Looking for weapon enhancements or qualities that heal damage or give hit points to the wielder.

Not looking for class features, looking for gear based options only.

Here's what I've found:


Axe of Ancestral Virtue (MIC p.46): a relic weapon, that can cast Cure Moderate Wounds on the wielder 3/day as a relic power.
Blackrazor (White Plume Mountain Revised p.30): legacy weapon; Soul Drinking - can activate a Death Knell effect as a swift action on a living target reduced to 0 or fewer hp; usable 1/day, 3/day or at will depending on level.
Bloodstone (MIC p.29): +1 equivalent; Spell Storing for Vampiric Touch (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/vampiricTouch.htm) only; empowers the spell.
Bodyfeeder (MIC p.30): +3 equivalent; on a crit, you get temp hp equal to half the damage.
Cudgel That Never Forgets (MIC p.49): a relic weapon, that can activate a Cure Moderate Wounds effect 3/day as a relic power.
Intelligent (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/intelligentItems.htm) magic weapons can have the ability to cast Cure Moderate Wounds on the wielder 3/day, or True Resurrection 1/month as a special purpose power.
Legacy item powers (WoL): Menu A - Cure Light Wounds 3/day, Cure Light Wounds self only as a swift action 1/day, False Life 1/day; Menu B - Cure Moderate Wounds 3/day, Cure Moderate Wounds self only as a swift action 1/day; Menu C - Cure Serious Wounds self only as a swift action 1/day; Menu D - Cure Serious Wounds 3/day; Menu E - Cure Critical Wounds self only as a swift action 1/day; Menu F - Cure Critical Wounds 3/day; Menu G - Heal self 1/day; Menu H - Heal self only as a swift action 1/day, Mass Cure Moderate Wounds 3/day; Menu I - Mass Heal 3/day, Regeneration (heal 1 hp/hour and regrow lost body parts).
Necrotic Focus (MIC p.39): +3 equivalent; channels ability drain or energy drain supernatural attacks - many creatures, especially undead, heal or gain temp hp when they inflict negative levels or ability drain.
Patient Lesson (Gh p.66): +1 merciful quarterstaff; Cure Light Wounds 1/day.
Souldrinking (MIC p.44): +1 equivalent (synergy for Enervating); on a crit, gives 5 temp hp.
Nychyaella’s Healing Spear (PGtF p.121): +2 spear; 3/day on a successful attack, heal hp equal to damage dealt.
Spell Storing (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicWeapons.htm#spellStoring): +1 equivalent; can be used to store spells such as Vampiric Touch (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/vampiricTouch.htm), Bestow Wound etc. etc.
Vampiric (MIC p.45): +2 equivalent; deals an extra 1d6 damage to living creatures, and you get this amount as healing.
Weapon Crystal of Life Drinking Least/Lesser/Greater (MIC p.64): heal 1/3/5 points of damage when you damage a living creature, up to daily limit of 10/30/50 hp per day.
Wrathful Healing (E&A p.20): +3 equivalent; wielder heals half damage dealt to an enemy.

Non-weapon Items

Devoted Spirit Amulet [variant Crown of White Ravens] (ToB p149): Can grant Devoted Spirit manoeuvres for which you qualify, including Crusader's Strike, Martial Spirit etc.
Inquisitor Bracers (MIC p.113): 3/day, deliver a Cure Moderate Wounds effect along with a melee attack.
Vampire Torc (MIC p.144): activated 2/day as a swift action, next successful melee attack you make on your turn heals you for half the damage inflicted.

Spell/Powers for Spell Storing, Wand Chambers etc.

Bestow Wound (HoH p.127)
Vampiric Blade (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/vampiricBlade.htm)
Vampiric Touch (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/vampiricTouch.htm)

Very open to suggestions and looking for anything else along these lines.

No PF, but Dragon Mag etc. are OK. And again, just stressing - only looking for gear (weapon) based abilities, not feats, class abilities etc.

Cheers - T

It's not quite a weapon, but would the Vampiric Torc count for you? From Magic Item Compendium.

Pretty cheap, and only twice per day, but for a high damage build it's certainly helpful.

I remember there being a psionic leech-like weapon quality if you say did a unarmed strike to a psicrystal you could 'heal' an infinite amount of Power points over time. Or something like that.

Any weapon can be made as an intelligent item that can cast cure moderate wounds on the wielder 3/day. It costs an extra 7,500 gp over the base price, assuming you don't want any other special abilities.

Interesting, but really looking for weapon attributes right now. I'll keep it in mind though.

MIC has Bodyfeeder (as mentioned in the OP) and also Mindfeeder, which is similar, but provides temporary power points, rather than hp. I'm not really interested in things that don't directly involve hit points, though.

Yep, as mentioned in the OP.

What I mentioned was in one of the faerun book. I can't remember if it was a +1 or +3. worked on psionic or if person had spelllike abilties.

Wand Chamber with a Dorje of Vampiric Blade (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/vampiricBlade.htm)

Weapons of legacy if you're willing to deal with the menus, although that's more along the lines of "get to use a healing spell"

Thanks for the suggestions.

Question: is it possible to get any of the Crusader manoeuvres and stances that heal damage on a hit into a magic item or weapon?

An item based on the Crown of the White Raven, ToB p149.

In the Whiteplume Mountain Module (https://web.archive.org/web/20090602052001/http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/WhitePlumeMountainRevised.zip) the Intelligent Weapon of Legacy Blackrazor casts Death Knell on creatures reduced to 0 or lower HP, which grants 1d8 temp HP.

Nychyaella's Healing Spear (Player's Guide to Faerûn): hit may inflict effect of Vampiric Touch up to 3/day (decision can be made after the hit resolved)
Patient Lesson (Ghostwalk): Cure Light Wounds 1/day
Bolt of Healing (Dragon #342): successful hit cures its target of 1d8+5 points of damage (or damages Undead for equal amount)
Ballista Bolt of Healing (Stronghold Builder's Guidebook): in 20' radius from the bolt, cures everyone of 1d8+5 points of damage (or damages Undead for equal amount)
