Viper Rapier

Crafted from flawless jade, the guard of this rapier takes the form of a twisting serpent with the blade thrusting from its open mouth. This rapier functions as a +3 greater striking quickstrike rapier. While wielding the rapier, your movement doesn't trigger reactions when you Stride, Balance, or Tumble Through. When you invest the rapier, you either increase your Dexterity modifier by 1 or increase it to +4, whichever would give you a higher value.
