Pocket sand (may also be referred to as a bag of pocket sand) is a type of exotic melee weapon.
Stats
This weapon has two modes available, Throw sand and Strike.
Throw sand
When used in this mode, you will attempt throwing sand at another creature's eyes, provided they are close enough.
This weapon uses self-contained ammunition and is non-refillable. A brand-new bag contains enough sand for 32 sand throws.
This mode works according to the following rules and conditions:
- Uses the Thrown weapons skill.
- Each attack will consume 1 throw. If there are no more sand throws remaining, this mode can no longer be used.
- Is not a Ranged attack; you must target an opponent within Melee range to use this mode, as with other melee weapons.
- If the target creature has no eyes, this mode has no effect; attacking would only waste a sand throw. Otherwise, make a regular attack roll:
- On a successful hit, the target creature's eyes are sanded and they receive an FT+2 effect for 2 turns.
- A critical failure will pop the bag, immediately reducing the remaining sand throws to 0.
Strike
| Damage type | LDV | Pain (C1) | Pain (C2) | Pain (A1) | Pain (A2) | Pain (A3) | Pain (A4) | Pain (A5) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blunt | -2 | 20% | 19% | 16% | 13% | 10% | 5% | 2% |
This mode works according to the following rules and conditions:
- Uses the One-handed club skill.
- The amount of damage dealt varies depending on the amount of remaining sand throws; as the bag of sand gets lighter and lighter, it becomes less effective as a striking weapon.
- 25 or more: 1.0x damage
- 17 to 24: 0.5x damage
- 8 to 16 0.25x damage
- 7 or less: 0.0x damage (effectively useless)
