Weapons Description

Throwing-knife, Desert

A scorpion-tail whip is made from the dried tail of a large monstrous scorpion, with the stinger intact. Used by some of the crueler desert tribes, the whip deals nonlethal damage except on a critical hit. On a critical hit, the whip deals lethal damage and injects a small amount of Large monstrous scorpion venom (injury, Fortitude DC 18, initial and secondary damage 1d6 Str), which is stored in a small bladder in the stinger. The bladder can hold only one dose at a time, and adding a dose of venom takes 1 minute. The whip can hold any other contact or injury poison (see page 297 of the Dungeon Master's Guide for details on other poisons).

Preferred weapon of: No known deity.
