Resurgent MaelstromUncommon Source Rival Academies pg. 82While fate may conspire to strip you of your armaments, you’re never helpless. For you, anything can be a dangerous weapon, bolstered by the might of towering waves and crushing tides. You know these tools are transient, and so you think nothing of shattering and reforming them with your magic.
Your attacks with
improvised weapons do not take the normal –2 item penalty. While you wield an improvised weapon, streams of water flow from your limbs to surround the weapon, granting it the
water trait. These improvised weapons have a minimum damage die of 1d6, or 1d4 if the improvised weapon is
agile. Effects that apply runes to your unarmed attacks, like
runic body and
handwraps of mighty blows, also apply those runes to your non-magical improvised weapons. The improvised weapon also gains an additional trait, depending on how many hands it takes to wield. A one- handed improvised weapon gains the
backstabber trait; if it would already have the backstabber trait, double the amount of additional precision damage. A two- handed improvised weapon gains the
forceful trait; if it would already have the forceful trait, treat the number of weapon damage dice the weapon has as 1 higher for the purpose of calculating the additional damage.
While you’re in Arcane Cascade stance, you can manipulate the water around your improvised weapon, making it cut like a knife or bash with the force of falling rocks. The weapon gains the versatile traits for the types of damage that it doesn’t normally deal. For instance, an improvised weapon that normally deals bludgeoning damage gains the
versatile P and versatile S traits.
