The flat steel blade of this +3 rapier is hard to follow in combat. Any time a character uses the Bluff skill to feint in combat while wielding a blade of deception, the blade provides a +2 enhancement bonus on the Bluff check. A blade of deception provides no bonus on other Bluff checks. In addition, any opponent against whom the wielder successfully feints cannot make attacks of opportunity against the wielder until the beginning of the opponent’s next turn. Anyone who was not the target of the feint can make attacks of opportunity against the wielder normally.
