Item: Bellicose Dagger
The hilt of a bellicose dagger is etched with the word for "war" in various languages. Having absorbed the spirit of violence over the course of its existence, the weapon now craves bloodshed. A bellicose dagger is a +1 striking wounding dagger. However, anytime you interact with creatures, no matter the context, you must succeed at a DC 25 Will save or else find you have, as a reaction, drawn the dagger.
When you use the bellicose dagger as a weapon for the first time, it fuses to you. While it's in your possession, you take a –2 circumstance penalty to Diplomacy checks and skill checks to avoid fighting, such as Deception checks to trick your way out of a scuffle or Stealth checks to sneak past enemies.
Critical Specialisation Effects
Certain effects can grant you benefits when you make a Strike with certain weapons and get a critical success. This is called a critical specialisation effect. The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialisation effect of your weapon.
Knife: The target takes 1d6 persistent bleed damage. You gain an item bonus to this bleed damage equal to the weapon's item bonus to attack rolls.
