Octavirate Expansions, Volume 2: Unusual Magic Weapons by Octavirate Entertainment is a product of unusual magic weapons (as one would expect) for D20 system games (primarily D&D). It is 9-pages long (7 after cover and OGL) with a clean layout and a mixture of clip and custom artwork.
This product provides statistics and history for sixteen new and interesting (if occasionally bizarre) magic weapons (two of which are minor artifacts) and one non-magical weapon.
The non-magical weapon is the gnomish ?dissembler blade? which can be reconfigured into different sword types as needed. The magic weapon range from the unique with fascinating histories and minor powers (Boardsword -no that is not a typo- of the Child Crusader, Learner?s Staff), to the mass produced with useful powers (Crossbow of Finding, Sai of Climbing). A type of arrow (Trollgrinder Arrows) designed specifically to deal with regenerating creatures is the only expendable ammunition-based item in the set. Fortunately there are only a few very powerful weapons in the product, two of those being minor artifacts (Chaoswave, a glaive, and the Krytonbone Chain).
A few of the weapons seem to have errors in their pricing (the Papersword being one) and the price per 50 notation for ammunition is carried over unto the weapon following the Trollgrinder Arrows. But that is easy enough to deal with, but it is something that should not have slipped through.
If you are in need for some interesting weapons for inclusion in your campaign, this is a good source for ideas even if you do not use the weapons exactly as presented.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
