Attitude]](friendly-attitude-xphb.md) to you in the [Emanation [Area of Effect]](emanation-area-of-effect-xphb.md) have [Advantage](advantage-xphb.md) on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. If you have 17 or more levels in the Paladin class, the size of the [Emanation [Area of Effect]](emanation-area-of-effect-xphb.md) increases to 30 feet.
