This weapon is carved from a dragon’s thighbone. The image of a dragon’s skeleton is inlaid in jet.
A creature of the dragon type that is hit by a projectile fired from this weapon takes 1 point of Strength damage in addition to the normal damage from the weapon. In addition, the weapon’s critical multiplier increases by 1 if the target is a dragon. For example, a critical hit from a dragonhunter longbow has a ×4 damage multiplier (instead of the normal ×3) against a dragon, so such a creature would take four times normal damage (but still only 1 point of Strength damage) with a critical hit.
Other effects related to threatening or confirming critical hits (such as keen edge or bless weapon spells) don’t function when placed on a weapon that has this property.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, keen edge, ray of enfeeblement.
Cost to Create: 1,000 gp (plus 300 gp for base item), 80 XP, 2 days.
