Final Answer

This +2 spiked chain has a glittering sheen, but most spellcasters don’t identify it as magic due to the persistent nondetection effect on it. A DC 25 Spellcraft check is required for a spellcaster to detect the magic of final answer. The weapon gives its wielder a +5 bonus on Perform (weapon drill) checks. (See the section on skills near the end of Chapter 3.) The weapon’s first owner was a noted gladiator from a bygone age, used his “final answer” to get an edge in the arena. Since his death, the weapon has passed from gladiator to gladiator, with many unaware of its magical nature.

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, nondetection.
