| colspan="10" align="left" | A club is a heavy blunt object, usually two to four feet long. Clubs are often made of bone or wood, and rarely have much in the way of work applied to them. A handy branch with a knot at one end makes a dandy club. Despite their sturdy simplicity clubs are not bad weapons. They do appreciable damage and can be thrown to reasonable distances, especially considering the price. The Club belongs to the "Hammers" and "Thrown" weapon groups. | | colspan="10" align="left" | A club is a heavy blunt object, usually two to four feet long.

| colspan="10" align="left" | A heavy mace is a club with a nice tuxedo on, usually made of stone or steel. A heavy mace is about three feet long with a mighty striking head, usually equipped with some painful flanges and other tenderizers. Despite the expense and hard-hitting nature of the thing, there's really nothing in the way of finesse in a mace. It's got a nice suit on, but it's still a simple weapon. A heavy mace is seriously heavy, too, it's a real handful to use with one hand, and for that reason a heavy mace cannot be thrown with any measure of adroitness.

You can throw it a good long way with reasonable accuracy. You also can use the long grip to stick frogs and nasty neighbors, and the extra length gives you enough leverage to do some serious damage, too.

| colspan="10" align="left" | The longsword is much more than a stretched out short sword. The extra length of a longsword makes it a serious martial weapon, able to inflict heavy damage at all times and hit for deadly effect pretty often. The combination of deadly damage combined with a fairly small, light, and handy size makes the longsword a serious favorite of all adventurers. There are literally dozens upon dozens of variations of the long, straight one-handed sword blade, and for our purposes, they're all long swords.

| colspan="10" align="left" | The scizore is a powerful but miserable weapon. A hollow pipe, sealed on the end, covers the grip and sheaths the forearm, locking the wrist. A nasty double-hook tips this beastly thing. The large rigid shape means the scizore protects the wielder and can generate awesome power in strikes, but the drawbacks are severe. If you do not attack with a hand wielding a scizore you gain a +1 shield bonus to your AC. When you attack with that hand you lose the shield bonus until the beginning of your next turn. Because the scizore locks your wrist, all attacks are made at a -1 to-hit penalty. A scizore does grant a +10 bonus to your CMD to prevent you being disarmed of the miserable thing, and squeezing your hand into it means that donning or removing a scizore is a full round action. While wearing a scizore, that hand can do nothing else.

A sword cane is usually carried in-hand rather than on the belt, to lend credence to the disguise, and as a result you can draw the blade as a swift action (or a free action if you also have the Quick Draw feat). Anyone examining the owner must make a Perception check to realize the true nature of the sword cane. The DC of this check is a Sleight of Hand check made by the wielder, made with a +4 weapon bonus.

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.
