This ancient, bronze khopesh is inset with several large rubies. It has been specifically designed for the destruction of animated and has been imbued with enchantments to both make it more effective against such monsters and to protect its wielder from them. 

This ancient, bronze khopesh is inset with several large rubies. Its bearer saves against fear effects at +4, and anyone friendly to him within 20 feet makes similar saves at +2. In combat, it is a weapon +1, +2 versus mummies. The girdle made for holding the weapon makes its wearer immune to mummies rotting disease, and allows a bonus of +2 on saves versus other diseases. 

Once per day, the weapon may have its flametongue ability invoked. This will persist for one round per level of the bearer, double this if that person is a priest with demonologist ability. This flame will inflict an additional 1-4 points of damage to targets struck by the weapon, 2-8 points to mummies.
