Weapon Special Abilities List

[carpedavid]

While the list in the DMG of the magic weapon special abilities is a good start, I'm beginning to get tired of giving all of my players and NPCs flaming, shocking, icy burst, throwing, returning, holy longswords. So I'm trying to compile a list of weapon special abilites, and I think I've exhausted all of the resources that I currently possess.

I've attached a spreadsheet containing a list of all of those abilities, which includes the special ability name, base price modifier, source, source publisher, and whether the ability seems to fall under the OGL (though I'm not sure I'm exactly right on all of those).

I'm looking to expand the list, so if anyone has access to sources that I don't, I'd be extremely grateful if they could point me in the right direction. I'm not really looking for the descriptions of the abilities themselves, as I'm not looking to violate anyone's copyrights, but I would like to create as complete a list of pointers to source materials as possible.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

Magic of Faerun has a fairly large list of new weapon special abilities. Some of them were made obsolete by 3.5e, but most of them are still viable.

The D&D Rule Tracker (below) has many weapon and armor special abilities.

Thanks all for the pointers thus far. I've updated the list, which now includes all of the weapon abilities from the following sources:

• SRD - Magic Items
• SRD - Psionic Items
• Book of Eldritch Might 2
• Book of Eldritch Might 3
• Requiem for a God
• When the Sky Falls
• Fang & Fury
• Miniatures Handbook
• Oriental Adventures
• Magic of Faerun

I just paged through the new Underdark book today, and saw more in there, though I have not had a chance to look through the Arms and Equipment Guide yet.

If anyone else can point me to more, please let me know! Thanks!
