Scythe Wire

This insidious weapon consists of an impossibly thin titanium filament of exceptional sharpness, held taut between two palm-sized discs of reinforced obsidian-black polymer. Each disc can be driven deep into wood or stone surfaces with surprising ease, or magnetically affixed to metal walls and structures, creating a deadly trap or cutting barrier. The wire itself is nearly invisible when properly positioned, making it a favored tool of mercenaries and Black-ops, those who favor cunning over direct confrontation. When drawn across flesh, the wire cuts with devastating efficiency, capable of severing limbs and vital arteries with minimal resistance. A creature struck by the Scythe Wire must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 3d12 slashing damage; on a failure of 5 or more, the target also loses a limb of the wielder's choosing. The weapon's dual-disc design allows for creative deployment, from creating tripwires across doorways to fashioning portable cutting barriers. Due to its extreme fragility despite its sharpness, the wire requires careful handling and cannot be used in traditional melee combat without risking breakage. Those who master the Scythe Wire understand that its true power lies not in direct confrontation, but in preparation and positioning.

Tazer Whip

This sleek grey metallic whip crackles with barely contained electrical energy that glows faintly when active. Metal prongs jut from the weapon's tip, designed to conduct and amplify the weapon's electrical discharge upon impact. The black leather and plastic handle features two activation buttons—one to channel electrical power through the weapon and another to modulate its intensity. When wielded against a foe, a successful strike inflicts both the normal slashing damage expected of a whip alongside a devastating surge of 2d8 electrical damage that momentarily stuns the target for one round. The weapon requires considerable skill and practice to master, as its unpredictable nature makes it dangerous in untrained hands. The electrical charge can be sustained for brief periods, allowing the wielder to maintain a crackling aura that discourages close approach. This military prototype was created by weapons technicians seeking to combine traditional martial weapons with a stun enhancement. Its dual-button system allows experienced users to adapt their tactics mid-combat, choosing between raw power and controlled strikes.

Dart Gun

This sleek, modified pistol gleams with an ethereal metallic sheen. The weapon was crafted in the secret underground laboratory where the security guards once used them to target intruders or the occasional escaped animal subject. A kevlar bandolier of metallic darts lies coiled nearby, each projectile carefully crafted from a titanium alloy and ready to be filled. When fired, the darts travel with supernatural speed and accuracy. The pistol's mechanism operates through a combination of spring-loaded mechanisms and a small explosive charge requiring no ammunition beyond the darts themselves. Each dart can be filled with one of two nearby vials: a virulent poison that courses through the veins of those struck, or a potent sedative that clouds the mind and weakens the limbs. The weapon demands a keen eye and steady hand, as it responds best to those with dexterity and cunning. Those who wield it gain advantage on attack rolls against unsuspecting foes. However, the loading of the darts takes time that the user may not have.
