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, even though it is large enough that it is actually a one-handed weapon.
