Description[edit]
The spiker fires spikes that pierce the flesh and cause injury. Due to the nature of the ammunition, the target receives a -2 penalty to defense when being fired upon.
The Spiker can alternatively be used as a Close Quarters weapon at a -4 penalty for 2d4 damage. Taking the Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Brute Weapons) negates this penalty.
