This +1 striking frost katana is always cool to the touch, nearly uncomfortably so. Unadorned and with no tsuba, its honed blade is carved from a single tusk of dragon-turtle ivory and wrapped in strips of winter wolf hide. Strikes with the katana gain a +2 status bonus to damage rolls against creatures that have a status penalty to their Speed or are slowed. The status bonus increases to +3 if the weapon has a greater striking rune and +4 for major striking.

Effect Choose one creature dealt cold damage by the spell. It takes a –5-foot status penalty to its Speeds for 1 round.


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.

Sword: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming off-guard until the start of your next turn.
