Gleaming Golden Scalpel

item / weapon MBC The Merchant, p.6 (Kergüs wares)

A shining golden scalpel, viciously sharp. DR8 to attack, d4 damage. You may attempt to surgically open a vein mid-combat: impose a DR+ penalty of your choosing on the attack, and if you succeed, add that number to your damage.

Sold by Mikhael the Merchant in Kergüs for a portion of the buyer's soul. The kind of weapon a doctor would carry to a war he started.

Gaps / Expansion Notes

Whether opening a vein causes ongoing bleed damage in addition to the strike — like the Croaking Trident or Ueth's spear — is implied but unprinted.
