Item: Boughshatter

The spikes of this +2 greater striking standard-grade adamantine morningstar have a faintly green shimmer, as if resembling Ayrzul's crystalline teeth. The weapon vibrates briefly when first drawn in or carried into a radioactive area, with the intensity of the vibration correlating to the radioactivity's strength. While you carry Boughshatter, you gain a +4 status bonus to saving throws against radiation, including Ayrzul's Blight.

Activate—Splintering Strike 2 (manipulate)

Frequency Once per minute

Effect Make a Strike with the morningstar that deals an extra die of weapon damage. If you make this Strike against a fungus, plant, or creature with the wood trait, the Strike ignores 10 points of the target's resistances to bludgeoning and piercing damage, if any. By damaging such a creature, the morningstar causes the target's flesh to explode in a shower of splinters that affect a 30-foot cone originating from the target's space, dealing 8d6 piercing damage to creatures in the area (DC 30 Basic Reflex save). You and the target are unaffected by these splinters.
