Shock stick, Mk 3

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 2d6 electricity damage based on the model (DC 16 Reflex save for half). Rolling a natural 20 on the Reflex save negates all damage. The shock stick is destroyed upon discharge.
