The spikes of this
+2 greater striking standard-grade adamantine morningstar have a faintly green shimmer, as if resembling Ayrzul’s crystalline teeth. The weapon vibrates briefly when first drawn in or carried into a radioactive area, with the intensity of the vibration correlating to the radioactivity’s strength. While you carry
Boughshatter, you gain a +4 status bonus to saving throws against radiation, including
Ayrzul’s Blight.

Effect Make a
Strike with the morningstar that deals an extra die of weapon damage. If you make this Strike against a
fungus,
plant, or creature with the
wood trait, the Strike ignores 10 points of the target’s resistances to bludgeoning and piercing damage, if any. By damaging such a creature, the morningstar causes the target’s flesh to explode in a shower of splinters that affect a 30-foot cone originating from the target’s space, dealing 8d6 piercing damage to creatures in the area (DC 30
basic Reflex save). You and the target are unaffected by these splinters.

Boughshatter, granting the weapon the effects of either a

dim green light in a 20-foot radius.
