Høddurform Melee Weapon

You're not sure, but it seems that the snake actually bites the target with each strike, yet the staff remains a completely rigid object despite your scrutiny. Additionally, the snake's teeth seem to be an inexhaustible source of poison and acid. Merely holding it evokes dread and a veil of almost imperceptible darkness ever lingers before your very eyes.

Høddurform is a unique sørmirbæren staff, classified as a spear.

Description

While the Høddurform deals fairly low damage per hit, it has a chance to inflict both Heartbreak and Leper poison on its victim with every strike. Additionally, wielding the staff grants significant damage bonus to Neural Overload and causes Cerebral Acidization with each such attack and gives a boost to Intimidation. It also increases the psi cost of all psi abilities, and incurs a Health penalty on the user.

While the Høddurform is equipped, it casts a weak shadow around the player character. In less well-lit areas this can be used to trigger the Ambush feat.

NOTE: Minimal Strength is not required to gain the bonuses given by this weapon.

Location

Carried by Øyensørm inside Sørmirbæren Temple in front of Black Rock Totem.
