Instrumental Razorbow (3.5e Equipment)



The instrumental razorbow is the other half of many a stringed instrument such as violins or bass, and functions in tandem with such instruments as well. However the strings have been specially made from durable and sharp threads which can cut flesh and bone as easily as any blade. With a re-enforced backing, those with instrumental razorbows can play stringed instruments and attack within the same motion, allowing bards to play and enter melee at the same time. However, standard instruments would be sliced in half with this, and so any stringed instrument must be of masterwork quality with a 25 gp surcharge (that is, 125 gp total).

Those with level in bard and at least Dex 13 may treat the instrumental razorbow as a martial weapon, though this does not immediately grant them proficiency if they cannot use martial weapons.
