Beaststrike Club

Aura: moderate transmutation
CLl: 6th
Price: 7,300 gp
Weight: 3 lbs.

Description

This +1 club is often decorated with large teeth and carved with stylized images of different animals. As a standard action, the wielder may transform the club into the head or limb of an animal; the weapon's damage does not change but the type of damage changes to suit the shape of the club: bite (piercing), claw (slashing), gore (piercing), slam (bludgeoning), sting (piercing), or talon (slashing). When transformed, the club counts as a natural weapon and a manufactured weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured or natural weapons. The club also counts as the natural weapon of its current shape for the purpose of feats and spells that rely on specific natural weapons, such as Weapon Focus (bite) or the bloody claws spell. If the wielder has the wild shape ability, she can expend one use of wild shape to increase the weapon's damage by one step for the duration of that wild shape as long as the druid remains in contact with the weapon; if the wielder can wild shape at will, the club's damage is always increased in this fashion. If unattended, the club reverts to its normal shape.

Blade of Binding

Aura: faint conjuration
CLl: 3rd
Price: 12,350 gp
Weight: 8 lbs.

Description

This +1 greatsword is decorated with a chain motif. On a successful hit with the sword against a creature of the wielder's size or smaller creature, the wielder can attempt to start a grapple as a free action that doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. If the wielder succeeds at the grapple, the sword blade transforms into a metal chain and wraps around the target, giving the wielder a +5 bonus on further grapple checks against the target. If the target escapes the grapple or the wielder decides to release the target from the grapple, the chain reverts to sword form (with the wielder holding the handle).

The wielder can also let go of the chain's handle while grappling or pinning the target; if so, the chain remains in place and the target gains the entangled condition (Escape Artist DC 20 to slip free, break DC 28, hardness 10, 10 hit points, concentration DC 17 to cast spells while entangled). Another creature can grab the chain's handle as a standard action and will it to revert to sword form as a swift action, which releases the bound creature. If the chain is destroyed, it reverts to sword form and the weapon gains the broken condition.

Boulderhead Mace

Aura: moderate transmutation
CLl: 9th
Price: 6,812 gp
Weight: 8 lbs.

Description

The head of this +1 heavy mace is made from a single piece of roughly spherical granite. Once per day the wielder can command the mace to release this head, which grows to the size of a Large boulder and rolls quickly in a direction the wielder specifies. The boulder rolls in a straight line up to 60 feet, trampling everything in its path for 3d8+5 damage (Reflex half DC 19). The boulder collapses into rubble and dust at the end of its path or if it encounters an obstacle it cannot break through or roll over, creating a 10-foot-square area of difficult terrain. A new stone mace-head grows on the weapon's haft over the next 24 hours, and it is unusable as a weapon until the head regrows.

Dustburst Bullet

Aura: faint conjuration
CLl: 5th
Price: 196 gp
Weight: 1/2 lb.

Description

This gritty and irregular +1 sling bullet explodes into a cloud of choking dust when it successfully strikes its target. This fills a 5-foot cube and follows the target for 1d6 rounds before dispersing. Any creature ending its turn in the cloud must make a DC 13 Fortitude save or be sickened and blinded for 1 round.

Guarding Blade

Aura: moderate transmutation
CLl: 15th
Price: 65,310 gp
Weight: 2 lbs.

Description

This +1 dancing short sword automatically rises up to defend a fallen or sleeping wielder. To trigger the sword's activation, the wielder must fall unconscious or die while wielding the weapon or holding it in hand. Thereafter, should any creature other than an ally of the wielder attempt to touch or strike him with melee attacks, the sword attacks that creature for up to 4 rounds. After 4 rounds, the weapon drops in the wielder's square. Unless the guarding blade is an intelligent item, it lacks the wits to make decisions about which is the best opponent to attack, and when confronted by multiple opponents attacking the wielder it tends to select a random target each round.

Lance of Jousting

Aura: faint evocation
CLl: 5th
Price: 4,310 gp
Weight: 10 lbs.

Description

This ornately designed +1 lance streams with ribbons and small favors, allowing a wielder to more effectively knock an opponent from his mount. A successful hit with a lance of jousting on a mounted opponent forces the target to make a Ride check (DC 10 + damage dealt) to avoid being knocked from the saddle. Although used in combat to remove a mounted foe's advantage, use of a lance of jousting in a tournament or similar contest is generally considered a dishonorable form of cheating.

Ricochet Hammer

Aura: moderate transmutation
CLl: 7th
Price: 20,301 gp
Weight: 2 lbs.

