 ^{{ra>hand-emblem?48|Active Logistics}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Spike Repair:** You can repair your spikes with time and materials. As a procedure of effort, you reduce the effective number of times you've used Ablation by 1. For example, if you'd used Ablation three times (thus having a failure chance of 9 with all Bristler attacks) and then repaired your spikes once, you would act as if you'd only used Ablation twice instead (giving you a failure chance of 6 with all Bristler attacks instead). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Supplies:** Roll a trigger die every time you repair your spikes with this ability. If the result is 1-6, then doing so costs 1 point of Supplies.

This is an alternate use of your Bristler spikes and all the below features and modifications (Backstab, Assassinate, Size Failure, Concealment Failure) only apply to Bristler attacks when you are using Spike Slam. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Backstab:** When using Spike Slam to attack a target that cannot see you, you deal +2 damage. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Assassinate:** When you use Spike Slam to attack a creature of your own level or lower that wasn't expecting to be attacked, it instantly dies. Creatures that are higher-level than you are immune to assassination and your attack is resolved normally against them. Assassination strikes can fail just like normal strikes (due to concealment, size differences, etc). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Size Failure:** When using Spike Slam to attack, smaller creatures are harder to hit with your weapon, and larger ones are harder to meaningfully damage.

You do not gain this benefit when using the weapon in the standard way as a counter. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Standard Failures:** When using Spike Slam to attack, you suffer the normal failure chances for size (3 per category of difference between you and your target) and concealment (3 for partial, 6 for total). You do not suffer these penalties when using the weapon in the standard way as a counter. |
