Description
At Skilled and Expert skill, sets of crow talons gain the second and bleed expert traits.
The sets of crow talons are multistriking weapons, causing any melee attack with a set of crow talons to perform 3 separate attacks at once: any effects such as object properties and poison will be applied again individually for each hit. These attacks also inflict 3 stacks of study on the target per hit, for 9 study if all of them hit, observable by applying a stethoscope.
A set of crow talons wielded as the main weapon gains full dexterity damage bonus of (DEX - 10)2 rounded down, except at 25, where it instead gains +8. They only receive halved strength bonus damage, for at most +4 at 25.
Sets of crow talons count as monk weapons, and can be used to perform mystic moves even while wielding them. All monks start the game with knowledge of the set of crow talon's identified appearance. Hitting with a set of crow talons gives monks full base attack bonus.
