The Pencil - Spiffo is a novelty pencil decorated with Spiffo, the mascot of the Spiffo's restaurants. It sits in the Memento category. It writes like a normal pencil and doubles as an improvised stabbing weapon.

As a weapon it attacks like a short blade. Its damage is tiny and its reach is very short. It breaks after a single stab. The Spiffo pencil turns up on office desks, in Spiffo's restaurants and at carnival game stalls.

Combat


The pencil stabs like a knife. Each stab deals almost no damage, and the reach is very short. The survivor has to stand right next to the zombie, which is a real risk. The pencil breaks on its first hit. Any knife or short blade does the same job far better.

Uses


The pencil writes. It fills journals, empty notebooks and sheets of paper with notes, and it marks the in-game map and found maps. It also burns as fuel and works as tinder for starting a fire.

Repair


The Pencil - Spiffo has only 1 condition, and the first hit takes it. Hits with it give no Maintenance experience.

Locations


The Pencil - Spiffo is a common find in the right places. Office desks and the desk in a Spiffo's restaurant kitchen hold one about four times in ten. Carnival game stalls hold one on about a fifth of their counters, at the dart, duck shoot, hoop, ring toss and throwing games. Pencil cases, attics, bedrooms, classrooms, closets, daycares and kids' bedrooms carry only a tiny chance.

Notes


  • It weighs twice as much as a plain Pencil, though both are still very light.
  • One stab breaks it, so keep it for writing.
  • It can serve as tinder in a pinch.
