Each of these three progressively larger adamantine bands is a stunning piece of jewelry in its own right, studded with gems and inscribed with draconic runes of strength. The three bands slip over the wearer’s tail and are magically held in place once donned, spread equidistant up its length.
An attack with a tail equipped with tailbands of impact is considered adamantine and magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. In addition, tailbands of impact allow the wearer to apply more of his Strength bonus on damage rolls for tail slap attacks. Consult the table below to determine the effect.
| Normal | Wearing Tailbands of Impact |
|---|---|
| Str bonus × ½ | Str bonus |
| Str bonus | Str bonus × 1½ |
| Str bonus × 1½ | Str bonus × 2 |
While tailbands of impact are made for dragons, any creature that has a tail slap attack can wear them, and they resize to fit the wearer. A creature that does not have a tail slap attack gains no benefit from wearing the bands.
The three bands slip over the wearer’s tail and are magically held in place once donned, spread equidistant up its length. Tailbands of impact occupy the same space on the body as boots.
