Crafted from flawless jade, the guard of this rapier takes the form of a twisting serpent with the blade thrusting from its open mouth. This rapier functions as a +3 greater striking quickstrike rapier. While wielding the rapier, your movement doesn't trigger reactions when you Stride, Balance, or Tumble Through. When you invest the rapier, you either increase your Dexterity modifier by 1 or increase it to +4, whichever would give you a higher value.

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.
