Inoculating

Aura moderate transmutation CL 5th

Price +1 bonus; Weight —

An inoculating weapon is similar to an injecting weapon, except that it can hold up one dose only of an elixir, infused extract, injury poison, or potion. As a swift action, the wielder of an inoculating weapon can inject the stored liquid in a creature’s body after a successful hit. The substance takes effect immediately, despite any onset period, and the target receives the normal saving throw (if any) against the substance. In the case of a personal infused extract, the opponent receives both a Fortitude save and spell resistance. Only bladed weapons can be made into inoculating weapons. Filling or refilling the weapon’s reservoir is a full-round action.
