A '''winged weapon''' is an animated, semi-intelligent weapon given the power of flight. ==Creating a Winged Weapon== {{d20r}} {{GitP|101679}} '''Winged weapon''' is an acquired template that can be applied to a magical or non-magical weapon to create a creature. '''Size and Type''' :Winged weapons are of the Construct type and have all traits associated with the Construct type. A light weapon is a creature two size categories smaller than an intended wielder. A one-handed weapon is a creature one size category smaller than an intended wielder. A two-handed weapon is an creature of the same size category as an intended wielder. '''Hit Dice''' :The created creature has one Construct Hit Die, plus two additional Construct Hit Dice for each point of effective enhancement bonus the item possesses. For instance, a ''flaming greatsword +1'' would have five Hit Dice: one base, plus two for the +1 bonus, and two for the ''flaming'' enhancement. :The created creature does not receive bonus HP for a high Constitution score (largely because it does not have one; see the Abilities section below). Instead, it receives bonus hit points based on size, as per the Construct type. Use the following table: {|border=1px !Size !!Bonus HP |- |Fine || — |- |Diminutive || — |- |Tiny || — |- |Small || 10 |- |Medium || 20 |- |Large || 30 |- |Huge || 40 |- |Gargantuan || 60 |- |Colossal || 80 |} '''Speed''' :The created creature has a 30' fly speed, with Average maneuverability. A created creature with the ''dancing'' property instead has Perfect maneuverability. A created creature with the ''speed'' property instead has a 60' fly speed. '''Armor Class''' :The created creature has natural armor bonus equal to its effective enhancement bonus. Created creatures with the ''defending'' property also gain a deflection bonus to their armor class equal to their numeric enhancement bonus. For instance, a ''shocking defending dagger +2'' would have a natural armor bonus of +4 and a deflection armor bonus of +2. '''Attacks''' :The created creature has a single natural attack, or two natural attacks if the base weapon is a double weapon. These attacks are modified by the weapon's properties (such as ''flaming'' or ''keen'') as well as by the enhancement bonuses the base weapon carries. The created creature has a Base Attack Bonus equal to 3/4 it's Hit Dice (as a cleric does). '''Damage''' :The created creature's damage is as the base weapon's damage. This damage is modified by the weapon's properties (such as ''flaming'' or ''keen'') as well as by the enhancement bonuses the base weapon carries. '''Special Attacks''' :The created creature retains all special properties of the base weapon and may apply them to all their attacks. A created creature with the ''speed'' property, for instance, may make an extra attack during a full-attack. '''Special Qualities''' :The created creature gains the following special qualities: :''Construct Traits'' ::The created creature has all abilities associated with the Construct type, including low-light vision, darkvision out to 60', and the typical immunities. :''Deanimating Death'' ::When a winged weapon dies, it leaves behind the base weapon, unaltered but now not animated. A swarm of winged weapons loses this quality. '''Saves''' :The created creature has no good saves (as per the Construct type), but receives a bonus on saving throws equal to the base weapon's numeric enhancement bonus. '''Abilities''' :The created creature uses the following ability scores: 10 + numeric enhancement bonus for Strength, 12 + numeric enhancement bonus for Dexterity, -- for Constitution, 3 + numeric enhancement bonus for Intelligence, 14 + numeric enhancement bonus for Wisdom, 10 + numeric enhancement bonus for Charisma. '''Skills''' :The created creature has (2 + Int) skill points per Hit Die, and quadruple that amount at the first Hit Die. The created creature's class skills are Athletics, Awareness, Disguise, Search, and Stealth. '''Prowess''' :The created creature has 2 points of prowess per Hit Die. '''Feats''' :The created creature has one feat per three Hit Dice, plus one feat for its first Hit Die, just like any other creature. '''Alignment''' :Usually neutral. Created creatures that have alignment properties retain that alignment, so that a ''axiomatic longsword +2'' would be an Always Lawful creature. '''Advancement''' :As construct. '''CR''' :Three-quarters the final creature's Hit Dice. ==Sample Winged Weapon== This example uses a ''shocking defending dagger +3'' as the base weapon. <big>'''Flying Dagger'''</big><br> Tiny Construct<br> '''HP''' 11d10 (60 HP)<br> '''Speed''' Fly 30 ft.

Spellcasting or concentrating on spells within the area of a swarm requires a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level). Using skills that involve patience and concentration requires a DC 20 Concentration check.
