Greater Shockwave (3.5e Equipment)

With a single swing, Eiji cleaved down the entire forest!

Summary::A greater shockwave weapon acts like a shockwave weapon, but to a wide area of effect. A pulse of energy is released on a horizontal plane, cutting all in its path. As with a shockwave weapon, attackers can make attacks to creatures within 30 feet away as if they were in melee range. Their actual threatened area does not increase. As an attack action they can instead made a wide sweeping motion, producing a 30 foot cone area of effect which deals three times your normal weapon damage to all in the area (including strength and other bonuses), with a DC 10 + 1/2 BAB + strength (or dexterity if using Weapon Finesse) Reflex save for half. Because it is not an attack roll, feats such as Power Attack cannot work with the area effect form. Alternatively you can produce a line effect with twice the length (60 feet).

This is a +5 effect on its own, but only a +3 if the weapon is already a shockwave weapon. Greater shockwave counts as shockwave for the purpose of determining the distance one can attack with either normal attacks or area effects. For example, a shockwave + greater shockwave longsword can attack at 30 feet away, has a 60 foot cone, and a 120 foot line effect.
