Shock stick, Mk 1

Technological

This item appears to be a simple credstick but is actually a charged capacitor ready to shock whoever picks it up. Though it was originally created as a prank item, engineers have devised much more dangerous models whose shocks can even be lethal. A character must be actively searching to be able to distinguish a shock stick from a real credstick and must succeed at a Perception check with a DC of 20 + the shock stick’s item level. Once a shock stick is activated as a standard action, it is safe to handle or deactivate (another standard action) for 1 minute, until it reaches full charge. After that, the first creature or metal object to touch it takes 2 electricity damage based on the model (DC 12 Reflex save for half). Rolling a natural 20 on the Reflex save negates all damage. The shock stick is destroyed upon discharge.
