thanx everyone

well, the first thing i should say is that naming a weapon reflects more upon the wielder than the weapon.
i would definitely need more information about the character to give an adequate name.

that said, first-to-mind nearly generic names might be:
bonecrusher
draakbane
mart'zomb

whee... and then have fun.
Ouranos Harpy

if it helps Rav HATES undead and harpies

:weep:

Lol, well you can't impress them all now can you? Since he doens't like Harpies maybe something like;

- Windbane
- Songcrusher
- Screaming Harpy
- Wail of the dead Harpy

try these:

Thawlaer, which means. Corrupter of songs
Fegitern, which means Bringer of faith

or if you prefer english.

Song Corrupter
ShadowBreaker
PhantomHammer

Farewell


note: the last one was not an option

If your char was a barbarian you could call your weapon He-that-smash-the-nasty-ones.

Here are some of my own, since we are nearing the end of the campaign, I decided to give all my players a realy powerful weapon with a lot of fun ablilities and an apropriate name :

archer : The Gih-string : a string that can replace a string from any bow that now counts as composite with the wielders STR-mod, deals energy damage, needs no arrows and has some nasty enhancements. Plus it gives bonusses on perform (string instruments) and forces the wielder to wear no underwear except strings.

barbarian : Thunderstruck : an inteligent shocking thundering greataxe with lots of damage extras, deafens target on critical, can cast some helpful spells, ... when in combat it starts to sing with a high pitched voice (a la ac/dc) I think other extra's were bonuses on some skills (can't remember)

wizard/barbarian : The black velvet robe (inspired by the song 'Black Velvet Band') : gives a lot of bonuses on ac, saves, miss chance, constricts targets with melee attacks ... When in a room with ten or more people the sound of local drinking songs can be heard, gives bonuses on knowledge en perform (local drinking songs)

cleric : Stih-Raik : warhammer with somes enhancements + some free metamagic, on a hit or critical : you can hear 'Stih-raik' or 'allright' or 'got 'em' or something + gives bonuses on all skill checks with balls of more than 2lb or something

druid : Nettletooth : skimitar with I don't know what enhencements, deals poison damage, gives bonuses on nat. armor, bonuses also appy when shapechanging


All the equiment had a lot more specials, but I can't remember them all right now.
