Alchemist's Bullet ( 330 )
Aura faint transmutation ; CL 3rd
DESCRIPTION
This +1 sling bullet contains a magical reservoir that can store a single vial of any alchemical substance capable of being used as a splash weapon. If the alchemist bullet hits, the splash weapon also strikes the target and causes splash damage as normal. If the alchemist's bullet misses but is not destroyed, the alchemical substance remains stored within, and the bullet does not explode and can be reused. If it misses and is destroyed, the bullet is destroyed as well without effect.

Burrowing Bullet ( Varies )
Aura moderate necromancy ; CL 3rd
DESCRIPTION
"Burrowing Bullets come in two form: Lesser Burrowing Bullets, which cost 1,722 gold, and Greater Burrowing Bullets, which cost 3,447 gold. This +1 firearm bullet deals normal damage, but when it hits a living creature, it burrows into the creature's flesh, causing wracking pain until removed or until the bullet burrows its way out of the creature. While these bullets burrow, the creature is staggered. This effect lasts for 1d3 rounds or until the bullet is removed with a DC 15 Heal check made as a standard action. Greater burrowing bullets take longer to pass though the bodies of living creatures (the staggered effect lasts 1d3+2 rounds) and are harder to remove (DC 20 Heal check as a standard action)."

Dwarven thrower ( 50,170 )
Aura moderate evocation ; CL 10th
DESCRIPTION
This weapon functions as a +2 warhammer in the hands of most users. Yet in the hands of a dwarf, the warhammer gains an additional +1 enhancement bonus (for a total enhancement bonus of +3) and gains the returning special ability. It can be hurled with a 30-foot range increment. When hurled, a dwarven thrower deals an extra 2d8 points of damage against creatures of the giant subtype or an extra 1d8 points of damage against any other target.

Heartswood Spear ( 50,302 )
Aura strong conjuration ; CL 14th
DESCRIPTION
This humble weapon appears to be little more than a crudely sharpened stake or makeshift spear, but in truth it is a far more formidable weapon. In addition to being a +2 undead bane spear, a heartswood spear deals bludgeoning damage when it is swung as a staff. When employed in such a manner, it also possesses the disruption property.

DESCRIPTION
"The hushing arrow comes in two forms, the Hushing arrow, which is 547 gp, and the Greater hushing arrow which is 1,047 gp.
This +1 arrow makes no sound on release or as it flies through the air. A creature struck by a hushing arrow must succeed at a DC 13 Will save or be affected by silence (as the spell) for 5 rounds. The silence effect is not triggered by arrows that miss or those that strike an inanimate object.
A greater hushing arrow functions just like a normal hushing arrow, except the target must succeed at a DC 16 Will save to avoid being silenced. Hushing bolts and greater hushing bolts can also be made; they share the same statistics as hushing arrows and greater hushing arrows, except they weigh 1/10 of a pound per bolt."CONSTRUCTION

Oathbow ( 25,600 )
Aura strong evocation ; CL 15th
DESCRIPTION
"Of elven make, this white +2 composite longbow (+2 Str bonus) whispers, “Swift defeat to my enemies” in Elven when nocked and pulled. Once per day, if the archer swears aloud to slay her target (a free action), the bow's whisper becomes the shout “Death to those who have wronged me!” Against such a sworn enemy, the bow has a +5 enhancement bonus, and arrows launched from it deal an additional 2d6 points of damage (and ×4 on a critical hit instead of the normal ×3). After an enemy has been sworn, the bow is treated as only a masterwork weapon against all foes other than the sworn enemy, and the archer takes a –1 penalty on attack rolls with any weapon other than the oathbow. These bonuses and penalties last for 7 days or until the sworn enemy is slain or destroyed by the wielder of the oathbow, whichever comes first. The oathbow may only have one sworn enemy at a time. Once the wielder swears to slay a target, he cannot make a new oath until he has slain that target or 7 days have passed. Even if the wielder slays the sworn enemy on the same day that he makes the oath, he cannot activate the oathbow's special power again until 24 hours have passed from the time he made the oath. "

Ricochet Hammer ( 20,301 )
Aura moderate transmutation ; CL 7th
DESCRIPTION
This +1 returning light hammer can strike multiple foes with a single throw. If the wielder has multiple attacks from a high base attack bonus, he may throw the hammer so it rebounds off the first target to strike at a second target, and so on for each of the wielder's additional attacks. The distance to each target adds to the total range of the weapon, and range penalties apply. For example, a 6th-level dwarf fighter can throw the hammer using his +6 BAB at a target 20 feet away (within one range increment, no range penalty); if it hits, he ricochets it to a attack using his +1 BAB at a second target 40 feet away from the first target (within three range increments for a –4 range penalty). The hammer can only ricochet if it successfully hits a target; if it misses, it stops ricocheting and has no further attacks that round, and returns as normal for a weapon with the returning property. Because ricocheting attacks are treated as separate attacks, modifiers that only apply to one attack roll (such as true strike) only apply to the first attack and not the others. The ricochet attacks count as the wielder's additional attacks for that round.

Slaying Arrow ( Varies )
Aura strong necromancy ; CL 13th
DESCRIPTION
"This +1 arrow is keyed to a particular type or subtype of creature. If it strikes such a creature, the target must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save or take 50 points of damage. Note that even creatures normally exempt from Fortitude saves (undead and constructs) are subject to this attack. When keyed to a living creature, this is a death effect (and thus death ward protects a target).
