Spiked Pauldrons

Class:Vizier
Chakra: Shoulders
Saving Throw:See text

The intimidation factor alone of this spiky and razor-edged manifestation makes them a favorite of veilweavers with a particularly brutal bent.

These translucent and oversized shoulder guards discourage enemies from laying hands on their wearer. While manifesting this veil, you gain a +2 to CMD against attempts to start or maintain a grapple, and any creature in a grapple with you takes 1d4 piercing damage each round until the grapple is broken

Essence

Each point of essence invested in this ability increases the bonus to CMD by +2 and the damage dealt to grappling opponents by 1d4.

Chakra Bind (Shoulders)

Binding this wicked veil to your Shoulders chakra makes you slightly less cuddly than a rabid dire porcupine. While this veil is bound, increase the damage dice dealt to grappling creatures to d6s instead of d4s.

In addition, you can spend a standard action to send a flurry of deadly spikes lashing out around you. These spikes deal piercing damage equal to the veil’s normal damage bonus to grappling creatures to all creatures in a 10 foot radius around you.
