Rules and Mechanics

No Posting here!

This thread is for gathering the approved rules and mechanics, from feats and prestige classes to monsters and rule variants.

General Rules - A to M

Barbarian Variant: Totem Barbarian
In a barbarian-heavy campaign, you can increase the variation between barbarian characters if each barbarian tribe dedicates itself to a different totem creature, such as the bear or the jaguar. The choice of a totem must be taken at 1st level, and cannot be changed later except under extreme circumstances (such as the barbarian being adopted by another tribe).
If you use this variant, the barbarian loses one or more of the following standard class features: fast movement, uncanny dodge, trap sense, and improved uncanny dodge. In place of these abilities, the barbarian gains class features as determined by his totem. All totems do not necessarily grant abilities at the same levels, nor do they all grant the same number of abilities. These class features are extraordinary abilities unless otherwise indicated.
The list of totems discussed here is by no means exhaustive. If you prefer to use other totems, you can either substitute the totem name for that of a similar creature (such as changing the Lion Totem to the Tiger Totem) or create a new set of totem abilities, using the information here as a guide.

Ape Totem Class Features
A barbarian dedicated to the ape totem does not gain the standard fast movement, uncanny dodge, trap sense, and improved uncanny dodge barbarian class features, and instead gains the following abilities.

• At 1st level, an ape-totem barbarian gains a climb speed equal to one-half his base land speed (round down to the nearest 5-foot interval). For instance, a human, elf, half-elf, or half-orc ape-totem barbarian has a climb speed of 15 feet, while a dwarf, gnome, or halfling ape-totem barbarian has a climb speed of 10 feet.
• At 2nd level, an ape-totem barbarian gains a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks.
• A 3rd level ape-totem barbarian gains Power Attack as a bonus feat.
• At 5th level, an ape-totem barbarian's climb speed equals his base land speed.

Bear Totem Class Features
A barbarian dedicated to the bear totem does not gain the standard fast movement, uncanny dodge, trap sense, and improved uncanny dodge barbarian class features, and instead gains the following abilities.

• At 3rd level and higher, a boar-totem barbarian's rage lasts for 2 rounds longer than normal.
• Beginning at 7th level, a boar-totem barbarian's damage reduction is 1 point higher than the normal value. Thus, at 7th level, a boar-totem barbarian's damage reduction is 2/-, and it rises by 1 point every three levels thereafter.

Dragon Totem Class Features

Bard Variant: Divine Bard
The Divine Bard is available for play.

Bard Variant: Savage Bard
The savage bard is a warrior at heart, though his arcane powers strike fear into the enemies of his tribe. Savage bards often multi-class as barbarians to improve their combat prowess.

Alignment
A savage bard must be chaotic in alignment. A savage bard who becomes nonchaotic cannot progress in levels as a bard, though he retains all his bard abilities.

Base Save Bonuses
A savage bard has good Fortitude and Will saves, but has poor Reflex saves.

Class Skills
A savage bard loses Decipher Script and Speak Language as class skills. He adds Survival to his list of class skills.

Class Features
The savage bard has all the standard bard class features, except as noted below.
Illiteracy
A savage bard is illiterate, just as a barbarian is. An illiterate savage bard cannot use or scribe scrolls.

Spellcasting
Remove the following spells from the savage bard's class spell list: calm emotions, comprehend languages, detect secret doors, erase, prestidigitation, read magic, sepia snake sigil, summon monster (I through VI).
Add the following spells to the savage bard's class spell list: 1st—calm animals, detect snares and pits, endure elements, summon nature's ally I; 2nd—bull's strength, pass without trace, summon nature's ally II; 3rd—snare, summon nature's ally III; 4th—insect plague, summon nature's ally IV; 5th—commune with nature, summon nature's ally V; 6th—creeping doom, reincarnate, summon nature's ally VI.

Cloistered Cleric Variant
The Cloistered Cleric Variant is available for play.

