This black leather eyepatch bears a blood-red pentagram.
When you activate a blighter’s hex-eye, your melee attacks against elves and creatures of the plant type deal an extra 2d6 points of damage. This effect lasts for 1 round.
A hex-eye functions three times per day, but it can’t be activated in consecutive rounds.
Lore: Gruumsh, god of orcs, gave his shamans the knowledge to craft the first blighter’s hex-eye to help his people clear the woodlands of their enemies (Knowledge [history or religion] DC 15). Elves joke that the orcs are so stupid that Gruumsh has to teach every new generation the secrets of the eyepatch’s construction again (Knowledge [history or religion] DC 20).
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, keen edge.
Cost to Create: 700 gp, 56 XP, 2 days.
