Baton (3.5e Equipment)

Batons are twirling sticks used in performances of marching bands, and now for bludgeoning the living daylights out of people. Easy to spin, it's little more than a club. A club with STYLE.

Because it is so easily handled you may use Weapon Finesse on a Baton as if it were a light weapon. In addition you may not hold a baton with two hands, as it is too short. You gain a +2 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks made while using the baton, a +1 increase of DC to fascinate a create by bardic music or spell, and a +1 Dodge bonus when fighting defensively as you draw your enemies eyes away from you and onto the twirling baton.

A baton gives a +1 bonus to Perform (Dance) checks, which stack with each other, as long as it is being used.