Cooperative Crafting
Any PC may contribute to the creation of a magic item (including XP and GP and prerequisites). The gold cost may be split in any way as long as the sum total of the gold is accumulated before crafting begins. All characters involved in the creation of them, who are contributing anything beyond financial (gp) components must work together for the entire craft period. In game, this means they must all spend 1 day per 1000gp of the base price locked away creating. Outside of an adventure, or when a DM permits the use of Craft Points in an adventure, the Craft Points must be paid by all parties in full (They are not split) contributing anything beyond money. The XP cost myst be split evenly amonst all those who wish to help contribute XP. In addition the XP cost of the item increases by 20% per additional person contributing XP. If multiple people are contributing then they must pay the same amount.

Number of People Contibuting XP | XP Cost | Per person (split evenly)
1 | 100% | 100%
2 | 120% | 60%
3 | 140% | 47%
4 | 160% | 40%
5 | 180% | 36%
6 | 200% | 33%
7 | 220% | 31%
8 | 240% | 30%

NPCs must voluntarily and without compunction agree to spending XP. A judge should okay any such transaction.
-Origional Proposed by Kahuna Burger, recomposed by Erekose13.

CRAFT POINTS
To craft an item in between adventures, a character with the appropriate item creation feat (such as Craft Magica Arms and Armor, Brew Potion, or Craft Staff; see below) can pay one-tenth the item's market price in craft points (minimum 1 point). He must also pay material costs as normal for creating the item. For a magic item the character must also pay the normal experience point cost for crafting the item. Once the character declares that he is spending these craft points and gold pieces (and experience points, for a magic item), the items is automatically completed one day later (typically the next morning).

Though this makes it appear as if the item was created "instantly," the assumption is that the character has actually been working on it for a while, but only now got around to finishing it. The system simply assumes that characters are always working on various projects in their spare time, even while gathered around the campfire after battling goblins on their latest adventure. Thus, when the time comes, they simply spend the requisite gold and craft points, and the item is "finished" one day later.

To spend Craft points toward the creation of an alchemical, masterwork, or magic item, you must have the requisite Craft feat or assist someone who does (see Assisting, below). Crafting nonmagical armor and weapons or simple items-tools, chests, saddles, and the like-doesn't require a Craft feat. Anyone who helps with the creation of such an item can contribute craft points at the normal rate.

For nonmagical items, you must make a successful Craft check (using the DCs given in the System Reference Document) to complete the item. For a masterwork item, use the DC of the item or of the masterwork component, whichever is higher. A failed check means you waste one-half of the gold pieces and craft points required for the item, but you may try again as soon as the next day if you still have enough gold pieces and craft points to complete the item. Magic items require no skill check to complete. These skill checks must be rolled using a secure method, such as Invisible Castle.


ASSISTING
In addition to the primary crafter-who must have the appropriate Craft feat-up to three assistants can contribute craft points to the creation of the item.

Assistants who have the appropriate Craft feat contribute craft points at full normal value. For untrained assistants (those who don't have the appropriate Craft feat), each craft point contributed counts as 1/2 point of assistance.

The primary creator must contribute at least half of the craft points required to create an item.

It doesn't matter who contributes the gold piece cost that goes towards creating the itme.

Researching Original Spells
A spellcaster of any type can research original spells. Doing so costs 1000 gold pieces and 100 Craft Points per level of the spell, and requires access to a library, temple or other institute appropriate for the character (it is assumed that Orussus has the necessary institutes for all character types). After that, the character must succeed at a Spellcraft check (DC 10 plus the spell's level). If the roll succeeds and the spell has been approved previously, the character learns the spell. Otherwise, the character must go through the research process again.

Spontaneous casters such as bards and sorcerers cannot exceed their spells known limit by researching a new spell. For 0 level spells, the costs are 500 gold pieces and 50 Craft Points.

Assisting in Spell Research
Characters can cooperate in spell research using the normal rules for assisting. Spellcasters are considered trained assistants, while non-spellcasters count as untrained assistants.

Training Animals
To spend Craft points toward training an animal or other creature, you must be trained in the Handle Animal skill or assist someone who does (see Assisting, below). Anyone who helps with the training can contribute craft points at the normal rate.
You must make a successful Handle Animal check (using the DCs given in the System Reference Document) to complete the training. A failed check means you waste one-half of the craft points required for the training, but you may try again as soon as the next day if you still have enough craft points to complete the training.

