Many fanged dagger (serpent kingdoms)

[LordSloth]

I'm a bit confused as to the workings of the many fanged dagger in serpent kingdoms.

Does the quadruple effect mean that the dagge deals 4d4 damage, or that your strike deals quadruple damage? (not counting precision based damage offcourse since that never multiplies)

On the one hand it seems overpowered to quad strike dmg.
On the other hand , at higher levels (which the 32k price would indicate) the base weapon dmg is not that important anymore anyway (compared to feats and sneak attacklike things). (and 32k is expensive for an added 3d4 dmg, you can get 2d6 for 1k from crystal according to a mate of mine)

Anyway, how does it work?

What is the wording of the Serpent Dagger?


Your mate is right. The material is called "Deep Crystal" and it is in the Psi Handbook. However, you need to spend 1 PP per hit (as a free action) to charge it up to deal 2d6 damage. Unless you are a psi capable guy of some sort, you can't use it.
