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.
Activate—Hydra Swipe 2
Frequency once per hour
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.
Trait Effects
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.
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.