Assisting in Animal Training
Characters can cooperate in training animals using the normal rules for assisting, except for the purpose of rearing wild animals.

Costs of Training
Teach an Animal a Trick: 50
Train an Animal for a Purpose: 50 x the number of weeks required
Rear a Wild Animal: 250 + 50 x the animal's HD

Dire Animals and Dinosaurs (and other special animals): Above value x 1.5
Non-Animals with Int 1 or 2: Above value x 2

GAINING CRAFT POINTS
A 1st-level character has 150 craft points. With each class level gained, he gains a number of craft points equal to his new levelx150. A 2nd level character can have as many as 450 craft points, and so forth, all the way up to 20th-level character, who would have a total of 31,500 craft points (assuming he never spent any).

Creatures with Intelligence of 3 or higher have craft points a character whose level equals their class levels + Hit Dice. A chain devil (8 HD), for instance, has the craft points of an 8th-level character. If that chain devil gained a class level, it would gain an additional 1350 craft points.
Despite being at least reasonably intelligent, a griffon or pegasus is unlikely to be in a position to craft an item or assist another character in crafting an item. The DM must use his best judgement when determing whether a character can use its craft points.

Creatures with Intelligence of 2 or lower (or without an Intelligence score) never gain craft points.

Familiars or special mounts never gain craft points, regardless of their Intelligence or Hit Dice.



ITEM CREATION FEATS
Each time you gain an item creation feat, you gain additional craft points as noted on the table below. You don't have to spend these craft points on items appropriate to the feat - you can spend them on any item. For example, Craft Magical Arms and Armor grants a bonus of 2500 craft points, which you can use to craft weapons, armor, potions, or any other item.

The table below gives appropriate new prerequisites for all item creation feats, including those in the System Reference Document.

Horizon Walker
Class Skills: Knowledge (the planes) is considered a class skill for Horizon Walkers.
-Proposed by Bront

Also, Horizon Walkers have the option to take Terrain Mastery: Arcane as a Terrain Mastery.
Terrain Mastery - Arcane: Sometimes a Horizon Walker walks the paths arcane, exploring ancient ruins of long-forgotten civilisations, stuying ancient tomes, wondering about the arcane mysteries of the towers, and cramming all night for a test on flow diagrams for Secrets of the Six Towers. Such a Horizon Walker unlocks arcane secrets similar to those earned by other horizon walkers for their respective terrains:
Knowledge (Arcana) and Spellcraft are Horizon Walker class skills for you, and you can use Prestidigitation, Detect Magic, and Read Magic each once per day as a spell-like ability with caster level equal to your character level. You gain a +1 insight bonus to attacks and damage against arcane creatures.
Note: Arcane creatures are defined as creatures created or spontaneously spawned by magic and who thus originally have no ordinary terrain (such as forest), residing in ancient ruins or spreading outwards from a failed experiment. This includes most constructs, many undead, some elementals and fey, and a few magical beasts and aberrations that have in their descriptions that they were created by twisted magics. Whether or not a creature counts as arcane is up to the GM's discretion, in much the same way that whether a creature counts as 'forest' terrain could be open to discretion (for instance: a goblin who was born in a city, whose mother was a mountain goblin born in the forest and whose father was a normal goblin born in the hills who lived in the forest and then moved to the city). In any case, it never includes dragons or ordinary humanoid arcane casters. It also does not include summoned creatures unless those summoned creatures would meet the description even if they were not summoned (so a golem summoned by a Summon Golem spell would count, but not a summoned Celestial Badger or Succubus).
Summary of Arcane Creatures: = Creatures created by arcane means (most constructs/many undead), as well as those either greatly influenced by arcane terrain or whose influence helps create arcane terrain, such as some Elementals, Fey, Aberrations, Magical Beasts, or rarely other creature types. Summoned creatures do not count as arcane unless they would already count without being summoned.
-Created by Rystil Arden

The Job System
The job system is meant as an alternate source of income, for times when adventures are scarce, or for characters that are not as adventuresome as others. For every full week in real life (starting with the day the character makes a post in an appropriate downtime thread, such as the Red Dragon Inn or his shop thread), a character on a job, but not on adventure gains some benefits, usually money and some other benefits (such as Craft Points, minor favors, and the like), and 5 XP per week. Partial weeks are passed to assistants, if any. In that case, all of that week is treated as though the apprentice (or nobody, if there is no apprentice) worked that week. Most jobs have a requirement that must be fulfilled, though characters on the way to fulfill the requirements might become apprentices/assistants to another character.

