Battle Lute
1d4B(1d8 two-handed)·Simple·Club·One or two-handed
This reinforced lute is suitable both for use as a handheld musical instrument and for bashing heads should a crowd turn sour. Its strings are finely braided wires that run along its sturdy metal neck. A battle lute adds its item bonus from weapon potency runes (if any) as an item bonus on Performance checks made while using it as an instrument.
Traits
You can use this weapon to Shove with the Athletics skill even if you don't have a free hand. This uses the weapon's reach (if different from your own) and adds the weapon's item bonus to attack rolls as an item bonus to the Athletics check. If you critically fail a check to Shove using the weapon, you can drop the weapon to take the effects of a failure instead of a critical failure.
This weapon can be wielded with two hands. Doing so changes its weapon damage die to the indicated value. This change applies to all the weapon's damage dice, such as those from striking runes.
You knock the target up to 10 feet away from you. This is forced movement.
