New Magic Item – Cat’s Claw

Emikiss the Gray, known as Emi the Mouse to most, moved to the upper ranks of pickpocket in the city of Kes after acquiring a cat’s claw from the pack of a drunken adventurers.  Needless to say, Emi keeps the blade well hidden.

Cat’s Claw

This small curved knife has a blade that folds into the handle making it extremely easy to conceal.  The blade is exceedingly sharp and the metal is dulled so it does not catch the light.  They are prized by cutpurses and pick pockets.

Folding or unfolding the blade is a move equivalent action unless you have the Quick Draw feat, then it is a free action.  While folded, the cat’s claw gives its bearer a +7 competence bonus to Slight of Hand checks made to conceal it.  When it is unfolded it is a +1 dagger that gives a +5 competence bonus to Slight of Hand checks made to cut purses and pick pockets.
