| colspan="10" align="left" | A Cruciate Mace is made of solid metal (or similar substance) which through the blacksmith's art has been forged in an "X” cross section keeping it light enough (barely) to be wielded in one hand. The business end is liberally equipped with jagged sawteeth which allow the weapon to inflict piercing as well as bludgeoning damage with a slight twist of the wrist. Sadly, the small teeth make it unlikely a Cruciate Mace will do exceptional damage, but it certainly hits hard. Any damage dice rolled with a result of a 1 or 2 may be re-rolled until a result other than 1 or 2 is achieved.  The Cruciate Mace belongs to the "Hammers", weapon group.

| colspan="10" align="left" | The Needlesword is the pinnacle of the swordmakers art, the largest yet lightest blade a master weaponsmith with magical skills and tools can produce. A Needlesword is a needle-slender weapon with a guard made of a tracery of thin wire and the barest wisp of leather padding on the thin handle. A Needlesword does no more damage than a rapier, but in the hands of a skilled wielder (using an Exotic Weapon Proficiency) it can do serious damage on a critical strike. The Needlesword's light weight allows Dexterity to be used for attacks, and can even enhance the effect of feints.  The Needlesword is favored as a weapon by many nobles for whom a rapier is too "common.A Needlesword cannot be wielded in two hands for extra damage, but it can be used with the Weapon Finesse feat. The Needlesword belongs to the "Blades, Light", weapon group.

| colspan="10" align="left" | The Cavalry Whip is a Long Whip designed for mounted use. The Cavalry Whip can perform trip attacks. The Cavalry Whip deals lethal damage and has an enormous 20 foot reach. The Cavalry Whip cannot attack any squares within ten feet of the wielder, nor does it threaten within this range. If any adjacent square is blocked the wielder cannot use the weapon at all, and if any square within ten feet of the wielder is considered blocked you have -4 to hit when the weapon is used.  A Cavalry Whip can be used afoot.

This whip is identical to the Long whip except as above, and the handle is three feet long and the braid is "only” 14 feet long. The longer handle and shorter braid makes the weapon usable while mounted.  The Cavalry Whip belongs to the "Flails", weapon group.
