Exotic Magic Weapons

Rilgar leaned on his double-axe as he watched Selena and

Aragantos pore over the items recovered from their latest

adventure. Aragantos squinted at each of the items the

rogue placed in front of him, attempting to discern their

special qualities.

"Magic. Strong. Evocation." He pronounced, looking

over a longsword. Selena nodded,

"I think it's a flaming burst weapon based on what it

did to poor Mydran. How about the battleaxe?"

"Magic. Moderate. Transmutation."

Rilgar sighed and glanced at the double-axe he had

carried since leaving his tribe years before. It looked like he

was going to have to try and scrape together the gold to get it

enchanted himself.

Why is it that in the majority of d20 sourcebooks

and adventures, the magical weapons with the

most interesting abilities are always longswords,

greatswords, and battleaxes? Characters who

choose to wield unusual weapons often end up

with generic +1 or +2 items while their more

mainstream compatriots enjoy the benefits of

frost brands, holy avengers and sun blades. The

situation is particularly galling for those who have

invested one of their feats in proficiency with an

exotic weapon, only to find that they would have

been better off going with the 'usual suspects'.

Twenty Treasures: Exotic Magic Weapons

provides a unique and distinctive magic weapon

for each of the nineteen exotic weapons found in

the core D20 game. It also includes the statistics

for a new exotic weapon, the Egyptian khopesh

sword, alongside a unique khopesh ready to be

introduced into your game.

Equipped with these new items, your exotic

weapon-wielding characters will finally get some

of the attention they deserve.

Hook: A gigantic tendriculous has taken over a

stretch of the main trade route in the area,

crippling the economy. The creature seems

resistant to the bludgeoning weapons that can

normally damage its kind (DR 10/slashing). The

authorities want to use the Axe of the Deeping to

destroy the creature, but how can they convince

the dwarves to allow a weapon of heroes to be

used to destroy "an overgrown shrub"?

Ata kb pda Daalejc

This heavy axe has a single broad blade of black

cold iron, etched with runes that are invisible to

normal sight but glow white when viewed with

darkvision. The runes read "Indomitable" in

Dwarven.

The haft of the weapon is also cold iron, and

bears seventeen stars etched with acid along its

length. The grip is bound in trollskin leather to

cushion the shock of blows.

Abilities: The Axe of the Deeping is a +1 cold iron

dwarven waraxe . When used to attack a regenerating

creature, damage inflicted by the Axe of the Deeping

is treated as acid damage for the purposes of

determining whether or not it inflicts lethal

damage on the creature.

The axe can draw upon the power of the earth

when attacking, giving the wielder a +1 bonus to

both attack and damage rolls if both he and his

target are touching the ground.

This connection grows more powerful when

the axe is in the hands of the dwarf, allowing the

wielder to imbue himself with the resilience of

stone once per day. This is a command-word

activated ability that grants the wielder damage

reduction 8/adamantine for a period of 5 rounds.

Background: Just over a hundred years ago,

miners from the Dwarven settlement of Tergal

Deeping accidentally tunneled into the lair of a

tribe of albino trolls. Before the community could

close the rift, the trolls poured out the tunnel and

slaughtered everyone they found.

Only a small group of survivors managed to

flee along the narrow tunnel that lead to the

closest community of allies, and they fled with the

trolls hot on their heels. Each time the pursuing

trolls caught up with them, a volunteer would

make a stand in the tunnel, giving his or her life so

that the others could continue their escape.

Seventeen warriors fell in this manner, each

buying precious minutes for those who continued

to retreat.

When the remaining survivors made it to

safety, they immediately set about planning an

assault that would retake Tergal Deeping. The

remaining trolls were slain with steel and fire, and

the settlement was reclaimed less than two months

after it fill. In memory of the seventeen warriors

that gave their lives to save the community, the

master smith Badanar Gildstone forged the Axe of

the Deeping .

This weapon consists of a thick, fibrous vine of

dark green-brown hue. Dozens of hooked,

vicious-looking thorns stud its eight foot length,

while the two ends broaden into what appear to

be heavy seed pods. Each pod is attached to the

central vine by a gnarled, knot-like joint.

Skills: In addition to the normal means of

learning an item's background, characters can

learn about the Axe of the Deeping with a DC 20

Gather Information check in any Dwarven

community,

Background: Stracus Parr was a gladiator slave in

the arenas of an ancient empire. A master of the

spiked chain, he was being transported to a match

in a neighboring city when the caravan was

attacked by brigands. The lock on Parr's wagon

was damaged in the fight and the gladiator

escaped into a nearby forest. He learned to survive

in the wild and over the years the fugitive became

a protector of the forest, discovering powers he

never dreamed of during his years in the arena.

Briarthorn was Parr's greatest creation; a spiked

chain created entirely from plant-life he had

shaped and strengthened with his magic. Stracus

used it for the first time when he decimated an

invading force of ogres, and it remained his

weapon of choice for the rest of his life. It has

been passed on to many defenders of the

wilderness in the centuries since then.

This kama has a shaft of finest teak, sanded

smooth and polished until it shines with a luster

like gold. The base of the shaft is carved in the

shape of a closed fist.

The weapon's blade is adamantine, elegantly

engraved with a series of abstract illustrations of

mountains. A haiku is engraved in tiny symbols

above the mountains:

Skills: In addition to the normal means of

learning an item's background, characters can

learn about Briarthorn with a DC 25 Knowledge

(nature) check.

