1 From Sword and Fist Guidebook Elven Arrows3
3From Dragon #279 Alchemist's ArrowBurst into flame 1 round after impact, for 1d4 damage. Target can spend a full round-action to put out the fire (reflex vs. DC 15) before taking this damage. Battlepick, GnomeCrafted and weighted for small creatures only. Small creatures can use the weapon 2-handed as a 'martial' weapon. Bladed GauntletUnlike a standard gauntlet, an attack with a bladed gauntlet is not considered an unarmed attack. The bladed gauntlet possesses two cruelly sharpened blades that extend from the back of the wrist following the line of the forearm. The cost and weight are for a single gauntlet. Bolas, 2 ballA successful ranged touch attack, if hit, trips the opponent. If the opponent fails a grapple check vs. the attack roll, opponent is pinned by the bolas as well. Only works against medium-size or smaller opponents. An opponent can extricate himself from bolas as a full-round action, automatically. Bolas, BarbedAs Bolas, 2 ball above, but does more damage due to wicked barbs on the ends. BoomerangReturns to its thrower on a MISS. To catch it, the character must make a attack roll (as if he were throwing it) and hit AC10. Failure means the boomerang lands 10 feet away from him. Buckler Axe, DwarvenThis small shield is also fitted with a wicked axe blade along one of its edges, providing a nice emergency weapon. Chain-and-dagger+2 bonus on opposed attack when attempting a disarm (including the roll to keep from being disarmed yourself). Can also use the weapon to perform a trip, getting a +2 bonus. If you are tripped in retaliation of your trip action, can opt to drop the chain-and-dagger instead of being tripped. Climbing Staff, ElvenThis special elven double-weapon is a 6' long staff, tipped with a hook. Its primary purpose is to aid climbing into and through the trees, and as such is favored by elven scouts and lookouts. Elves who utilize this tool often, however, get training in its use as a weapon as well. As long as you're going to lug it about, you may as well learn to fight with it, they figure. Fortunately for them, it proves to be as effective as a weapon as it is as a tool. ChatkchaA three-pointed wedge, this weapon returns to its thrower on a miss. Catching it requires an attack vs. AC10. Failure indicates it land on the ground 10' away from the thrower. Nonproficient users trying to catch a returning Chatkcha take damage from its sharp edges. Crescent KnifeA crescent shaped blade attacked to a cross-shaft, allowing its user to make two simultaneous attack rolls each time he attacks with it. (it reminds me of a certain Klingon weapon...) Crossbow, GreatA huge 2 handed beast of a crossbow, this x-bow is loaded via a winch, is a full round action to load, and provokes AoO. Crusher, OrcHeavy, clublike weapon, it is used in a way unlike any other weapon. It allows attacks over Medium sized or smaller allies in front of its wielder with no penalties. DuomLongspear with a standard spearhead and 2 long blades curving backward along the shaft, which can be used to attack adjacent foes, as well as possessing the longspears natural reach. Apply a +2 bonus ot the first attack made vs. an adjacent opponent. Elven ArrowsBlunt Arrows: Masterwork Arrows with special wooden tips that do subdual damage instead of normal. Flight Arrows: Masterwork arrows crafted especially light and aerodynamic, increasing a bow's range increment. Signal Arrow: Masterwork arrow designed to emulate birds' calls when fired. The intricate design makes them clumsy in flight, however, resulting in a -2 penalty if they are used to attack. Smoke Arrow: Essentially a smokestick (see PHB, p.114) in the shape of an arrow. It does no damage, but results in the smoke being emitted in a 10-foot cube where it strikes. Thunder Arrow: An arrow with thunderstones (PHB, P.114) on their tips, thunder arrows do no damage but the thunderstone's sonic attack is triggered on impact. Fukimi-Bari (Mouth Dart)Can fire up to three mouth darts per attack (all at the same target). Do not apply str. modifier to to damage rolls. Cost and wieght indicated are for a single mouth dart. Fullblade (Ogre's Greaatsword)A fullblade is18 inches longer than a greatsword, and is too large for a Medium-size creature to use at all. A Large creature could use the fullblade with one hand, but would suffer the standard –4 nonproficiency penalty to its attack rolls, or with two hands as a martial weapon. A Large creature with the Exotics Weapon proficiency could use the fullblade in one hand with no penalty. A fullblade is also called an ogre’s greatsword. GyrspikeDouble weapon, one end of the shaft holds a fail and the other a longsword. Grants bonuses to disarm and trip identical to Dagger and Chain (above). GythkaA polearm with razor-sharp slashing blades, it is useful for making trip attacks. If you are tripped in retaliation of your trip attempt, you may drop the weapon instead of being tripped. It is also a double weapon, allowing 2 trip attempts as a full round action, in place of making normal attacks. HarpoonIntended for use in hunting whales and other large sea creatures, this weapon can be used on dry land too. See Sword and Fist for all the details. Lajatang or Halfling LajatangA staff with a crescent shaped blade at each end, it is a double weapon. A monk may use the lajatang as a 'monk preferred' weapon, using her unarmed BAB, more favorable attacks per round, etc. Note, the monk MUST take Exotic weapon proficiency with this weapon to do this. MancatcherUsed to capture opponents