[QUOTE="nikolai, post: 1365257, member: 10130"] Three exotic [b]daggers[/b], as requested. I've tried to make them useful additions to the rules a character might select, rather than just exotica. This is the furthest outside the core rules I've yet gone, so I'd appreciate any comments regarding their balance in play.

Piercing or Slashing Dagger, Swordbreaker 15 gp 1d3 1d4 x2/19-20 2 lb. Piercing Misericorde 10 gp 1d3 1d4 x4 1 lb. Piercing or Slashing [/COLOR] [/CODE] [b]Dagger, Parrying:[/b] This dagger possesses a elaborate handguard, designed to catch and deflect an opponent's weapon. With a parrying dagger, you get a +4 bonus on opposed attack rolls made to disarm an enemy (including the roll to avoid being disarmed if such an attempt fails). [b]Dagger, Swordbreaker:[/b] This is a dagger with rigid teeth cut deeply into the blade. It can be used to make sunder attacks on bladed weapons (as opposed to hafted weapons), despite it not dealing slashing or bludgeoning damage. This is done by catching the opponent's blade between the swordbreaker's teeth and twisting in an attempt to break it. Sunder attempts made in this manner ignore the first 10 points of the opposing weapon's hardness. Those proficient with the swordbreaker as an exotic weapon may attempt to sunder an opponent's weapon with it, without provoking an attack of opportunity. [b]Misericorde:[/b] Known as the "knightly dagger", the misericorde is a blade used to deliver the death stroke to those whose wounds are beyond aid. Those proficient with the misericorde as an exotic weapon may use it to deliver a [i]coup de grace[/i] to a helpless defender as a standard action, without provoking an attack of opportunity from threatening opponents.
