Wounding (weapon quality)

The wounding quality was a weapon quality that could be added to weapons that shot projectiles or to the projectiles themselves.

Powers
A projectile with the wonding quality caused blood loss for those that were hit by the wielder with the wounding weapon. However, the victims needed a discernable anatomy to suffer from this property. Therefore, creatures like constructs or even plants were unaffected by it.

To craft weapons with the wounding quality, the crafter required knowledge of how to create magical arms and the spell Mordenkainen's sword.

History
The spell bloodspear, which clerics of Gruumsh who were initiated in their faith's secret could cast, allowed them to temporarily turn a spear, their god's favored weapon, into a wounding spear.

The rapiers of puncturing was a special kind of +2 wounding rapier that was often used by the assassins of the Jaezred Chaulssin, such as Nimor Imphraezl.