NPC ASSISTANT
Sometimes, a character on a job may want or need to abandon it for a while. Normally, that means that he gains no benefits from the job (some jobs may allow the character to gain reduced benefits). In those chases, if the character has no other assistants, he may want to hire an NPC assistant. This reduces the weekly benefits by 1/2, but other benefits (such as from sold items) are gained normally.

Obtaining a Job
A character not currently on an adventure who qualifies for a job may (note the job on his character sheet/start an appropriate (Adventure?) thread?) and notify a judge. A character becoming an apprentice or partner of another character with the same job should (note this as well/use the thread of that character?).

Jobs use the following template:
NAME

Racial Paragon Classes
In most campaigns, the ideas of class and race are separate concepts. But with racial paragon classes, the line between the two becomes blurred. Racial paragons are, as their name suggests, nearly ideal examples of the strengths and abilities of the character's race. Unlike members of other classes, however, racial paragons are more than merely powerful individuals. They are strong in all the ways that their race is strong, while still vulnerable in the ways that their race is vulnerable. Beyond that, they possess powers or capabilities that supersede those of normal members of their race. While any elf might rise in power, prestige, and (in game terms) level, most do so by gaining levels in the standard character classes—only a few are so much in tune with their heritage and racial abilities that they become racial paragons.

Racial paragons rarely undergo the rigorous training or study that members of other classes commonly undertake between levels. Their experience, wisdom, and heroic abilities simply manifest in the form of superior innate racial abilities. Despite this strong association with race, racial paragons need not have specific views or special dedication to their race's beliefs or typical attitudes (although many do).

Obviously, a character can only take levels in the racial paragon class associated with his race. A human cannot take levels in dwarf paragon—only dwarves are capable of reflecting the highest virtues of dwarfhood by gaining levels in the dwarf paragon class. (Half-elves and half-orcs are an exception; see the Half-Elf Paragon and Half-Orc Paragon sections below.)

Like the fighter, the wizard, and the other standard character classes, the racial paragon classes have no prerequisites (other than being a member of the appropriate race). Paragon class levels can be taken any time a character gains a new level, even at 1st level (in which case they receive four times the normal number of skill points gained at each succeeding level). A character can multiclass freely between standard character classes, prestige classes for which he or she qualifies, and the character's appropriate racial paragon class.

It's possible for a powerful magic effect such as shapechange, reincarnate, or wish to change a character's race. If a character has already taken racial paragon levels in his original race, he can never become a paragon of another race. However, such shapechanging and form-altering magics also cause no loss of a paragon's class abilities—the class abilities gained from racial paragon levels are affected no more or less drastically than benefits gained from having levels in any other class.

Levels in racial paragon classes never result in XP penalties for multiclass characters. See below for the currently available racial Paragon classes

Racial Paragon Option: Human Paragon
The human paragon may apply his or her spellcasting advancements to psionic classes as well.
-Created by Velmont

Ranger Option: Favored Enemy: Shapechanger
Rangers may choose Shapechanger as a favored enemy, affecting all creatures with that particular subtype. As with the normal rules for favored enemies, if a specific creature falls into more than one category of favored enemy, the ranger’s bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher.

Ranger Variant: Scent
At 4th level, the ranger can choose to either gain the Lesser Scent ability, or get an animal companion as per the normal progression.

Lesser Scent (Ex): This special quality allows a creature to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. Creatures with the scent ability can identify familiar odors just as humans do familiar sights.

Unlike normal Scent, however, lesser scent does not allow the creature to automatically detect scents; it must focus on the attempt, and its range is slightly smaller.

