Unique Weapons, 7 (d100)

Blades, bludgeons and bows of all shapes, sizes and mysterious backgrounds. Heroes and villains across fiction can often be immediately recognized by their signature weapon, causing the weapon itself to be an iconic part of the character. From Perrin’s spiked half moon axe to Roland’s enormous sandalwood revolvers, the jedi’s lightsabers, Arya’s needle, Legolas’s bow, Wolfwood’s Punisher, Detritus’s Piecemaker, the bride’s katana, Bond’s Walther PPK, Robin Hood’s longbow, Jason’s machete or Indiana Jones’s whip, a weapon can even function as a physical manifestation of the character’s personality. None of these weapons are intensely magical in their own right but can serve as the physical basis for family heirlooms, legendary artifacts and magical or masterwork weapons. Alternatively they can be found as loot and become part of a PC’s distinctive appearance, allowing the player to become fully immersed in their character’s look and feel.

The greater the foe the wielder faces, the hotter the runes burn with killing power as the blade yearns to battle in the flesh of enemies.

13

26

A Roll on "Random Sword Table" crafted from an ancient relic, it’s more akin to a giant piece of a shattered tooth on a hilt rather than an actual sword.

A jagged longsword that has a hilt resembling the gnarled branches of a dead tree extending from the trunk which forms the handle.

A falcata (Shortsword statistics) with a forward curved blade with a single cutting edge on the concave side. The blade widens near the tip, narrowing in the middle and the shape of the blade distributes the weight in a way so as to give the weapon the momentum of an axe while maintaining the versatility of a sword. The hilt is hook-shaped to help prevent the sword from flying out of the wielder’s hand in the heat of battle.

30

An easily wielded wooden shortspear tipped with a razor sharp iron spike. The weapon’s dagger-like blade is about half the length of the overall spear.

A handle inside the tube allows the wielder to maintain a hold on the weapon in the heat of battle. The weapon is versatile, capable of slashing, stabbing, and blocking opponent’s blows, while the shape of the blade is such that even slight contact could inflict a serious wound. The weapon takes two hands and an entire round to don the weapon over the arm or release it by pulling it off but while wielded, the weapon cannot be disarmed short of actual dismemberment. In order to properly use this uncommon weapon, the wielder must have practiced with it for at least one hour in the past week. Knowledgeable PC’s are aware that the weapon is known as a “Scissor” in the gladiatorial community and is not often found outside of a pit-fighting arena.

36

A bardiche (Halberd statistics) with a long, cleaver-like blade attached to a relatively short wooden pole. The blade is attached to the shaft by means of two sockets, one on top of the pole and the other at the base of the blade.

The blade has a ridge running along the center, giving it a diamond-shaped cross-section, which giving the blade greater strength when thrusting. The single-handed hilt has a cruciform-guard and a pommel. The sword is primarily used for thrusting as its narrow, but sturdy tip is ideal in finding the gaps of plate armor. Its light design allows the blade to be held with a hand, allowing a more agile, aggressive and close-ranged fighting style compared to traditional broadswords.

42

A longspear whose wooden shaft was carved from a tree branch and is topped with an iron spearhead with a rounded tip and a narrow blade.

The weapon is known as a Sica and its angled blade is designed to reach around the shields of opponents. With the tip pointing up, the sword can reliably catch the bottom of opponent’s helmets, allowing the wielder to force the blade upwards through the jaw and into the brain. In order to properly use this uncommon weapon, the wielder must already be proficient in standard shortswords and longswords and have practiced with the Sica for at least one hour in the past week. A trained wielder can easily hook around an opponent’s shield as if it wasn’t even there and attacks made with this weapon ignore any defensive benefits that an opponent’s shield would normally provide.

57

A keenly honed longspear with the name “Sharkdoom” etched along its length. The weapon is tipped with a heavy, four flanged spearhead with a spiraling blade.

65

A rapier that more than likely crafted and used by the graceful faerie folk that live in the deep forests.

86

A longsword with an ornate bone handle of suspiciously human origin and a grip loosely wrapped in silk threads. From the tip of the blade to the hilt flows two very different edges. One side’s length is pristine and silvered while its opposite edge is stained red and serrated with a glass like sheen.

A jian (Longsword statistics) with a flat, round, disc-shaped steel pommel, a white ray skin grip and a low-profile steel cross-guard in the shape of a tiger and a horse flanking the blade.

Battle Instrument: A masterfully crafted Roll on "Random Musical Instruments" that is a combination of deadly weapon and musical instrument. The weapon’s cutting edge, sharpened point or sturdy bludgeoning side is naturally incorporated into the look and feel of the musical tool. The apparatus is constructed from extremely resilient materials and the instrument is never damaged as a result of casual use in combat. A bearer must be proficient in both the instrument and the weapon in order to properly utilize the battle instrument. A talented wielder can easily use the multipurpose object as either a weapon or instrument (And is considered “armed” when holding it) but it can only function as one or the other in a given round. —Note: I suggest using the weapon statistics of whatever weapon seems most appropriate. A flute can have a pointed end or bladed side (Dagger or shortsword statistics), a didgeridoo could have metal banding or a sharpened end (Club or shortspear statistics) or a lute could have a crescent blade on one side or be made of wood of strings of a enchanted wood that will bend and flex without breaking (Battleaxe or shortbow statistics).
