Cloak of Quills

Thousands of small quills cover the exterior of this thick, high-collared leather cloak. While most of the quills are little more than the length of a porcupine’s, several on the shoulders and back are nearly 2 feet long.

While grappling, each time you roll a grapple check (other than the initial check to enter or resist the grapple), you can activate your cloak of quills. Doing this lodges quills in your opponent, dealing 1d6 points of damage to each other creature in the grapple (Reflex DC 16 negates).

This ability functions five times per day.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, quillfire.

Cost to Create: 1,250 gp, 100 XP, 3 days.
