Teethblade (3.5e Equipment)



A teethblade is a massive greatsword with a blunt blade with sharp teeth-like metal shard inserted all along the edge. A teethblade can be used as a martial weapon without penalty.

A creature with exotic weapon proficiency (teethblade) discover it true potential: As a swift action it can become powered, causing the sharp teeth on the blade to starting rotating along the edge, shredding anything it touch. When attacking with a powered teethblade you make a touch attack 'a shrefding attack' after the normal attack hit, if the touch attack hit it deal an extra 1d6+strength damages. The shredding attack's damages is multiplied on a critical hit but do not carry any precision damages or extra damage dice such as sneak attacks or combat power and count as if it was made by the primary attack or the purpose of DR and the like.

A teethblade require an energy source to become powered, most common models of teethblade uses energy cells inserted in the hilt. A medium teethblade has enough space in it hilt to place seven energy cells, each attack made with a powered teethblade deplete one energy cell, if the blade deplete all energy cell it become depowered. Changing energy cell require a full-round action. Finally a magical teethblade do not any energy cells or other external power source.
