The Quickpick is an exotic weapon that is a slimmed-down and much lighter version of a heavy pick. The light weight allows a skilled wielder many opportunities to severely wound opponents. The Quickpick does not usually do massive damage, but when a skilled wielder slips in an expert strike, the damage is hideous. The rarity, extreme balance, and slender design of the Quickpick make it an exotic weapon. | The Quickpick is an exotic weapon that is a slimmed-down and much lighter version of a heavy pick.

The largest and most deadly of the one handed swords, the Saber is the longswords bigger brother. A saber is a large, curved, one-handed sword with only one edge for lightness. This makes it optimized for long sweeping cuts, to the point that it usually has no piercing tip at all. A Saber usually inflicts large, messy wounds, thus the high damage, but it rarely cuts deeply, so the chance for critical damage is low. The size and unusual fighting style demanded by the curved shape makes it an Exotic Weapon. | The largest and most deadly of the one handed swords, the Saber is the longswords bigger brother.

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. | 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.

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. If Dwarves still lived in the Empire, they could use a War Axe with one hand and a Martial Proficiency Feat. 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 deflection bonus to AC. This bonus stacks with any other deflection bonus the user may have, but does not stack if two War Axes are wielded. If the user declares he is fighting defensively, the AC bonus from the War Axe improves to +2. If the user uses the Combat Expertise feat, the bonus improves to +3. If the user declares Total Defense, the AC bonus is also +3 in that case. | |||

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 is the meaner, smarter cousin of the Cruciate Mace, which uses basic leverage to greatly improve its weight at the expense of the blunt stunning power and massive numbers of sawteeth of the simpler weapon. | 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.

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 to attack items or in Sunder attempts reduces the effective hardness of the targeted object by 5. The hardness of an item so targeted cannot be reduced below 5 by this effect.

The Heavy Whip is very popular with mounted combatants, as it has massive striking power at the expense of some flexibility. Unlike most reach weapons, the Heavy 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 Heavy Whip has a handle about a foot long, and the braid is about as thick as a War Whip, but the Heavy Whip includes much more wire reinforcing and has both a bladed tip and small spikes along the last two feet of the braid. These give the whip its serious punch, but make it much less flexible. | The Heavy Whip is very popular with mounted combatants, as it has massive striking power at the expense of some flexibility.

An ancient weapon, the Spiked Chain was called the Chain Whip for millennia in Celegia, until the Age of the Warrior Kings. The fighting style of the Spiked Chain offended many of the chivalrous in the Age of the Warrior Kings, and the weapon was driven into disfavor. It has marvelous flexibility, however, and is slowly making a comeback. The Spiked Chain does not have a traditional handle (and cannot be equipped with a handle weapon), and is instead looped and wrapped and manipulated using the entire body. | An ancient weapon, the Spiked Chain was called the Chain Whip for millennia in Celegia, until the Age of the Warrior Kings.

The Flickerspike is the Needleswords much larger and deadlier cousin. The Flickerspike is a masterpiece of the swordmakers art, a two-handed weapon of unsurpassed lightness and speed. A Flickerspike is so light and finely made, it can even be used with the Weapon Finesse Feat. Due to the extreme length of the Flickerspike, it can be used to attack foes ten feet away if three points of the Power Attack feat is applied. When used this way, the Flickerspike threatens squares ten feet away, but does not threaten adjacent squares. If used on the defense, such as with the Combat Expertise feat or any of the defensive fighting stances, the Flickerspikes length, leverage, and speed adds one additional point of shield AC to the maneuver. A Flickerspike does not do huge amounts of damage for a two-handed weapon, but it makes up for this with many dangerous critical attacks. The unusual size, weight, and balance of the Flickerspike makes it an exotic weapon. | The Flickerspike is the Needleswords much larger and deadlier cousin.

The damage it does is not large for a two handed weapon, but with every swing it has the chance to do massive critical damage on a lucky strike. If a Greatpick is used to attack items or to perform Sunders, the effective hardness of the object targeted is reduced by 10.

The Hafted War Axe is an ancient weapon much beloved by Templars of Domana, as it is considered to emulate the weapon used by the Powerful God Himself. The War Axe has a square chopping axe blade on one side and a sturdy beak on the other, enabling the wielder to choose between slashing and piercing damage with each swing. In addition, the beak is sturdy enough to use as a prybar, allowing the weapon to grant +4 to attempts to break doors, burst chains, and the like. If the Hafted War Axe is used to attack items or to perform Sunders, the effective hardness of the object targeted is reduced by 5. The hardness of an item so targeted cannot be reduced below 5 by this effect. Last, the Hafted War Axe uses an overlong handle made of lightweight, magically treated wood. If at least three points of Power Attack is used on an attack, the wielder may choose to use the weapon as if it has a reach of ten feet. This option is chosen once per round at the beginning of the round, and while being used this way the Hafted War Axe threatens squares ten feet away but does not threaten adjacent squares. | The Hafted War Axe is an ancient weapon much beloved by Templars of Domana, as it is considered to emulate the weapon used by the Powerful God Himself.
