Mechanik’s Union

The Blast Pike is primarily used by the infamous Iron Fang of Khador to demolish ‘jacks on the northern warzones. This weapon is a 10-foot long masterwork pike with a primary head that houses either a spear tip or a blasting cap, and an additional spearhead on the opposite end as a back up weapon. The Blast Pike has reach, you can strike opponents 10ft away with it, but you cant use it against an adjacent foe. If the wielder of the Blast Pike uses a ready action to set it against a charge, the blasting pike will deal double damage of a successful hit against a charging opponent.

Loading a blasting pike is a move action that provoked an attack of opportunity. A successful attack made with a primed Blast Pike causes the target hit to make a reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 attack bonus) or become prone. A Blast Pike is to large to be used in one hand without special training; thus, it is an exotic weapon. A character can use a Blast Pike two handed as a martial weapon. As a special military force weapon this item is generally not available for purchase.
