Assassin Whip: This +1 whip appears to be a living vine of some sort, with
leaves shaped like human hands and small clusters of fruit that
resemble wild grapes. Gnarled and covered with brown, stingy bark,
the assassin whip can be used as a normal whip, but twice a day can
be used to make a ranged touch attack against a single Medium or
smaller target, causing weeds, grasses, bushes, and even trees to
wrap, twist, and entwine about it, holding it fast. If no vegetation
is present, the assassin whip causes vines to spring up from the
ground. The entangling plants constrict their target, causing 1d6+7
damage with a successful grapple check (the plants' grapple check is
with a +8 modifier).
Due to the vegetation, the creature suffers all effects of being
entangled.
Note: The DM may alter the effects of the whip, depending on the
environment.

Axe of Shards: This +3 dwarven waraxe has a clear, crystalline blade. Three crystal spikes protrude from the back of the axe head. Although the main blade is as hard as normal steel, all of the three crystal spikes can be removed by the weapon's wielder. Each sharp, balanced spike is treated as a masterwork throwing dagger. The spikes only last for one day after being removed from the axe head, and they cannot be reattached. It takes three days for a spike to regrow enough to be removed and used as a throwing dagger.
Moderate conjuration; CL 9th; Craft Magic Arms & Armor, fabricate; 19,330 gp
Axe of Storms: This powerful +4 orc double axe has two intricately carved heads joined by a shaft of blue-tinted wood. Each head bears an ability that that gives the weapon part of its name. One head is thundering, and the other head has the shock quality. Furthermore, at the beginning of each round, the wielder may allocate the +4 enhancement bonus between each head (minimum +0). This allocation lasts until the beginning of the wielder's next round.

Balor's Sword of Flame: The traditional weapon of a balor demon is a +1 vorpal bastard sword sized for a Large creature. This sword can detect good out to a range of 30 feet. These weapons are often mistaken for flaming weapons, because they look like tongues of flame.
Strong necromancy; CL 12th; Craft Magic Arms & Armor, power word kill, detect good, keen edge; 115,870 gp
Balor's Sword of Lightning: A variation on the traditional balor's blade is this +1 brilliant energy shock bastard sword sized for a Large wielder. This weapon can detect law (caster level 12) out to a range of 30 feet. These weapons resemble bolts of lightning.
Because the market price is the same as for the balor's sword of flame, it can be substituted for that weapon with no adjustment to the balor's treasure.
Strong evocation; CL 16th; Craft Magic Arms & Armor, continual flame, detect law, gaseous form, and call lightning or lightning bolt; 115,870 gp
Balor's Sword of Smiting: This +5 unholy bastard sword sized for a Large wielder allows its wielder to smite good once per day. The wielder adds his Charisma modifier to the attack roll and deals +10 damage, in additional to the +2d6 of unholy damage the weapon normally deals. This special smite attack is in addition to any smite attacks the wielder may possess, but the wielder cannot use multiple smite attacks from different sources on the same attack. This weapon looks like a bolt of red lightning.
Because the market price of this item is close to that of the balor's sword of flame, it can be substituted for that weapon with no adjustment to the balor's treasure.
Strong evocation; CL 15th; Craft Magic Arms & Armor, unholy blight, creator must be evil and have a smite ability; 118,670 gp
Balor's Sword of Soul Stealing: The most fearsome weapon carried by the balors, this +3 vorpal bastard sword sized for a Large wielder appears as a crackling black-and-blue purple flame. A precious black sapphire is set in the weapon's pommel. When it severs the head of a living creature, the sword draws forth the soul of the victim and imprisons it within the black sapphire as the soul bind spell. The victim receives a DC 23 Will save to avoid the soul bind effect. If the weapon severs the head of a creature with more than 30 Hit Dice, the sapphire shatters without imprisoning the soul, and it must be replaced. The sapphire can contain only one soul at a time, but balors are rumored to know mystic rituals that can draw the soul out of the gem, allowing them to use it for various vile purposes.
Because the market price of this item is signifcantly more expensive than the balor's standad armament, a balor armed with a balor's sword of soul stealing typically only has its whip as any other possible treasure.

Electric Lash: The blue-tinged leather of this +2 shock whip seems to spark with small motes of electric energy. Three times per day, the wielder of the electric lash may make an arcing strike. This attack deals an additional +2d6 electricity damage (3d6 total) to the target if the attack is successful. Furthermore, the electric jolt arcs to any one creature within 5 feet of the target.

Arcing strike damage is not multipled by critical hits.

This attack deals 1d6 fire damage to creatures within the area of effect (Reflex half DC 13) and can cause flammable materials to ignite. Trip attempts made with an everburning chain may ignite the target's clothing if it is flammable.

If this check succeeds, the wielder may ignore any miss chance created by concealment, including effects such as blur and invisibility, but not from incorporeality or the blink spell. Although the kama of pure aim negates the miss chance for striking an invisible target, the wielder must still choose the correct space to hit them.
Strong divination; CL 15th; Craft Magic Arms & Armor, true seeing, creator must have a Wisdom score of 20 or more; 32,302 gp
Khopesh of the Loyal Minion: This +1 khopesh is a favored weapon of minions of Set.

Strong necromancy; CL 12th; Craft Magic Arms & Armor, animate rope and desiccate, wither, or horrid wilting; 56,400 gp
Lash of Torment: Embedded with cruel spikes or iron and glass, effectively making it a whip-dagger. Usually found in the hands of drow slavers or torturers. In the hands of a nondrow, the lash of torment acts merely as a +1 whip-dagger. In addition, every time a nondrow wielder misses when attacking with the lash, it bends around and strikes the wielder. This curse was placed on the weapon to prevent slaves from taking it up against their master. Some drow slavers leave the lash of torment in a place where a slave might find it, watching with delight as the slave suffers the consequences of a missed strike.
In the hands of a drow user, the lash of torment functions as a +3 wounding whip-dagger. On a critical hit, the lash of torment causes tremendous pain, resulting in a -2 penalty to Dexterity and a -4 penalty on all attack rolls, saves, and checks. A Fort save (DC 18) negates this effect. These penalties last 1d10 minutes and any further attacks from the lash of torment against that person during this time have no additional effect on the victim beyond the normal damage delivered.

Lavalash: A lavalash is a +1 flaming burst whip that seems to be made of a thin strand of molten lava. The handle of the whip is made of obsidian and remains cool to the touch. Although the lavalash's base damage deals nonlethal damage as a normal +1 whip, the additional fire damage can hurt creatures normally.
Three times per day you can cause the strand of lava to detach from the handle as you attack with it. This allows you to make a single ranged touch attack against any target within 60 feet. If you hit, the strand of lava wraps around the target and inflicts standard damage. Additionally, the whip can immediately make a free grapple check to wrap around the target; the whip attacks as though you were making the grapple check against the target. If the whip gets a hold, it holds the target immobile and inflicts 2d6 fire damage each round it maintains the hold. The strand of lava fades away into nothingness if it ever fails a grapple check, or after 6 rounds pass.
