29) Painful (3.P)
A weapon with the Painful enhancement causes intense, searing pain whenever it inflicts damage. The creature thus affected makes a Fort save and, if the save fails, is afflicted with a -2 adjustment to all attack rolls and saves for the one full round. His armor class is reduced for the same period, either by a -2 adjustment or to his flat footed AC, whichever is greater.

+1 enhancement

30) Painful Burst (3.P)
A weapon with the Painful Burst enhancement operates as a Painful weapon, but with additional effects on a critical hit. If the target makes a successful Fort save, he suffers the effects above anyhow; an a failed save, the effects are doubled (-4 on all applicable rolls and AC) and last for two full rounds. In addition, the pain is so cripplingly intense that it causes 1d4 ability damage to each of two attributes chosen at random; roll a d6 two times, and reject a duplicate on the second roll. This ability damage fades at a rate of 1 point for each full ten minutes of rest. If additional critical hits are suffered, the abilities affected may repeat those damaged earlier.
