Forceblade (3.5e Equipment)



Forceblade: A Forceblade weapon appears to be ghostly, translucent and often glowing as if made of a glassy version of its base material. As it is swung through the air it creates a gentle vroom vroom noise and crackles.

Summary::Force Weapons deal force damage instead of the normal slashing, bludgeoning, or piercing damage of the weapon, bypassing damage reduction, and being effected by any energy resistance to force, though such resistance is rare. It still counts as a weapon of its original type for the purpose of interacting with enhancements such as Keen or ImpactMIC. A Shield spell prevents the damage from a Forceblade weapon, but not from any other source of damage the sword may carry such as Flaming or Shocking Burst. For example, a shocking forceblade longsword deals 1d8 + Str force damage and 1d6 electric damage.

A Forceblade weapon can strike at ghosts normally, and do not suffer the miss chance from their ethereal nature.
