| Name = Trident 

| Image = Trident 2.png

| Proficiency = Martial

| Type = 1-Hand

| Cost = 15 gp

| TinyDmg = 1d4

| SmallDmg = 1d6

| MedDmg = 1d8

| LgDmg = 2d6

| Crit = x2

| Range = 20 ft

| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = A trident is a combat version of a farmers pitchfork, despite the common association with aquatic creatures.  Given its humble beginnings, the trident is a remarkably effective weapon.  Used in one hand it's as good at cut and thrust as a longsword, although less likely to do devastating damage.  The real joy, though, is the fact that the broad spread of the three sharp tips allows the wielder to effectively brace the weapon against charges using only one hand!  This is a real unpleasant surprise to those aggressive sorts looking to run you down.  The Trident belongs to the "Spears" and "Thrown" weapon groups.

===Warhammer===
{{:Warhammer (Weapon)}}

| Name = Warhammer

| Proficiency = Martial

| Type = 1-Hand

| TinyDmg = 1d4

| SmallDmg = 1d6

| MedDmg = 1d8

| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = The warhammer is a lighter, better designed heavy mace.  The head is considerably smaller, but cleverly designed to maximize the impact of the reduced weight.  As the weapon is more wieldy, the damage done by a well-aimed swing is very severe even though the weight is considerably less.  The warhammer belongs to the "Hammers" weapon group.

{{Template:Weapon

| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = Like many exotic weapons, the hooked axe looks deceptively simple.  It's just a battleaxe with a funny blade, right?  Indeed, a character with martial weapons skill can use a hooked axe just fine, and it acts exactly as a battleaxe when so used.  In the hands of a skilled user, however, the hooked axe is revealed as a grappling hook of deadly ability.  The hooked axe can catch a wrist to disarm a foe, or catch an ankle to trip, and it looks darn good doing it, too.  The Hooked Axe belongs to the "Axes" weapon group.

===Mace, Cruciate===
{{:Mace, Cruciate (Weapon)}}
{{Template:Weapon

| Quality2 = 
| Quality3 = 
| Quality4 = 
| Quality5 = 
| Quality6 = 
| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = A cruciate mace is made of solid metal (or similar substance) which through the blacksmith's art has been forged in an "X"� cross section keeping it light enough (barely) to be wielded in one hand. The business end is liberally equipped with jagged sawteeth which allow the weapon to inflict piercing as well as bludgeoning damage with a slight twist of the wrist. Sadly, the small teeth make it unlikely a cruciate mace will do exceptional damage, but it certainly hits hard. The cruciate mace belongs to the "Hammers", weapon group.

===Falcata===
{{:Falcata (Weapon)}}
{{Template:Weapon

| Name = Falcata

| Cost = 18 gp

| TinyDmg = 1d4

| SmallDmg = 1d6

| MedDmg = 1d8

| LgDmg = 2d6

| Crit = 19-20 x3

| Quality1 = 
| Quality2 = 
| Quality3 = 
| Quality4 = 
| Quality5 = 
| Quality6 = 
| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = The falcata is an odd-looking thing, with that droopy nose and massive hooked hilt.  In the hands of a skilled user, the design is shown to be a marvel of deadly intent.  It is every bit as good as a longsword in cut-and-thrust combat, but the curved edge, forward balance, and aggressive point combine to inflict extremely severe wounds when a well-aimed strike drives home.  The Falcata belongs to the "Blades, Heavy" weapon group.

}}

===Khopesh===
{{:Khopesh (Weapon)}}
{{Template:Weapon

| Quality2 = 
| Quality3 = 
| Quality4 = 
| Quality5 = 
| Quality6 = 
| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = If the falcata is odd, the khopesh is downright weird, with that odd bowl shaped blade and the little jags and barbs all over the blade.  And it weighs a ton!  But in the hands of a skilled user, the subtle design is clear: The khopesh is at least as effective in cut-and-thrust as a longsword, but it is designed to hook and catch on your opponents armor and clothing at all engagement ranges and hurl him to the ground.  A foe on the ground is soon a dead foe, as all serious warriors know.  The Khopesh belongs to the "Blades, Heavy" weapon group.

===Needlesword===
{{:Needlesword (Weapon)}}
{{Template:Weapon

| Type = 1-Hand

| Cost = 100 gp

| TinyDmg = 1d3

| SmallDmg = 1d4

| MedDmg = 1d6

| LgDmg = 1d10

| Crit = 18-20 x2

| Range = -

| DamageType = Piercing

| Quality1 = Deceptive
| Quality2 = Distracting
| Quality3 = Finesse
| Quality4 = One-Handed Only
| Quality5 = 
| Quality6 = 
| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = The Needlesword is the pinnacle of the swordmakers art, the largest yet lightest blade a master weaponsmith with magical skills and tools can produce. A Needlesword is a needle-slender weapon with a guard made of a tracery of thin wire and the barest wisp of leather padding on the thin handle. A Needlesword does no more damage than a rapier, but in the hands of a skilled wielder (using an Exotic Weapon Proficiency) it can do serious damage on a critical strike. The Needlesword's light weight allows Dexterity to be used for attacks, and can even enhance the effect of feints.  The Needlesword is favored as a weapon by many nobles for whom a rapier is too "common."� A Needlesword cannot be wielded in two hands for extra damage, but it can be used with the Weapon Finesse feat. The Needlesword belongs to the "Blades, Light" weapon group.

