Item: Deathseeker
A hauntingly beautiful and masterfully crafted blade, this +1 striking wounding kris has been whet with the spilled blood of its creator, imbuing violent intent within its crimson curves. When you critically succeed at a Strike made with a deathseeker, the target feels the blade's unbridled bloodlust trying to consume it and must attempt a DC 24 Will save; this effect has the incapacitation trait.
Critical Success The target is unaffected and is temporarily immune for 24 hours.
Success The target takes an additional 1 persistent bleed damage, and the DC for recovering from persistent bleed damage is 17, or 12 with particularly effective assistance.
Failure As success, except the target is also Confused for 1 round. It gets a flat check to recover from this confusion when it critically succeeds at a Strike against another creature or reduces another living being to 0 Hit Points, but not when it takes damage.
Critical Failure As success, except the target is also confused for 3 rounds. It gets a flat check to recover from this confusion when it critically succeeds at a Strike against another creature or reduces another living being to 0 Hit Points, but not when it takes damage.
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.
