Splintering Weapon (Feat)

Your fragile weapon works to your advantage, breaking off fragments in wounds you inflict.

Prerequisites: BAB +1, proficient with Fragile weapon

Benefit: You ignore all deleterious effects of the Broken condition when it applies to a Fragile weapon you are proficient with. Any other item which gains the broken condition affects you normally.

Special: Whenever you use a proficiently-wielded melee or thrown weapon with the fragile weapon quality and hit an opponent, you can choose to deliberately give your weapon the Broken condition in order to inflict 1d4 points of bleed damage on that opponent, in addition to the normal damage for the attack.

Special: If your weapon already has the Broken condition, and you use it to strike a foe that is already bleeding, you can force that bleed to trigger on that foe each time you swing at them, hit or miss, in addition to triggering normally at the start of each of that enemy's turns. You must attack a bleeding target to cause the bleed to trigger, and your weapon must already be broken. Note that this does not increase the amount of damage caused by the bleed, it just causes that bleed damage to occur each time you attack that foe with your broken weapon.
