Tidal Crossbow
Level 13The beak and talons of a tidehawk form the triggering mechanism of this +2 greater striking crossbow . Its grip is constantly damp, though this doesn't affect your ability to keep ahold of the weapon. When used in aquatic combat, a tidal crossbow doesn't have its range increments halved. A tidal crossbow deals 1d4 additional bludgeoning damage on a successful Strike. On a critical hit, the bow's additional damage is instead 1d4 bludgeoning splash damage, and the target must succeed at a DC 31 reflex save or be pushed back 5 feet. The bow critical specialization effect applies to creatures with the water trait even if it wouldn't normally.
