Skin Thinner (attunement, CR. x3)

Damage is Strength + attunement, difficulty 7 to wield.

The skinthinner is an ancient Indonesian Kris dagger. Those possessing the proper aura may attune it into a frightening assassin's weapon.

1) Hidden Dagger Cloak and Dagger is most effective when one doesn't need to wear a cloak.

System: The skinthinner can render itself invisible at the wielder's desire. This is a free action.

2)Poison The assassin's dagger drips poison at all times. Even a glancing wound may spell certain death.

System: the dagger inflicts a poison with a severity level equal to attunement rating. This poison decays at the rate of one dice per turn, and can be soaked with stamina + endurance, difficulty 8. For example, if the attunement is 5, the poison would do 5 dice the first round, 4 the next, then 3, 2, and finally 1.

3)Face Reaping With a flourish, the attuned weilder can flay the skin from their victim's head.

System: When an attack on a victim's upper body succeeds and does at least one lethal damage, the face (or scalp) is reaped automatically.

4) Clever Strike The long, wavy kris is excellent at finding its way around a target's armor and into its vitals. Getting through bullet proof vests is as easy as going through the lower neck. getting to the brain through a helmet simply involves traveling up through the chin.

System: Attack rolls targeting a specific anatomical area do not suffer difficulty penalties.

5) Skin Thinning As the dagger draws near to its target, the skin in front of it wastes away, leaving an open path to the target's vitals.

System: The target cannot soak damage from the skinthinner with their stamina, even if they have an ability, template, or spell that lets them do so.
