A shiv is a small piercing weapon, which can range from a whittled stick to a metal point. No matter what its make, a Medium-sized shiv deals 1 point of base damage. If the attacker [[SRD:Flanking|flanks]] his opponent or catches them [[SRD:Flat-Footed|flat-footed]], however, the shiv deals 1d6 points of [[SRD:Rogue|sneak attack]] damage, which stacks with sneak attack damage from any other source.

A shiv cannot be made into a masterwork weapon, and thus it can not be enchanted under any circumstances (including by a ''[[SRD:Greater Magic Weapon|greater magic weapon]]'' spell or similar effect).

A shiv is small and easily concealed, granting a +4 bonus to [[SRD:Sleight of Hand|Sleight of Hand]] checks made to conceal it on someone’s person. A shiv is also extremely penetrative, able to ignore 1 point of armor bonus (including natural armor) and damage reduction and 1 more point of each per five points of BAB the wielder possesses.

Due to the necessity of extremely close proximity when using a shiv, it can be used to deliver melee touch attacks. The attack roll does not use the creature's touch AC, however, and is made as a regular attack roll if the shiv is used.
