weapon deals double damage, much like a mounted warrior
with the Spirited Charge feat. More than one doubling of
damage increases the damage multiple by one per additional
doubling, so double-double damage is triple damage, tripledouble
damage is quadruple damage, and so on.
Caster Level: 12th; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, righteous might; Market Price: +1 bonus.
Vampiric: Any living opponent struck by a vampiric
weapon must make a Fortitude save (DC 16) or lose an additional
1d4 hit points, which are immediately added to the
wielder's current hit point total.
Any hit points above the wielder's
maximum are treated as temporary
hit points (multiple additions
of temporary hit points
don't stack) and disappear after
1 hour.
Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites:
Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, vampiric touch; Market
Price: +2 bonus.
SPECIFIC MAGIC
WEAPONS
The following weapons usually
are constructed with exactly the
abilities described here.
Aglarondan Flight Lance: This
+2 shock lance is made especially
for griffonriders. Once per day,
the wielder may use feather fall
(caster level 8th), on herself
only, as a free action.
Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites:
Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, feather fall, call lightning
or lightning bolt; Market
Price: 21,510 gp; Cost to Create:
10,910 gp + 848 XP.
Ebon Lash: Created by and for Red Wizards, the ebon lash
is a +2 scourge that inflicts searing agony on its victims. Any
living creature struck by the scourge in a successful melee
attack must make a Fortitude save (DC 11) or be dazed for 1
round and crippled by pain for 6 rounds, taking a –2 penalty
on all attack rolls, saving throws, and checks. Spellcasters suffering
from this effect are distracted and must make Concentration
checks to cast spells (see the Concentration skill in
the Player's Handbook). The pain effect is the same as that
caused by the spell Nybor's gentle reminder, as if cast by a 6thlevel
sorcerer.
Caster Level: 6th; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, Nybor's gentle reminder; Market Price: 20,320 gp;
Cost to Create: 10,320 gp + 800 XP.
Flamelance: Crafted by Red Wizards for their favored warriors,
the flamelance is a +1 flaming burst lance that may be

wielded as a longspear by a character on foot at no penalty.
On command, the flamelance can fire a jet of white-hot flame
as Aganazzar’s scorcher cast by a 6th-level sorcerer. This
deals 3d8 points of damage (Reflex half DC 13) in a 5-footwide
path 40 feet long. The flamelance can produce fifty such
blasts before this power is exhausted, after which it is simply
a +1 flaming burst lance.
Caster Level: 12th; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, Aganazzar’s scorcher, and flame blade, flame strike,
or fireball; Market Price: 39,910 gp; Cost to Create: 20,110
gp + 1,584 XP.
Spectral Dagger: Fashioned
from a bone of a creature that
died violently, this appears to
be just a dagger hilt made of
bone. When a creature grasps
the hilt, a dagger "blade" of
light appears. (Treat the
weapon as a dagger for proficiency,
feats, and so on.) The
blade winks out when the hilt
leaves the wielder's hand.
The spectral dagger has no
attack bonus and deals no
damage, but any target struck
is affected by a chill touch
spell (DC 11). Striking with
the spectral dagger is considered
a touch attack. Creatures
with multiple attacks may use
the spectral dagger in a full
attack action to strike more
than once per round just as if
they wielded a normal dagger.
Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites:
Craft Magic Arms
and Armor, chill touch;
Market Price: 20,000 gp.
Thayan Bombard: The
Thayan bombard is a magical
cannon that can launch a variety
of dangerous or noxious bombs. The effects depend on the
missile launched. Firing the weapon is a standard action, requiring
a ranged touch attack to strike the desired space. (The
touch AC of an empty square is 5.) The Thayan bombard has
a range increment of 150 feet, and like any projectile weapon,
can fire up to 10 range increments at the normal –2 penalty
per range increment. If the ranged touch attack misses, resolve
the bomb’s effect as a grenadelike weapon (see Chapter
3: Running the Game in the DUNGEON MASTER’s Guide).
Once fired, the Thayan bombard requires three separate
Profession (siege engineer) skill checks (DC 10) to clear, load
with a new bomb, and prepare for firing. A skilled crew of
four can fire the weapon every round with a little cooperation,
while a smaller or less proficient crew takes longer (although
a single skilled character can fire the bombard once every 4
rounds, provided he makes successful checks).
