"Serpent's Embrace" custom magic item


Homebrew and House Rules


The Serpent's Embrace is an intelligent magic whip, crafted in the visage of a snake, its curiously short handle (barely the width of a hand) is shaped like the head of a viper, its eyes represented by a pair of black gems. Its length is decorated with scale patterns, intermittently dotted with dark metal "scales" that flail outwards when the whip is whirled or lashed out. When wielded, the whip is unexpectedly lively, seeming to move in anticipation of the wielder's intentions.

The Serpent's Embrace is a unique Scorpion Whip, with the following additional effects:
It has a +1 Enhancement Bonus, which increases by one at level five, and every five levels after that (max +5 at level 20)
Each time the Serpent's Embrace is used to attack, the wielder may choose to sacrifice up to one hit point per character level, to deal an extra 1d6 lethal slashing damage to the target per hit point sacrificed.

Please critique.

How much would this weapon be worth?


162,000

+5 for the potential +5 enhancement and +4 for the potential +20d6 dmg. +9 total = 162,000 gp
