Item: Breaching Pike
Forged with a heavy metal wedge as a spearhead, breaching pikes are often used by hobgoblin infantry alongside a tower shield. Breaching pikes are particularly effective at damaging enemy shields, leaving large, triangular puncture holes behind.
Trait Effects
Hobgoblin: A creature with this trait is a tall, militaristic goblinoid. Hobgoblins tend to have darkvision. An ability with this trait can be used or selected only by hobgoblins. An item with this trait is created and used by hobgoblins.
Razing: Razing weapons are particularly good at damaging objects, structures, and vehicles. Whenever you deal damage to an object (including shields and animated objects), structure, or vehicle with a razing weapon, the object takes an amount of additional damage equal to double the number of weapon damage dice.
Reach: This weapon can be used to attack enemies up to 10 feet away instead of only adjacent enemies. For creatures with reach, the weapon increases their reach by 5 feet.
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.
Spear: The weapon pierces the target, weakening its attacks. The target is clumsy 1 until the start of your next turn.
