Waveblade Greatsword (3.5e Equipment)

While structurally very similar to a unusually long greatsword, the blade is forged into a very 'wavy pattern' and the tip of the blade is curved like a scythe's blade making it extremely tricky to swing and is heavier than a standard greatsword. A character can use a waveblade greatsword as a martial weapon but use the same attack/critical as the normal greatsword. Anyone who master it use however quickly discover how deadly the blade truly is.

A character with exotic weapon proficiency with a waveblade greatsword gain the ability to use the following special maneuvers:

Bloodletting: As part of a melee attack with the waveblade greatsword the wielder of the waveblade greatsword may forsake half of the weapon damage to deal terribly bleeding wound, inflicting 3 points of bleedout. On a confirmed critical hit the struck creature immediately bleedout (as if they have taken a number of bleedout equal to it constitution mod.

Defensive Crescent Strike: As an immediate action you can make a single attack against a creature you threaten that is about to attack you with a melee attack with a +4 bonus, you may only deal slashing damage with this maneuver. If you hit the creature take a -4 on it incoming attack and if it misses the opponent provokes an attack of opportunity. If your own attack misses you provoke an attack of opportunity, you do not threaten any creatures, and take a -4 penalty to AC until the beginning of your next turn.

Impaling Strike: Once per round while dealing piercing damage with the waveblood you may forsake any number of attacks granted by base attack bonus this round (even 0), you gain the benefits of the impale feat for this attack (if you already have the feat you gain a +4 bonus on the incoming grapple check) and deal an additional 1d10 point of piercing damages and 1d6 point of bleedout for each attack you forsook if you succeed on the following grapple attempt.

Rapid Poke: As a swift action you can make a single attack with an additional +5 foot reach. This does not change the squares you threaten. You may only inflict piercing damage with a longstrike.

You can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your dexterity modifier instead of your strength modifier to attack rolls with a waveblade greatsword sized for you, even though it isn’t a light weapon for you. If you have Exotic Weapon Proficiency and Weapon Finesse feats you can choose to add your Dexterity modifier to damage instead of strength.
