Heavenly Burst Weapon
Book of Exalted Deeds
James Wyatt, Christopher Perkins, Darrin Drader
Legacy Rules
On a successful critical hit against an evil creature, this weapon releases a Radiant Burst that deals an extra 3d6 points of damage and blinds the target for 1 round. A successful DC 14 Fortitude save negates the blindness. Bows, crossbows and slings with the property pass the effect to their ammunition.
Each time the Radiant Burst discharges, the wielder takes 1d2 points of temporary Strength damage.
Using the Property
The effect triggers only on the specified critical hit and only against an evil creature. Resolve the additional damage, blindness save and temporary Strength damage using the legacy rules in which the property appears.
