Chapter 1 - Non-weapon Proficiencies
Gae Bolga Non-weapon Proficiency
(must be from Celtic area)
This is the rarest of all feats. It requires a dexterity of 17 and proficient with spear first.
The Gae Bolga is a barbed spear, which must be thrown using the foot rather than the hand. If it strikes, the spear's barbs tear through the victim's flesh terribly, almost guaranteeing death.
When this feat is used, the character may make no other attacks in that round or the next and loses all dexterity based AC adjustments for those two rounds. This is because the feat requires absolute concentration and leave the character off balance. A normal attack roll is made for the attack, and if it succeeds the character may use his level as a multiplier for he spear's damage. Thus, in the hands of a 3rd level character, the Gae Bolga cause triple normal damage, with in the hands of a 10th level character damage is multiplied by 10.