A hand strikes wisely,

When it strikes with clear purpose.

Wise hands crack the earth.

Hook: A barbarian horde invades, led by a mighty

chieftain who carries briarthorn into battle. How

did he get the weapon? Did the druids give it to

him? And if so, what is the cause for their enmity

to the PCs' homeland?

Background: In a distant land there were once

four great masters of philosophy and the martial

arts. Tetsujin Makoha was the champion of the

Stonebreaker Style, a form of martial arts that

teaches its students to recognize the single, perfect

moment to strike for maximum effect.

Cracks the Earth was presented to Tetsujin as a

gift after he attained the highest rank as a master

of the Stonebreaker Style. He carried it with him

for the remainder of his life, until he and the three

other champions fought their final battle against

the 18 Devils of the Jade Gate. Cracks the Earth

was found buried in the eye of one of the devils,

with Tetsujin's lifeless hand still gripping the shaft.

The weapon was kept in the Stonebreaker

Monastery for the next seventy years, but went

missing when the mad Emperor Qin ordered the

monastery burned to the ground.

Abilities: Briarthorn is a +2 druidic dancing spiked

chain . Whenever this weapon's wielder casts

entangle , the affected plants temporarily grow

sharp, hooked thorns. Any creature which begins

its turn in the area of the spell automatically takes

1d4 points of piercing damage before acting.

The possessor of this weapon also gains the

ability to extrude thorns from their own flesh. The

character can extrude or retract these thorns as a

standard action, at will. The thorns project

through the character's armor, if any. Treat the

character as possessing armor spikes whenever the

thorns are extruded.

Hook: When a monk known for his virtue and

good deeds recovers Cracks the Earth from an

ancient tomb, there is celebration. But despair

follows when that same monk suddenly turns to

wickedness and vice. Is he merely showing his true

colors at last, or has some diabolic taint adhered

A druidic dancing weapon acts in all ways like a

dancing weapon, except that only a weapon

made of wood or other plant material may be

made into a druidic dancing weapon.

Strong transmutation; Caster Level: 15th;

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor,

animate plants ; Market Price: +4 bonus.

to the weapon since that great battle many

generations before?

The Crashing Waves were presented to Amiko

when she overcame Heavenly Bull, a mighty

Lammasu that has often interfered with her

school's sometimes dubious activities. She carried

them with her for the remainder of her life, until

she and the three other champions fought their

final battle against the 18 Devils of the Jade Gate.

Many were surprised that Amiko joined the fight,

for she was not known for her altruism, but she

fought with great skill and vigor, before falling in

combat with the greatest of the devils.

The paired sai were buried with Amiko, but

rumors suggest they were retrieved by tome

robbers and they are art large in the world once

more.

Abilities: Cracks the Earth is a +1 adamantine kama .

As a standard action, its wielder can strike the

kama against the ground, causing the earth to

burst upwards in a cone stretching 20 feet in a

direction of her choice. Any creature caught in the

cone must make a DC 11 Reflex save or be

knocked prone. This ability can be used at will.

Once per day, rather than causing the effect

above, Cracks the Earth can be used to open a

fissure in the ground. This fissure is a 5 foot wide

line extending 30 feet in a direction of the

wielder's choice. Any non-flying medium-sized or

smaller creature along this line must make a DC

15 Reflex save or fall into the fissure. The fissure

is 30 feet deep. Climbing out of the fissure

without assistance requires a DC 15 Climb check.

If the fissure runs under a wall or other

structure, that object suffers 3d6 points of

damage, ignoring hardness.

Weak psychokinesis; Manifester Level: 5 th ;

Prerequisites: Craft Psionic Arms and Armor,

stomp, creator must have Power Attack; Market

Price: 18,682 gp; Cost to Create: 10,842 gp + 627 xp.

Hook: An important treaty with the local merfolk

clan is due to be signed, and a suitable gift for the

merfolk king is required. Can the PCs retrieve the

Crashing Waves from Amiko's tomb in time for the

ceremony? Are the sai still there?

Abilities: The Crashing Waves are a pair of +1 sai .

If the character wielding these weapons makes a

successful attack with both sai in the same round,

a foaming sheet of water bursts out of the air and

strikes the target. The victim must make a DC 11

Will save or be dazed for one round by the sudden

soaking.

Once per day, the wielder of the Crashing Wave s

can strike the two sai together as a standard

action, summoning forth a wall of water that

rushes out from the character, spreading into a 30

foot cone. Any creature caught in the path of the

wave must make a DC 15 Fortitude save. Those

that fail are stunned for one round by the impact

of the wave.

Weak metacreativity; Manifester Level: 5 th ;

Prerequisites: Craft Psionic Arms and Armor, psionic

daze , creator must have Two Weapon Fighting;

Market Price: 18,282gp; Cost to Create: 9,442gp +

707xp. Cost and price quoted are for the pair.

Cn]odejc W]rao

This pair of matching sai are forged from a steel

alloy with a pronounced blue sheen. Under diffuse

light (such as the moon) they give off a faint

phosphorescent glow, though not enough to

provide light or to be noticeable at distances

above 5 feet.

The tines on each side of the sai are carved in

the shape of cresting waves, with flecks of white

gems forming the foam at their peak.

Background: In a distant land there were once

four great masters of philosophy and the martial

arts. Amiko Hatsara was the champion of the

Rising Tide School, a form of martial arts that

teaches its students to make a series of ceaseless

attacks, each one more vigorous than the last, in

order to wear down their opponents.
