LongSword
BSchwartz@MediaOne.com
This long sword of black adamantine alloy was made by Aractos, a very high-powered drow Fighter/Mage/Cleric who was a follower of Lloth. He had many a spider servants and made this sword to help  better keep his spidery servants "In Hand". It was unfortunate that he  died by a female drow assassin, possibly  because he was getting too powerful for the female drow clerics taste, however his sword lives on.
 
The sword is fashioned of black adamantine alloy and thus exceptionally resistance to harm (extra +2 on saves above in additional to anything else). Is has on either side of the hilt a  black spider whose mouth is pointed towards the blade. The mouth emits a web down both sides of the entire length of the blade to the tip. The spiders are made of pure obsidian and the web is of pure silver.
 
Long sword +1, +2 vs. spiders (including driders and the like)
INT: 12
Ego: 13
Alignment: none
Communication: none
 
 ABILITIES:
When held in hand grants the owner a +1 to all Poison saving throws. · The sword must however drain a victim's bodily fluids (just like a spider feeds) to refuel itself or "feed" if you  will. To do this the owner must impale a victim with the sword whereas the  sword starts draining throughout the blade and into the spider (this in not seen unless Detect Magic spell  is employed). The whole process takes 1d6+2 Rounds where the victim may try to fight for freedom in the usual manner. The sword must feed at  least once a week or it will lose all powers, becoming just a +1 weapon until it feeds. Each day after it feeds its  ego increases by +1 until it feeds! If the sword takes control of the owner it will feed and not care where it gets  it from.
 
Minor powers:
It gives the owner the ability to Spider Climb (movement 7) at will
It can also employ a Web spell at 13 th level once per week for its owner.
