This is to help prevent broken weapens when you make homebrew ones.
Ill post the break down of my Fang in just a little bit.
This does not help with geting the cost for the weapen.
Fang, Exotic weapon, Size small, cost 70gp, Damage 2d4, Critical x2, Weight 4 lb., Type Slashing and piercing.
Fang: This odd shaped double blade is made to strike two points on the same target, which makes it very powerful and very hard to use.
I need to update that so ill do it here with how I made the weapon down of how I got there.
