Special weapons?

Are there any 'special' weapons available for purchase in the weapons store? By 'special', I mean weapons that add to a trait in any way other than just attack. I know that there are many of these that can be found in the dungeon - for example the cobra dagger that adds 100 hitpoints - but I do not know if any exist in the weapons store.
I am referring to the \"advanced\" mode of usurper, primarily version .19.

As far as I know, in an unmodifyed weapons shop, there are no weaopns that add to abilities. There is at least one that requires a cerain amount of strength to weild.
Having stated that, there is a very big disclaimer. Any SYSOP with the ability and desire, can edit the STANDARD weapons and armor files. For example, while my sytem was online, I had one Usurper Door, where all items were set to being available in the shops. I could have just as easily ADDED more weapons, and armor, giving them any desired additional advantages. As an example, in my current test door for the ongoing Wishing Well Test, to even out my test characters, I have a set on new armor and weaponry which knowingly do not add any hitpoints to the user.

Several very popular telnet BBS's do exactly this. Some of their SYSOP's frequently post on this forum.
