Greater Striking

The weapon deals +3 damage. Prerequisites: Lesser striking, striking. enchantments. Note, however, that these enchantments do not make a nonmagic item magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction, except as noted in the text below. Some weapon enchantments activate on a random basis. When such an enchantment activates, its effects occur immediately, and may persist for a short period. Activation occurs when the weapon's attack roll is high enough, as defined in the enchantment's description. Typically a natural 20 is required, although sometimes a 19 or 20 activates the enchantment's power. Activation occurs regardless of whether or not a critical hit is confirmed. Some weapon enchantments cause the weapon to glow or show another visible effect. An enchanter can automatically identify such enchantments with a glance, and other characters can do so with a DC 15 Spellcraft check. If a weapon glows, it illuminates an area in the same way that a glowing magic weapon does. If the weapon itself has a glow from another magical source, the two light sources coexist without increasing the illumination radius. Enchantments that add special abilities apply those abilities only when the weapon is wielded. The term "wielded" means held in the hand, ready for action. Simply having the weapon strapped to one's back or in a scabbard is not wielding it. A weapon held in an off hand is considered wielded even if it is not used to attack.
