Item: Hippopotamus Klar
This +1 striking klar is fashioned from the skull of a hippopotamus, with one of its canines acting as the blade. While wielding a hippopotamus klar, you gain a +1 item bonus to Intimidation checks.
Activate—Engulfing Jaws 1 (manipulate)
Frequency once per day
Effect The hippo jaws of the shield open impossibly wide. Make a melee Strike with the klar blade targeting two creatures adjacent to each other. Roll the attack and damage once and apply it to each creature separately. This counts as two attacks for your multiple attack penalty.
Craft Requirements The initial raw materials must include the entire skull of a hippopotamus.
Trait Effects
Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