=== Saber ===
{{:Saber (Weapon)}}
{{Template:Weapon

| Name = Saber 

| Image = Sabre 3.png

| Proficiency = Exotic

| Type = 1-Hand

| Cost = 60 gp

| TinyDmg = 1d8

| SmallDmg = 1d10

| MedDmg = 1d12

| LgDmg = 3d6

| Crit = 19-20 x2

| Range = -

| Weight = 7 lbs

| DamageType = Slashing

| Quality1 = Deadly
| Quality2 = 
| Quality3 = 
| Quality4 = 
| Quality5 = 
| Quality6 = 
| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = The largest and most deadly of the one handed swords, the Saber is the long sword's meaner brother. A saber has a very small grip to reduce weight, with a light basket hilt instead of a heavy guard, so that the blade may be made as long and heavy as possible.  Even though a saber is only a few inches longer over all than a long sword or bastard sword, the blade is as much as a foot longer than a long swords.  To give the blade as much strength as possible it is curved and has only one edge, for lightness.  The small grip and long, heavy curved blade makes it optimized for long sweeping cuts.  A Saber usually inflicts large, messy wounds, thus the high damage, and the exotic heavy-bladed design allows for heavy cuts, so critical damage is not impacted. The size and unusual fighting style demanded by the curved shape makes it an Exotic Weapon.  The Saber belongs to the "Blades, Heavy", weapon group.

=== Sword, Bastard ===
{{:Sword, Bastard (Weapon)}}
{{Template:Weapon

| Name = Sword, Bastard

| Urlname = Sword,_Bastard

| Quality1 = Deadly
| Quality2 = 
| Quality3 = 
| Quality4 = 
| Quality5 = 
| Quality6 = 
| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = A bastard sword can be used with a martial weapons proficiency feat as a two-handed weapon, or it can be used as a one-handed weapon with an Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat. Even better, if used with an exotic weapon proficiency feat, the wielder is skilled in using the point as well as the edge. This allows the weapon to do either piercing or slashing damage at the user's discretion. Even when being used with the Exotic Weapon Proficiency Feat, a Bastard Sword can be wielded with two hands and inflicts the users Strength bonus times 1.5.  The Bastard Sword belongs to the "Blades, Light" and "Blades Heavy", weapon groups.

=== Sword, Temple ===
{{:Sword, Temple (Weapon)}}

| Quality3 = 
| Quality4 = 
| Quality5 = 
| Quality6 = 
| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = With long, straight, double-edge blades, temple swords are similar to longswords, and indeed, can be used as a longsword with martial skill without penalties.  However, the heavy tassel attached to the pommel, when used with exotic weapon skill, grants the temple sword the distracting quality.  The Temple Sword belongs to the "Blades, Heavy" and "Monk" weapon groups.

| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 =

| Description = The War Axe is a hefty axe designed only for battle. It can be used with both hands and a Martial Weapons Proficiency, or one hand and an Exotic Weapon Proficiency Feat. Dwarves proficient with martial weapons may wield a War Axe with one hand. A War Axe is large enough that a skilled user (with the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat) can use it to shield against attacks. If a wielder simply wields the War Axe, she receives a +1 weapon bonus to  AC and Reflex saves. This bonus does not increase from any magical enhancements the weapon may have, nor may it be stacked with any other weapon bonuses to AC or Reflex. When you use this weapon to fight defensively, you gain a +1 shield bonus to AC.  The War Axe belongs to the "Axes", weapon group.

| Description = The War Flail is a flail made with exotic woods and construction techniques to place the weapon's weight in the very best places to be effective. It grants +2 on Disarm attempts and can be used to Trip. If you are tripped in return, drop the weapon to avoid.  The War Flail belongs to the "Flails", weapon group.

| Quality8 =

| Description = The War Pick is a better made, more damaging version of the Heavy Pick. Its true danger lies in its chance for massive critical damage on every swing. A War Pick used for a Sunder attempt grants the wielder +2 to their Combat Maneuver checks for that maneuver.  The extremely top-heavy balance and rarity make this an exotic weapon.  The War Pick belongs to the "Axes", weapon group.

=== Whip ===
{{:Whip (Weapon)}}
{{Template:Weapon

| Name = Whip

| Proficiency = Exotic

| Type = 1-Hand

| Quality3 = Inclusive Reach
| Quality4 = Non-Lethal
| Quality5 = Non-Threatening
| Quality6 = Provocative
| Quality7 = Trip
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = This is the traditional animal whip used to handle herds, draft teams, and the like. It deals non-lethal damage and does not threaten squares, as the tip is deliberately made light, so as to leave the herded animals unharmed. Rarely used in serious fights, not least because using it provokes attacks of opportunity from people nearby. If you have the exotic weapon proficiency with this weapon, it threatens squares with its reach, and does not automatically provoke attacks of opportunity when used to attack. This weapon is included here for reference, not because it's worth taking.  The Whip belongs to the "Flails", weapon group.

