Azure Model V Beam Saber Type: Weapon Size: As dagger, shortsword, longsword and bastard sword. Description: Usually made from a powerful combinations of metallic alloys, the Azure V Beam Saber looks like a simple metal shaft about a foot in length and about 2 inches in diameter, with a few buttons about it's make. When activated, a blue blade of light enveloped in an electromagnetic field is formed. With the proper training it is utilized for melee combat. Effect: The Azure Model V is know to be the picture perfect 'Equalizer' when it comes to melee. It is preferred when melee situations are eminent but lethal force is not necessary, as it is one of the few models that have a 'stun 'feature which allows the user to deal nonlethal damage. The blade is like that of a regular sword, depending on it's size, in all ways except the damage it deals is electricity. Because the beam blade has no weight, the weapon counts as a light, one handed, and two handed weapon- whichever is more convenient for the wielder at the time. Because of the advances in electromagnetic technology, if the beam strikes a conductive object only the place which is struck takes the full measure of it's damage. This means that it cannot send shocks through water or metal. Because of this the weapon cannot operate underwater, and will not function while submerged in water. Weight: 1-3 lbs, depending on the size Cost: 600 gp

Crimson Model VII Beam Saber Type: Weapon Size: As dagger, shortsword, longsword and bastard sword. Description: Usually made from a powerful combinations of metallic alloys, the Crimson Model VII Beam Saber looks like a simple metal shaft about a foot in length and about 2 inches in diameter, with a few buttons about it's make. When activated, a superheated red blade of light is formed. With the proper training it is utilized for melee combat. Effect: As the Azure Model, except the following: It burns through objects with it's laser-blade, dealing full damage to normal stone and normal types of metal. It also cannot function when submerged in water. It lacks the stun feature, making it a more definite killing tool. If the blade touches flammable material for a full round it ignites it, setting it a'blaze. Weight: 1-3 lbs, depending on the size Cost: 650 gp

Cryo Blade Type: Weapon Size: As dagger. Description: Cryo Blades are small metal blades with grooves that lead to the the hilt through their guard. Whenever the weapon reaches the peak of it's strike, a combination of Liquid Nitrogen and a stabilizing agent fuse and diffuse throughout the blade, making it so cold it 'burns' to the touch. Effect: As the description displays; this dagger like blade deals part slashing and part cold damage. If ever enveloped in water when activated, it freezes in place, needing a DC 15 Strength Check to pull out of the ice that forms around it. Either way, the Nitro-Cartridge in the hilt has to be replaced in this instance, costing 1/25 of the weapon's price in gold. Weight: 1 lbs Cost: 600 gp

Fusion Edge II Type: Weapon Size: As dagger, shortsword, longsword and bastard sword Description: Similar to beam sabers, the Fusion edge is a hilt with a built in, fail-safe coded perpetual energy source. When ignited, it creates a near-solid blade of pure force, color pending on the choice of the manufacturer. Effect: The name may seem a bit misleading, but the Fusion edge is actually a blade that takes gravity and energy a step further. By folding a small about of space into a high powered gravity field, the Fusion edge creates a blade that strikes hard with kinetic energy at a narrow point able to cut things at the atomic level. This means the blade deals pure force damage, bypassing all but the most rare types of Damage Reduction. It operates underwater as well, and handles like a beam saber. Weight: 1-3 lbs Cost: 10,000 gp

Vibro-Edge Type: Weapon Size: As dagger, shortsword, longsword and bastard sword Description: Vibro-Blades are a fairly common melee weapon, made up of strong metal fused with the best vibration-gathering material that the known universe has to offer. The material makes the metal of the blade lime green, but can be dyed to any color. Effect: The blade of this weapon, when activated, vibrates as well as gathers the nearby vibrations in the air to create a state of constant flushing motion. This state increases the cutting power of the blade by allowing it to 'shake up' the molecules as it cuts through. Vibro-blades are one of the few material weapons that can clash with Beam Sabers without taking substantial damage, as the energy created by the frequency of it's vibrating create a kinetic barrier, so the metal will be left unharmed. Thus, it deals half slashing damage, half sonic damage. Weight: 2-4 lbs Cost: 600 gp
