This spear has an ornate bone head carved to resemble a skull with its mouth open in a scream. Its shaft is set with long spikes, and the base is shod with a metal tip molded in the shape of a skull.

Carried primarily by kobold heroes, these spears were designed to be true to their name. When you carry a skewer-of-gnomes, it functions as a Small +1 gnome bane spear if you are lawful evil, lawful neutral, or neutral evil.

Relic Power: If you have established the proper divine connection, the spear also gains the unholy property and reveals its quasisentience and abilities to you. A skewer-of-gnomes automatically sets itself against a charge, attacking and dealing double damage whenever a foe charges you.
This attack uses your highest base attack bonus and all relevant modifiers, just as if you were making an attack of opportunity.
To use the relic power, you must worship Kurtulmak and either sacrifice a 5th-level divine spell slot or have the True Believer feat and at least 9 HD.

Lore: The first four skewers-of-gnomes were created for the kings of the most powerful kobold tribes by weaponsmiths working in cooperation with Kurtulmak’s clergy.
Since then, the secret of their manufacture has been passed down from parent to child and is known to only a handful of kobold weaponmakers (Knowledge [religion] DC 20).

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Sanctify Relic, unholy blight.
Cost to Create: 4,500 gp (plus 302 gp for base item), 360 XP, 9 days.