=== Whip, Cavalry ===
{{:Whip, Cavalry (Weapon)}}
{{Template:Weapon

| Name = Whip, Cavalry

| Urlname = Whip,_Cavalry

| Quality6 = 
| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = The Cavalry Whip is a Long Whip designed for mounted use. The Cavalry Whip can perform trip attacks. The Cavalry Whip deals lethal damage and has an enormous 20 foot reach. The Cavalry Whip cannot attack any squares within ten feet of the wielder, nor does it threaten within this range. If any adjacent square is blocked the wielder cannot use the weapon at all, and if any square within ten feet of the wielder is considered blocked you have -4 to hit when the weapon is used.  A Cavalry Whip can be used afoot.

This whip is identical to the Long whip except as above, and the handle is three feet long and the braid is "only"� 14 feet long. The longer handle and shorter braid makes the weapon usable while mounted.  The Cavalry Whip belongs to the "Flails", weapon group.

=== Whip, Heavy ===
{{:Whip, Heavy (Weapon)}}
{{Template:Weapon

| Name = Whip, Heavy

| Urlname = Whip,_Heavy

| Image = heavywhip1.jpg

| Proficiency = Exotic

| Type = 1-Hand

| Cost = 10 gp

| TinyDmg = 1d3

| LgDmg = 1d10

| Quality5 = 
| Quality6 = 
| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = The Heavy Whip is a serious one-handed fighting-whip. It can be used to perform trip attacks, and if you are tripped in return, dropping the weapon negates the trip. It grants +2 on all Disarm rolls. The Weapon Finesse Feat is not usable with a Heavy Whip. The Heavy Whip deals lethal damage. The Heavy Whip has a 10 foot reach, and unlike most reach weapons, can attack opponents in adjacent squares. The Heavy Whip threatens all squares it can reach. Using a Heavy Whip does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

This weapon is the Slight Whip's bigger cousin.  The Heavy Whip is the first serious effort to make a whip into a real combat weapon.  After thousands of years of refinement by a small but dedicated following, the Heavy Whip has evolved into a solid yet very flexible weapon.  It is not the most damaging whip, but it is the best mix of abilities and reasonable damage available. A Heavy Whip has a sturdy handle about a foot long, and a thick yet flexible braid that's about 6 feet long with a wire-reinforced tip. A Heavy Whip in the hands of a strong and skilled user can kill a man quickly, and is a serious threat to any foe on the battlefield.  The Heavy Whip belongs to the "Blades, Light" and "Flails", weapon groups.

| Quality2 = Reach
| Quality3 = Trip
| Quality4 = Unwieldy
| Quality5 = 
| Quality6 = 
| Quality7 = 
| Quality8 = 
| Quality9 = 

| Description = This weapon can be used to perform trips, and if you are tripped in return, you can drop the weapon to avoid the trip. It is not usable with Weapon Finesse, and deals lethal damage. The Long Whip has a 20 foot reach but cannot threaten adjacent squares. A Long Whip takes a great deal of space to use skillfully. If any adjacent square is considered blocked you cannot use the weapon, and if any square within ten feet of the wielder is considered blocked you have -4 to hit when the weapon is used. On top of all that, using a Long Whip provokes attacks of opportunity from foes threatening you. A Long Whip cannot be used while mounted.

This weapon is similar to a Heavy Whip, but much longer. The Long Whip has enormous reach, and in the hands of a strong and skilled user can tip the tide of most battles. A Long Whip has a handle about a foot long, but the braid is much thinner than most whips and about 16 feet long, with a wire-reinforced tip.  The Long Whip belongs to the "Flails", weapon group.

| Quality9 = 

| Description = The War Whip is the Heavy Whip's sturdier, meaner, bigger brother. The War Whip cannot make trip attacks and is not usable with the Weapon Finesse feat. The War Whip deals lethal damage, has a 10 foot reach, and can attack foes in adjacent squares, unlike most reach weapons. The War Whip threatens all squares it can reach.

The War Whip is very popular with battlefield strategists, as it has good long-reaching striking power at the expense of some flexibility.  Unlike most rigid reach weapons, the War Whip can attack close-by foes in the press of combat. It is too stiff to trip or get disarm bonuses, but on the positive side, the lack of flex means that much less "body English" must be used with this weapon, meaning it also does not provoke attacks of opportunity from those adjacent to you.  A War Whip has a handle about a foot long, and the braid is about as thick as a Heavy Whip's, but the War Whip includes more wire reinforcements in the braid.  The most obvious physical difference between the two is the presence of a bladed tip and small spikes along the last two feet of the braid.  These additions give the War Whip its serious punch, but make it much less flexible.  The War Whip belongs to the "Blades, Heavy" and "Flails", weapon groups.
