Sword-chucks!

[Spatzimaus]

I'm sure everyone on this board is a fan of the 8-Bit Theater webcomic:

So, thanks to a comment that came up on the D&D Rules board, I was wondering: if it WERE possible to make sword-chucks, what would their stats be?

I'm thinking:
Category: Exotic- Melee
Size: Large
Damage: 1d6/1d6
Critical: 18-20/x2
Weight: 10 lbs
Special: A Monk using sword-chucks can strike with her unarmed base attack, including her more favorable number of attacks per round, along with other applicable attack modifiers.
On an attack roll of a natural 1, the wielder of the sword-chuck hits himself.

Any suggestions?

Monk no! Bad Monk! This is a Fighter weapon! Do you want to make Fighter cry? Do you?

This should be a Fighter only weapon!

Otherwise, good.

It should be a martial weapon, but every time the user makes an attack against an enemy, he must also make an attack at the same BAB, with a +5 penalty (or bonus, depending on how you look at it) against himself.

I'd use Double Sword stats.

Large exotic weapon
1d10/1d10 damage
Slashing
Trip/disarm as spiked chain

Whenever sword-chucks are use to attack, they deal minimum damage to their user as well. If a first level fighter with Str 16 made two attacks with the sword-chucks, he would suffer 4+2=6 damage.

But that would make sword-chucks potentially worth using, when, in fact, as everyone knows, they're an absolutely idiotic weapon.

I see you liked my line, too.

Hey, mine deal you serious damage every round -- especially when they're enchanted!

Yes, I liked your line. That's why I ripped it off.
