Oracle with a finesse weapon


Advice


Greetings everyone. I would like ask for some opinions on a weapon. I am going to play an oracle with the clouded vision curse in a game where the GM is allowing some material from the WotC splat books. I would like to use a weapon in which I can take weapon finesse that has reach and is considered a bladed weapon. I found one from the eberon books called a drow scorpion chain which is pretty good, D6 damage, 10 ft reach (also usable on adjacent enemies) and can trip and disarm as a whip. From the eberon books I also found a spinning sword, similar to a short sword, but has 10 ft reach. I have also found a Lynx Paw, but about two or three variations. Any suggestions on other exotic or non-exotic bladed weapons that have reach? Just in case, it has to count as a bladed weapon for it to work, so just a whip or spiked chain won´t do it.

Thanks for your thoughts.


Scorpion whip has reach, deals lethal damage, and can be used in a whip build, bit isn't a bladed weapon. Why bladed weapon?

The way the Scorpion chain is described, it would be considered a bladed weapon because it states it has a daggerlike at each end.

Chain, Drow Scorpion: A drow scorpion chain resembles a regular spiked chain in many respects, but it is slightly longer than a normal spiked chain and features a daggerlike blade at each end.

As to the reason for bladed weapons, the GM is allowing a homebrew class similar to the Magus, Sword Mage, DuskBlade, etc. The class is a Sword Sorcerer and for the class to enact its spells, they need to be focus thru their prepared blades. In other words, no prepared blade, no means to cast the spell. With a reach weapon, I can cast my touch spells thru my weapon (bladed) and touch attack someone 10 ft away if need be.
