Composed of a dark, dull metal, this weapon is cold to the touch. Indeed, it seems to absorb your body heat.
Whenever a bodyfeeder weapon you wield scores a successful critical hit against a living creature, you gain temporary hit points equal to half the damage dealt by the critical hit. These temporary hit points last for up to 1 minute and don’t stack with those from any other source, including additional critical hits with this weapon.
Prerequisites (M): Craft Magic Arms and Armor, vampiric touch.
Prerequisites (P): Craft Psionic Arms and Armor, claws of the vampire.
Cost to Create: Varies.
Source: Magic Item Compendium, page 30. Originally published in Expanded Psionics Handbook, page 165, where the manifester level was set to 12th even though claws of the vampire can be manifested by psychic warriors at 7th level. It was decided to match the caster and manifester levels for consistency.
