Hairpin Needles (Steel Spike Needle)

    Hairpin needles are metal needles with a point at both ends. They often  serve a medical purpose, being used to strike acupuncture points. They  can be thrown with great accuracy, despite the fact that they have very  little ability to kill easily.

      A user with proper medical lore  (Lore:Healing, Acupuncture Skill, etc), however, can effectively use  Hairpin needles in battle to incapacitate or even kill their target  should they aim for vital spots (Called Shot: -30 to skill check;  Agility TS 4 to avoid).

      To make these needles more effective, the user  can poison the tips of them. An added benefit of throwing these at the  enemy is that they are smaller than throwing knifes making them harder  to see and dodge (Agility or Perception check TS 6 to avoid).
