UsageHeld in two hands

A soul chain is a +1 striking Spiked Chain that has become cursed after a forge-spurned used it to kill a creature and trap its soul. In the hands of a forge-spurned, a soul chain inflicts an additional 1d6 fire damage on a hit. Other creatures can use a soul chain as a standard +1 striking spiked chain. A soul chain fuses with its wielder the first time the wielder damages a living creature with the weapon. A character who dies while carrying a soul chain must attempt a DC 20 Will save; on a failure, they're immediately transformed into a forge-spurned. Carrying multiple soul chains doesn't increase the DC of the save, but the carrier must attempt the save once for each chain they carry.


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.

Flail: The target is knocked prone unless they succeed at a Reflex save against your class DC.
