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.

It belongs to Øyensørm.

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 bonuses to Neural Overload and 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-lighted areas this can be used to trigger the Ambush feat.

Location

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