Bloodfearer Weapon (Enhancement)

Blood fearing or haemophobic weapons will scream (those that have the power of speech) and faint upon drawing blood. The scream attracts any wandering monsters that happen to be nearby. The faint lasts 1d4 rounds and strips the weapon of any bonuses that it may possess while it is unconscious. In extreme cases (5%), the weapon ceases to be a rigid object, becoming completely flexible (and useless as a weapon) until it regains consciousness.
These weapons are unafraid in combat against creatures that have no blood (undead or shambling mounds, for example), or when fighting in the dark (they cannot see the blood). Hardier weapons of this type (15%) are thanophobic and only faint upon seeing a dead creature.
When the blood fearer weapon result is rolled on the Random Item Chart, the DM should roll another effect and combine thee results.
