Description

When placed into a living creature’s mouth (as a standard action provoking attacks of opportunity), this sharp orca tooth instantly grafts itself into the creature’s jaw. The user gains a bite attack as a primary natural attack. This attack deals 1d6 points of piercing damage for a Medium user or 1d4 points of piercing damage for a Small user. The bite attack counts as a magic weapon for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. The user also gains a swim speed of 40 feet and takes no damage from immersion in cold water, though he may still contract immersion foot syndrome. The user gains the ability to communicate with dolphins, including orcas, as the speak with animals spell and also receives a +5 competence bonus to Handle Animal and wild empathy checks with dolphins. The effects granted by the magical tooth last for 1 hour. Afterward, the tooth immediately disintegrates. Only living creatures gain any benefit from this item.
