Shadowstaff
This exotic piercing weapon is topped with a wickedly curved hook (1d8 damage, crit 19-20/x2), and can be used to both attack and restrain opponents. Once an opponent size medium or smaller has been struck by a shadowstaff, it is caught on the hook and suffers a -2 penalty on all attack rolls and -4 penaly to Dexterity. In addition, the opponent suffers and automatic 1d8 points of damage each round as long as the shadowperson continues to hold on to the shadowstaff, and must make a concentration check (DC 10+damage taken+spell level) to cast a spell. The opponent can take a full-round action to make an Escape artist check opposed by the shadowperson's Strength to free himself. The wielder of a shadowstaff can also use the hook to make trip attacks. If the wielder is tripped during his own trip attempt, he can drop the shadowstaff to avoid being tripped. The wielder of a shadowstaff gets a +2 bonus on his opposed attack roll when attempting to disarm an enemy (including the opposed attack roll to avoid being disarmed if fails to disarm his enemy).
Ok, let's make this one amazing!
I see a few things worth noting here: size medium seems locked into place, so changing your weapon size or your opponent size are good fodder for hijinx.
We got that atrocious escape artist check as a full round action.
We got a dex penalty that appears to stack with the nets.
And we need a way to count as a shadowperson other than being a shadowperson for the really strict readers.