un-harmed, the mancatcher results in initiation of an immediate grapple (as a free-action) on a successful attack against a small or medium-sized opponent. In addition to the normal grappling options (detailed in PHB, Chapter 8), the wielder of the mancatcher can attempt to pull his already-grappled opponent to the ground as a trip action, without the need to roll an attack roll. The mancatcher is a reach weapon, and cannot be used against opponents in adjacent squares. MantiA shortspear with 4 additional spearheads that project vertically from the shaft creating a star-pattern. Allows a trained user to make one extra AoO per round. Mercurial GreatswordFiled with quicksilver to give it extra 'punch' when swung, this weapon is difficult to use for those without proper training, and carries additional non-proficiency penalties. Mercurial LongswordLike its big brother, the Mercurial Greatsword, just smaller. Orc, ShotputAfter their leader boycotted the Olympic, the orc track and field team decided to take matters into their own hands. (err..that was supposed to be an attempt at humor) Panther ClawThe panther claw looks much like a punching dagger with two extra blades at 45 degree angles on either side of the main blade. The weapon retains the deadly force of the punching dagger, while the extra blades are useful for disarming opponents. Wielder's proficient with the panther claw gain a +4 competency bonus when making disarm attempts with the panther claw. SaiThe Sai is designed to help catch and disarm opponent's weapons, though it can also be used to attack, and even can be thrown. A sai user gets a +4 bonus on attempts to disarm and opponent. Monks with exotic weapon proficiency in the Sai may use their unarmed BAB, number of attacks, etc. when fighting with Sai(s). Scimitar, DoubleThe curved blades of the double scimitar are used most effectively when spinning and twirling with the weapon. Despite the size of it, the weapon benefits more from quick, precise movements than from brute force. The double scimitar is a double weapon. Scimitar, GreatA big, big, scimitar, common to Arabian-style settings and often used by strong humanoid creatures. ScourgeA three-tailed barbed whip, allowing the wielder to make 3 simultaneous attack rolls per attack. This weapon requires separate proficiency from the Whip/Dagger Whip, but can be used by a Lasher as his whip of choice. Skiprock, HalflingPolished and perfectly weighted, these stones are prized by halflings. If thrown 'just right' they ricochet off one target striking a second. Spinning JavelinDue to their design, these javelins can be prepared with a wrapping string (full round action) tied to the throwers finger, which causes the javelin to spin when released, improving its range, accuracy, and penetrating power. They can be thrown as a regular javelin if the string is foregone. Spring-Loaded GauntletMini-crossbow in a glove. Staff, BladedThe blades staff is 6 feet long, with blades at both ends. The complex fighting style employed with this weapon typically uses the haft of the weapon for defense, and the blades for offense. The blades staff is a double weapon. Stump knifeSimilar to a punching dagger, except it is fitted over the stump
of a missing limb. You cannot be disarmed, and fight as if this weapon
were an extension of your body (probably because it IS!), a Thinblade, ElvenRapier-like weapon favored by dexterous elven fighters and rogues. Can be used with the Weapon Finesse feat. Three-Section StaffThis weapon is comprised of 3-sections of wood, of equal lengths, joined at the ends by chain, leather, or rope. A monk who takes the exotic weapon proficiency in this weapon fights with her unarmed BAB and number of attacks per round. The staff requires 2-hands to use. A Monk/Weaponmaster may choose this staff as her weapon of choice. Tortoise Blade, GnomeThis weapon looks like a turtle shell strapped to the gnome's wrist, with a dagger-like blade jutting out where the gnomes fingers should be. It is designed to be used in the off-hand, acting as a buckler (with the statistics of a buckler) as well as useful for off-hand attacks. Triple DaggerUsed in the off-hand as a means to disarm one's opponent, this weapon is held as a shield, not another weapon, and does not cause penalties for fighting with 2-weapons. Grants a +3 bonus when disarming. If used as a weapon of attack, it is treated as a normal dagger, and all normal penalties for fighting with 2 weapons apply. Tumbling BoltThis bolt is designed such that it tumbles end over end, causing opponents to misjudge its trajectory (half their Dex bonus, rounded down, for their AC). War FanThis appears to be nothing more than a beautifully crafted ladies fan, but is an instrument of death indeed. Wielder may attempt a bluff check vs. sense motive of opponent when she first brings out the weapon into melee. If successful, +4 bonus to attack rolls on the first round's attack(s). Ward CestusStout leather gauntlet with metal weights sewn into it. Attacks with it are considered unarmed. Iff All-Out Defense action is take, the ward cestus grants a +1 bonus to AC. Whip DaggerA character with Exotic Proficiency (whip) is also proficient with the Whip Dagger. It is a heaver whip, lined with barbs, and possessing a dagger-like tip. Thus, unlike a normal whip, the whip dagger inflicts regular damage (not subdual) and is not hindered by amour bonuses or natural armor bonuses. The whip dagger is also useful for performing trip actions and disarming opponents. See Sword and Fist Guidebook for game mechanics of this. |
