Item: Maul-spade
This heavy, club-like weapon can clobber foes, but it also functions as a shovel. A maul-spade adds its item bonus from weapon potency runes (if any) as an item bonus on checks made with Athletics and appropriate Lore skills (such as Labor Lore) when using it as a shovel to dig.
Trait Effects
Deadly: On a critical hit, the weapon adds a weapon damage die of the listed size. Roll this after doubling the weapon’s damage. This increases to two dice if the weapon has a _greater striking rune_ and three dice if the weapon has a _major striking rune_. For instance, a rapier with a _greater striking rune_ deals 2d8 extra piercing damage on a critical hit. An ability that changes the size of the weapon’s normal damage dice doesn’t change the size of its deadly die.
Jotunborn: A creature with this trait is a member of the jotunborn ancestry. Jotunborn are large people forged from the blood of an ancient group of giants called titans and usually have low-light vision. An ability with this trait can be used or selected only by jotunborn. A weapon with this trait is created and used by jotunborn.
Shove: You can use this weapon to Shove with the Athletics skill even if you don’t have a free hand. This uses the weapon’s reach (if different from your own) and adds the weapon’s item bonus to attack rolls as an item bonus to the Athletics check. If you critically fail a check to Shove using the weapon, you can drop the weapon to take the effects of a failure instead of a critical failure.
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.
Club: You knock the target away from you up to 10 feet. This is forced movement.
