Highhelm War Shield (Moderate)

This specialized Razor Disc was originally designed by the members of Clan Molgrade for use by Highhelm's soldiers. The integrated blades are etched with runes, making them a +2 greater striking weapon.

Activate [R] envision

Trigger You critically hit with the shield's integrated blades

Effect The shield's blades grow and dig themselves into your foe. The creature becomes Grabbed as it becomes impaled on the shield spikes. While you have a creature grabbed in this way, you can't Raise the Shield, but the creature takes persistent bleed damage every round equal to the number of damage dice. This persistent bleed can't end as long as the creature is impaled on the shield. You can Release the shield to leave it embedded in the creature. This ends the grab but doesn't end the persistent bleed damage. The creature can remove the shield and end the grab by attempting a check to Escape. This normally uses your Athletics DC to Escape, but if you're no longer holding the shield, the Escape DC is 31.
