Exotic Light Melee Weapons

Nunchaku

	Exotic/Light	Cost	Tiny Dmg	Sm Dmg	Med Dmg	Large Dmg	Crit	Range	Wt	Type
	Nunchaku	2 gp	1d3	1d4	1d6	1d10	x2	-	2 lbs	Bludgeoning
	Weapon Qualities: Disarm, Hard-hitting, Monk
	Nunchaku are a pair of light, symmetrical clubs joined by a short segment of chain, creating a kind of flail that is designed for extremely rapid attacks. A monk can use nunchaku with their 'echoing strike' or 'flurry of blows' abilities, and the scissoring action of the nunchaku's parts adds +2 to disarm attempts made by the wielder. Unlike most light weapons, if wielded in both hands, nunchaku deal 1.5x STR modifier as a damage bonus, instead of only 1x. Nunchaku belong to the "Flails" and "Monk" weapon groups.

Quickpick

	Exotic/Light	Cost	Tiny Dmg	Sm Dmg	Med Dmg	Large Dmg	Crit	Range	Wt	Type
	Quickpick	25 gp	1d3	1d4	1d6	1d10	19-20/x3	-	3 lbs	Piercing
	Weapon Qualities: Hard-hitting, Sunder, Deadly
	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, it is surprisingly effective at damaging unattended objects, and if used for coup-de-grace maneuvers, it does well at such grisly work. Unlike most light weapons, you may wield a Quickpick in two hands to gain 1.5 times your normal Strength bonus. The Quickpick does not usually do massive damage, but when a skilled wielder slips in an expert strike, the damage is hideous. The Quickpick belongs to the "Axes" and "Blades, Light", weapon groups. The rarity, extreme balance, and slender design of the Quickpick make it an exotic weapon.

Sai

	Exotic/Light	Cost	Tiny Dmg	Sm Dmg	Med Dmg	Large Dmg	Crit	Range	Wt	Type
	Sai	5 gp	1d2	1d3	1d4	1d6	x2	-	1 lb	Bludgeoning
	Weapon Qualities: Disarm, Monk, Sunder
	A sai is a short metal rod with a rounded tip, with sturdy prongs curving out like an exaggerated hilt. To the untrained eye it seems a miserable excuse for a weapon, not even sharp. But a trained user gains bonuses to disarm and sunder attempts, as the sturdy rod and prongs can grasp and shatter weaponry with ease. Sais are also light enough and wieldy enough to be used by monks in their blinding-fast attacks. The Sai belongs to the "Monk" weapon group.

Siangham

	Exotic/Light	Cost	Tiny Dmg	Sm Dmg	Med Dmg	Large Dmg	Crit	Range	Wt	Type
	Siangham	3 gp	1d2	1d3	1d4	1d6	18-20/x2	10 ft.	1 lb	Piercing
	Weapon Qualities: Concealable, Monk
	A siangham looks roughly like half an arrow made entirely of steel. It is very small, no more than eight inches long and less than an inch wide. It grants +6 to Sleight of Hand rolls to conceal it on your person. The slim haft provides a decent grip and the broad head does surprisingly good damage for such a small weapon. The Siangham belongs to the "Monk" and "Close" weapon group.

Slightwhip

	Exotic/Light	Cost	Tiny Dmg	Sm Dmg	Med Dmg	Large Dmg	Crit	Range	Wt	Type
	Slightwhip	5 gp	1d2	1d3	1d4	1d6	x2	-	2 lbs	Slashing
	Weapon Qualities: Inclusive reach 10', Trip, Disarm, Finesse
	The Slightwhip can be used to make trip attacks. The wielder of a slightwhip is granted a +2 bonus on all Disarm rolls. A slightwhip is usable with the Weapon Finesse Feat. A slightwhip deals lethal damage. A slightwhip has a 10 foot reach, and unlike most reach weapons, can attack adjacent squares. A slightwhip threatens all squares it can reach. The Slightwhip belongs to the "Flails", weapon group. The slightwhip resembles a buggy whip, except that it is made of stronger leathers and the handle is usually magically treated wood or bone for light weight. The handle is usually about 2 feet long, and the whip portion is about 5 more feet. The Slightwhip is favored by courtiers, and nobles. Indeed, many duels among nobles are fought with Slightwhips. While a Slightwhip is lethal, it is not TOO lethal, thus allowing honor to be served without excessive loss of life. Many mages also find the Slightwhip to be very useful, and use it to trip foes and to deliver touch spells from a safer distance.