The creature can detect opponents within 20 feet by sense of smell by making a successful Search check against DC as per Table S-1. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 40 feet; if downwind, it drops to 10 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range.


When a creature detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a move action to note the direction of the scent.

Whenever the creature comes within 5 feet of the source, the creature pinpoints the source’s location.

A creature with the Track feat and the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom (or Survival) check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10 (no matter what kind of surface holds the scent). This DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry’s odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Creatures tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.

Ranger Variant: Urban Ranger
The Urban Ranger is available for play.

Recharging Magic Items

A staff, wand, or other charged item (like a ring of wishes) may be recharged by paying a fraction of the cost of creating the item equal to the ratio of cost per charge. The person recharging the item must meet all requirements for creating the item in question (including any feats, spells, or other requirements). You must devote time equal to 1 day per 1000gp involved. When recharging an item, you must pay an additional up front cost of 10% of the creation cost (in gp only).

For example if a Wand of Cure Light Wounds needed recharging. The wand has an initial market price of 750gp for 50 charges. Each charge then costs 7.5gp, with an up front cost of 37.5gp. If a caster were trying to recharge this wand 40 of its 50 charges, the caster would have to pay 337.5gp, 24XP, and 1 day. The caster must have Craft Wand and Cure Light Wounds available.

Another example, if a Ring of Three Wishes needed recharging. The ring has an initial market price of 97,950gp for 3 charges. Each charge costs 3825gp and 5306xp. If a caster were trying to recharge this ring 2 of its charges, the caster would have to pay 8797.5gp and 10,612xp, and 66 days. The caster must have Forge Ring and Wish or Miracle available.

Notes: Both items above mention 'Days' in LEW we use Craft Points. Substitute the appropriate number of craft points based on associated costs as per the rules.

Here are the two examples listed in recharging
Wand of Cure Light Wounds
Max Charges: 50
Base Cost: 750gp
Creation Cost: 375gp + 30xp + 1 day (or some craft points)
Creation Cost per charge: 7.5gp + 0.6xp + 1 day (or some craft points)
Up Front Cost: 37.5gp
Current Charges: 10
Desired Charges: 40
Creation Cost for 40 charges: 337.5gp + 24xp + 1 day (or some craft points)

Ring of Wishes
Max Charges: 3
Base Cost: 97,950gp
Creation Cost: 11,475 gp + 15,918 XP + 98 days (or some craft points)
Creation Cost per charge: 3825gp + 5306xp + 33 days (or some craft points)
Up Front Cost: 1147.5gp
Current Charges: 1
Desired Charges: 2
Creation Cost for 2 charges: 8797.5gp + 10,612xp + 66 days (or some craft points)

Wizard (Conjurer) Variant: Rapid Summoning
This Conjurer variant is permitted.

Wizard (Necromancer) Variant: Undead Servant
A 1st-level necromancer using this variant can begin play with an undead servant (a
human warrior skeleton). Obtaining this servant takes 24 hours and uses up magical
materials that cost 100 gp.

This creature is a loyal servant that follows the necromancer's commands and accompanies
him on adventures if desired. If the undead servant is destroyed, the necromancer
suffers no ill effects and may replace it by performing a ceremony identical to the one
that allowed him to obtain his first servant.

At 1st level, the skeleton is completely typical, but it gains power as the necromancer
gains levels. Consult the table below for details.
A necromancer using this variant permanently gives up the ability to obtain a familiar.

Skills and New Skill Uses

Perform (Gladiatorial)
This use of the perform skill differs from the standard sub skills in a few ways.

Class Skill
In addition to those classes normally having perform as a class skill, Perform (Gladiatorial) is available as a class skill to fighters and barbarians.

Number of Performers
Attempting to use Perform (Gladiatorial) as a single performer (such as through weapon drills or sword dances) incurs a -5 penalty to the check.
Two performers working together can either use the aid another maneuver (if they are playing out a mock battle with a predetermined winner) or make opposed checks (or a series of opposed checks) to determine the outcome of a stylish and non-lethal competition.
A performer attempting to simultaneously make a gladiatorial performance and engage in a lethal battle (whether it is against another gladiator or a non-performing opponent) takes a -1 penalty to all attack rolls and to AC as she must balance effectiveness with entertainment.

