1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.
Created out of the harvested body parts of a crossbow scorpion which has been kept in a state of partial life due to some complicated alchemy, this organic crossbow is made of chitin, tendons, and other flesh with mechanical parts for a trigger and stock. It functions as well as a normal light crossbow in all respects, but those with martial weapon proficiency can use its poison function. As a swift action the user can poison the bolt with crossbow scorpion venom of its size category (Medium: Injury DC 13, 1d3 Con/1d3 Con). If the weapon is enhanced the enhancement bonus applies to the save DC of the poison. Those with the Poison Use ability also add +1 to the DC of the poison. You can also apply any other poison to the bolt as a swift action without provoking attacks of opportunity.
The poison reserves take a moment to recharge. It can fire a poisoned bolt once every 1d4 rounds.
Because it is made of meat, it cannot be made from special materials. However orgacraft only requires 1000 gp and no special ranks to apply. Positive and negative energy also function on the weapon at 1/2 effectiveness.
