Earthbound

Aura: Moderate Conjuration; CL: 3rd

Price: +1 bonus

Special Notes / Rules: Elemental Binding (earth, 1-3 HD, usually a Small Earth Elemental)

Source: ECB, pg. 266

Description:

A Earthbound weapon has a Khyber dragonshard in the hilt, keeping an earth elemental bound. The weapon itself looks to be comprised of heavy metals and crystals, regardless of its actual composition. As long as the wielder and his opponent are in contact with ground, the wielder gains a +2 circumstance bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, CMB checks made with the weapon. These bonuses do not apply if either the wielder or his opponent is flying, in the water or standing on something that is not directly affixed to the ground via rock or stone. A tall stone bridge or the third floor of a castle would count, but a simple wooden bridge or the deck of a ship would not.

Construction Requirements: Craft Arms and Armor, Bind Elemental, Lead Blades

Construction Costs: As per Elemental Binding, with a Khyber dragonshard worth at least 100 gp
