A death bill is a favorite weapon of redcaps; losing one results in exile or death. Wounds from the death bill do not bleed, but look like moisture has been sucked from the body. Three times each day, the wielder can send an arc of dust out from the swinging death bill. This dust draws moisture out of the victim's body. Once per day, a death knell spell can be cast when a blow from the death bill will result in knocking an opponent unconscious.
