Major War Blood Mutagen
Item 17
Price 3,000 gp
Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk L
Activate Interact
Category Elixir
Upon drinking this mutagen, you can feel your blood surge through your body and hear a low-pitched humming in your ears.

Benefit Choose one melee weapon you're holding in one or both hands. You gain the listed item bonus to your attack rolls with this weapon and to Will saves against fear effects. Any attempt to Disarm or otherwise remove the weapon from your hands must exceed the listed DC based on the type of war blood mutagen or the attempt fails.
Drawback You can't voluntarily remove the weapon unless you succeed at an Athletics check at the listed DC, which ends the war blood mutagen's effects; this check takes a single action. If you perform an action with the concentrate trait, you must succeed at a DC 5 flat check or the action is lost.
The item bonus is +4, the DC to remove the weapon is 50, and the duration is 1 hour.
