I'm looking at the meteor hammer in the Adventurer's Armory and in the table section it doesn't mention anything in the properties area despite the entry itself indicating it has a 10-foot chain and specifically mentioning trip capabilities. But the table in the back doesn't list anything.
What properties should be listed in the back? Specifically does the weapon have reach and trip?
Secondly are there any other weapons missing properties (e.g. bladed scarf many have presumed lost it's reach powers, but there is no entry; all it says is to go look at another book which mentions its reach capabilities). Though I may be wrong since my search wasn't exhaustive.
in legacay of fire players guide (3.5) the weapon had both reach and trip, but in Adventure's Armory (Pathfinder) the weapon was powered down, presumably to bring it in line with weapons like the spiked chain which also lost its reach abilities in the new addition.
My Archives should have the most recent properties, as taken from the Adventurer's Armory and updated via errata by Sean K Reynolds in the thread for said book.
Do you have a source for the errata? I would love to see it.
Of course!
That thread is pretty much where I got every bit of errata from the awesome Sean himself.
Any word as to if the separate ends of the meteor hammer have to be enchanted separately? And if they are enchanted separately, can you pick which one is active in fortress mode?

Yes and Yes. The first one is a Yes because that's how double weapons work, and the Meteor Hammer is a double weapon. The second one is Yes just because you can always choose which end to attack with (of a double weapon) if you're only attacking with one end.
wow so even after the errata the meteor hammer is a 1d10/1d10 19-20/x2 reach weapon ? that's way better than TWF with bastard swords.
Nope - if you use it as a double weapon OR a reach weapon as it says in the description.

1d8/1d8? okay, whew thats better.
and SKR says its reach in both forms. at least its not inclusive reach like 3.5, which does help mitigate somewhat. it is kinda nice then i guess, having a weapon you can twf with that has reach. still its kind of weird that its off-hand counts as light.... but i can live with that change =)
