First recorded as the favored weapons of a sect of spiritual warriors, these blades allow their wielders to shave away some of their own life force and channel it into deadly, armor-penetrating strikes. The fact that this effect can also be used to siphon life from a target led to their banning in many societies, and the hunting of their creators. 

Warhound Sword

Rare (1,800 GP) ​| Reach: 5ft. | Damage: (base) | Slashing | One Hand
​
Intrinsic Properties

• Base Item: Any Medium Blade.
  (Some blades require Medium Weapons Training).
• Critical Effect: (same as base blade).
  ​

Magic Properties

• Pack Hunting. When a Warhound weapon deals damage to a target, subsequent attacks from any Warhound weapons gain a +1 bonus to hit, and deal an additional +1 Piercing Damage against the same target. This effect lasts for 1 Round, or until the Warhound Blade strikes a different target. 
  
  

Usually created as sets, Warhound Swords are often given to elite squads of royal guards, or groups of knights errant expected to challenge mighty foes as a coordinated unit.

Item Rarity Guide (Reference)

• 0-100GP | Mundane. Commonly available items, suitable for all levels. 
• 100-500GP | Unusual.  Niche, accessible with some searching or contacts. Character levels 3-5.
• 500-2,500GP | Rare. Treasured objects inaccessible to most. Rare items often have a storied history. Character levels 6-9. 
• 2,500-50,000 | Very Rare. The coveted prizes of organizations and kingdoms, arms and armor of celebrated heroes, fabled artifacts lost to time. Very Rare items, or at the least their makers or wielders, are likely known to scholars and storytellers both. Character levels 10+
• 50,000-500,000GP | Legendary. Literal objects of legend, only a handful of which exist in a given culture's stories. Apex masterpieces of history's greatest artificers or enchanters. Whether they are real or not may be debated. Recovering one would be a quest for many, and succeeding would attract the attention of more. Character levels 13+
• 500,000-10,000,000GP | Mythic. Forged as boons and workings of primordial powers, or confluxes of universal events. Armor forged by smith-gods, blades woven from screams by arch-devels, a humble arrowhead that pierced the heart of a dragon queen and now burns eternally with lightless fire--each Mythic item is unique and (nearly) priceless.
