You could see about training it to be a Warbeast(MM2, pg. 219). That'll give it a little extra "Ooomph". :)

Spot and Listen are class skills for all player classes IMC. My reasoning is that adventurers that aren't good at seeing/hearing what's about to kill them don't tend to stay adventurers for very long. That being said, I also give bonuses based on character level to both spot and listen...

I give 8 at first level. 4 must be spent on craft skill(s) and the other 4 on Profession(s) of the players choice, with no cross-class penalties. After first level, they're on their own if they want to add more to any of those choices. I also do, on occasion give skill bonuses(but not...

Heh. It's a whole new use for a Bag of Rats. :)

I'd just be afraid of having a weapon like that when there're spells like Greater Magic Weapon around. Might be something to consider. :)
