Whip Sword

Aura moderate transmutation and conjuration; CL 9th; Weight 2 lbs.; Price 10,320 gp

DESCRIPTION

“This +1 Mithral Longsword is a weapon at first glance indistinguishable from a very fancy sword with backwards facing serrations. In reality, a Whip Sword can extend into a bladed whip, allowing it to grab onto enemy limbs or weapons, or to attack at reach.

When used to attack, a Whip Sword can be used to attack any target within double the wielder’s natural reach as if it were both a normal and reach weapon. Unlike a normal longsword, a Whip Sword can deal either slashing or piercing damage. If you are proficient with the whip, then the Whip Sword also possesses the disarm and trip weapon qualities.

A Whip Sword counts as both a Longsword and a Scorpion Whip for proficiency, feats, and other effects. Only the highest of bonuses which can apply to either weapon, such as the Fighter’s Weapon Training bonus or Weapon Focus, actually benefits the Whip Sword. A Whip Sword can be used with Weapon Finesse despite being a one-handed weapon."
