[[Summary::Turn your sword into a chainsword!  Also works on piercing weapons as Powerdrill. | ]]

A chainsaw is a dangerous tool, but it is no weapon.  At least not to those who aren't insane.  For those that are, there's powersaws (and its piercing version, powerdrills).  Applied to any one-handed or two-handed piercing or slashing weapon, it makes the business end of the weapon a rapidly rotating array of blades or a high speed augur so that you may grind and bore while you chop and stab.  They are mundane tools and require a source of energy to operate, but magical versions can draw power from the very magic they are enhanced with.

===Requirements===

The creator must have at least 8 ranks in the appropriate craft skill and at least 8 ranks in Knowledge (engineering).

== Powersaw Weapons ==

'''Cost:''' 750 gp

When not powered, powersaw weapons deal damage 1 size category smaller than normal as they are not really designed to be used like this.  Toggling a powersaw weapon is a move action, or a free action if you have [[SRD:Quick Draw|Quick Draw]] or [[SRD:Rapid Reload|Rapid Reload]].  When active it deals its normal damage but the noise it makes gives a -10 penalty to any Move Silently checks.  It is not a subtle weapon.  It consumes [[F.U.E.L. (3.5e Equipment)|F.U.E.L.]] at a rate of 1 ounce per minute (minimum 1 minute consumed) and most Small and Medium powersaw weapons can hold 10 ounces.  Larger or smaller weapons double or halve the amount of fuel it can store, minimum 1 ounce.  Refilling the fuel tank is a 1 round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.  Magical powersaws do not need fuel.

Multiple attacks with a powersaw in a single round count as a single attack for the purpose of breaching damage reduction and hardness.  It also gives a +2 bonus to [[SRD:Sunder|sunder]] checks.  Effects that dismember such as [[SRD:Vorpal|vorpal]], effects which cause bleeding, and the Grinding<sup>BoVD</sup> enhancement have a 10% on its price.
