Reaver’s Cutlass

The hilt of this cutlass is wrapped in tanned humanoid skin, and it seems to sing for blood as it is swung.

This +1 wounding cutlass is the weapon favored by the most bloody-hearted of pirates.

If a reaver’s cutlass attaches to an opponent, it twists into the wound as though alive and continues to deal Constitution damage each round it remains attached. To remove it, an opponent must achieve a pin and spend one full round wrenching it free. The weapon makes a grapple check as the wielder (even though she no longer holds it) and takes no size penalty.

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, animate objects, mage’s sword.
