Damage 1d6 Bludgeoning
Type Simple
Price 225 gp
Weight 1 bulk
This spine and skull of a slain hydra has been picked clean by a carrion bird and crafted into this +1 striking club. In addition to its normal traits, the hydra head club also has the modular P trait, as it can be manipulated to cause the jaws to spring open. Even in death, its head twitches independently. The creature's famed regenerative powers are still present, despite the creature's death; if damaged, the hydra head club repairs itself at the rate of 1 Hit Point per minute, unless it has been completed destroyed.

Effect The hydra head club snaps with a momentary burst of its former glory. Your Strike attempt deals an additional 1d6 damage. If your Strike misses, the activation does not count against the hydra head club's activation frequency.

Traits
This rarity indicates that a rules element is very difficult to find in the game world. A rare feat, spell, item or the like is available to players only if the GM decides to include it in the game, typically through discovery during play. Creatures with this trait are rare. They typically can't be summoned. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to these creatures is increased by 5.
MagicalSomething with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
ModularThe weapon has multiple configurations that you can switch between using an Interact action. Typically, switching between configurations of a modular weapon allows it to deal different types of damage (listed in the trait, such as "modular B, P, or S"), though it's possible for a modular weapon's description to list more complicated configurations.
ThrownYou can throw this weapon as a ranged attack. A thrown weapon adds your Strength modifier to damage just like a melee weapon does. When this trait appears on a melee weapon, it also includes the range increment.