Description

This +1 returning light hammer can strike multiple foes with a single throw. If the wielder has multiple attacks from a high base attack bonus, he may throw the hammer so it rebounds off the first target to strike at a second target, and so on for each of the wielder's additional attacks. The distance to each target adds to the total range of the weapon, and range penalties apply. For example, a 6th-level dwarf fighter can throw the hammer using his +6 BAB at a target 20 feet away (within one range increment, no range penalty); if it hits, he ricochets it to a attack using his +1 BAB at a second target 40 feet away from the first target (within three range increments for a –4 range penalty). The hammer can only ricochet if it successfully hits a target; if it misses, it stops ricocheting and has no further attacks that round, and returns as normal for a weapon with the returning property. Because ricocheting attacks are treated as separate attacks, modifiers that only apply to one attack roll (such as true strike) only apply to the first attack and not the others. The ricochet attacks count as the wielder's additional attacks for that round.

Shieldsplitter Lance

Aura: moderate evocation
CLl: 10th
Price: 18,310
Weight: 10 lbs.

Description

This +1 keen lance has the ability to penetrate and destroy shields. Whenever its wielder uses it to successfully strike an opponent who carries a shield, the opponent's shield takes the same damage as the opponent. If the wielder uses the lance to make a sunder attack against a shield, it bypasses the shield's hardness.

Searing Arrow

Aura: moderate evocation
CLl: 9th
Price: 1,516 gp
Weight: &mdash

Description

This +1 flaming arrow continues to burn its target each round, dealing 1d6 fire damage on the attacker's turn for the next 3 rounds. Removing the arrow requires a DC 10 Heal check and prevents any further damage from the arrow (the DC increases to 15 if the target tries to remove the arrow from himself). Removing the arrow destroys it, and it burns up once the 3 rounds pass.

Sizzling Arrow

Aura: moderate evocation
CLl: 9th
Price: 1,516 gp
Weight: &mdash

Description

This +1 corrosive arrow continues to leak acid onto its target each round, dealing 1d6 acid damage on the attacker's turn for the next 3 rounds. Removing the arrow is a DC 10 Heal check and prevents any further damage from the arrow (the DC increases to 15 if the target tries to remove the arrow from himself). Removing the arrow destroys it, and it dissolves up once the 3 rounds pass.

Sparkwake Starknife

Aura: moderate evocation
CLl: 8th
Price: 21,324 gp
Weight: 3 lbs.

Description

A faint trail of sparks marks the passage of this +1 shock starknife whenever it is thrown. Once per day its wielder may throw it so it transforms into an 8d6 lightning bolt (Reflex DC 14 half), returning to its physical form at the end of the bolt's path.

Spirit Blade

Aura: moderate abjuration
CLl: 10th
Price: 48,502 gp
Weight: 1 lbs.

Description

This almost transparently thin weapon is often decorated with strange faces and swirling mist. In addition to being a +3 ghost touch dagger, it can cast dispel magic once per day.

Tangle Bolt

Aura: strong conjuration
CLl: 12th
Price: 226 gp
Weight: &mdash

Description

Often etched with images of spider webs or swampy vines, this sickly green +1 seeking bolt transforms into sticky goo when it hits, entangling its target and becoming tough and resilient upon exposure to air. In addition to the bolt damage, the target is entangled as if it had been hit by a tanglefoot bag.

Trident of Stability

Aura: faint transmutation
CLl: 3rd
Price: 9,815 gp
Weight: 4 lbs.

Description

The base of this sturdy but tarnished +1 trident has a wide metal bar at the bottom, perfectly situated to serve as a solid footrest or other sort of handle. The bar acts as an immovable rod, except instead of an activation button, the immobility power triggers whenever the wielder places one or both feet on the bar, and ends whenever the wielder is no longer touching the bar with at least one foot. If the wielder remains in place and steps on the bar, he gains a +10 bonus to his CMD when trying to resist efforts to move him. The wielder is always considered braced against oncoming charge attacks. If the wielder is falling, he may step on the bar as an immediate action to halt his fall, though the sudden jolt means he takes falling damage for the current distance fallen.

Undercutting Axe

Aura: moderate necromancy
CLl: 9th
Price: 23,310 gp
Weight: 6 lbs.

Description

This +1 giant-bane battleaxe feels unusually heavy, as if it were made from something far heavier than mere wood and steel. Once per day its wearer can, as a swift action after a successful attack roll, invoke a maximized ray of enfeeblement on the creature struck (11 point Strength penalty, 7 rounds, Fortitude DC 16 for half).
