Item: Hydra Spear
This +1 striking longspear of polished white bone features a tip of layered reptilian scales, compressed to form a sharp edge. Akki crafted this spear herself after she and her allies tangled with a hydra plaguing the marshes outside Aelyosos. She pressed the scales of the creature down into a spearpoint mostly through sheer stubbornness, granting it a unique ability.

Effect The spearhead unravels and elongates into a group of snake heads. Make up to three melee Strikes with the Hydra Spear, each at a different creature within 20 feet. These attacks do not count toward your multiple attack penalty until all attacks have been resolved.
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.
