Spined Blade, Rivener

One-Handed

Basic Melee

Kasathas on their home world wielded spined blades to better poison foes. Replicas of these ancient weapons can be found in the Museum of Ancestral Technology on the Idari. Modern warriors use refined versions of the weapon that are effective at delivering poisons and similar substances through contemporary armor. You apply such substances to the blade per rules found on page 232 of the Core Rulebook. While the basic version of the spined blade is generally analog, more advanced buzzblade, ripper, gravity, and rivener models are powered weapons.
