Vampire Killer

When you reach the 20th level, you finally complete your combat cross, attaching a stake tip at its pommel, which grants the weapon its reputation of "vampire killer". You can use the stake as a spear you wield in one hand.

When used against fiend and undead creatures, you cause +3d6 damage (which can be done only once per turn), and it can also be used as a stake against vampires.