Synergy
A character with 5 ranks in Perform (Gladiatorial) gains a +2 bonus to intimidate checks to demoralize an opponent.

Bardic Music
As a non-auditory performance, Perform (Gladiatorial) cannot be used to activate a bardic music ability.

Circumstance Bonuses
Factors which give static bonuses to attack rolls (such as masterwork or magical weapons, weapon focus feats etc) add the same bonus to Perform (Gladiatorial) checks. Temporary or variable factors to attack rolls (such as spells, Power Attack or Two-Weapon Fighting) have no effect on the perform check.

• Followers represent a number of non-combatants under the character's wings. They can be employees who run and guard the character's shop, followers of the church of the character, or a theatre troop who perform with the character. They will never appear in an adventure and so will never be statted.

Prerequisites: Str 13+, Power Attack, Cleave, Mounted Combat, Ride-by attack, 5 Ranks Ride skill
Benefit: If you gain an opportunity to cleave while charging on a mount, you may instead continue your charge into another opponent in line with your current charge. This attack is considered a charge in every respect, and all feats and bonuses involved in the charge work as normal (Spirited Charge, Ride-by Attack, Lance charging damage bonus, etc.). You may not exceed your normal movement restrictions on a charge. You can use this ability as often as you may normally cleave (once with normal cleave, as many times as otherwise legally available with Great Cleave).

Example: Sir Joe charges a goblin 20' away on his horse, and kills it with his attack. He may continue to charge the second goblin 10' directly in line of his charge. If the goblin was 40' behind the first one, he could not charge since he would be moving farther than his allowable charge distance. Likewise, he could not charge a goblin that would require him to change the direction of his charge.

Prerequisites: Str 13, Dex 15, Power Attack, Two Weapon Fighting, Weapon Focus
Benefit: As a full attack action or part of a charge attack, you can make a single attack (at a -2 penalty) with two light weapons for which you have the Weapon Focus feat.

Precision based damage effects and weapon specialization damage are added only once, but magical enhancements to damage from either weapon are added together. If the weapons have different enhancement bonuses to hit, only the lesser is used in the single attack roll.

Energy Manipulation [Metamagic]
Benefit: You can alter a spell so that it utilizes a different energy type from the one it normally uses. This ability can only alter a spell with the acid, cold, fire, electricity, or sonic descriptor. The spell level of an energy manipulated spell depends on the energy type being utilized.
If the original spell was not subject to spell resistance then the modified spell is also not subject to spell resistance.
Examples: Burning Hands (1st level [Fire]) changed to [Cold] is a 2nd level spell. Burning Hands changed to [Acid] is a second level spell, but is still subject to spell resistance. Burning Hands changed to Sonic is a 3rd level spell.
Acid Arrow (2nd level [Acid]) changed to [Fire] is a 3rd level spell. Acid Arrow changed to sonic is a 4rd level spell. All variations of Acid Arrow are not subject to spell resistance.

Equipment

Weapons

Boomerang: The boomerang is a curved wooden stick designed specifically for throwing. The boomerang returns at the end of a character's turn during which it is thrown. To catch a returning boomerang, the thrower must be in the square from which the boomerang was thrown, and must have at least one hand free (holding nothing). The thrower makes an attack roll using the attack bonus used to make the attack against AC 10. If successful, he catches the boomerang. Failure indicates that the boomerang falls to the ground nearby, using the grenade-like weapons diagram (page 138, PH) to determine the exact position.
In addition, since it is not designed for melee, you are treated as nonproficient with it and take a –4 penalty on attack rolls if you use a boomerang as a melee weapon.
A boomerang is a light weapon.
-Created by Gnomeworks

Cutlass: The cutlass is a finesse weapon, so it can be used with the Weapon Finesse feat, but it may not be used two handed for extra damage. In all other respects, it is treated as a normal One Handed Martial weapon. All classes that are proficient in all martial weapons, as well as Rogue and Bard, are proficient with the cutlass.
-Created by DerHauptman

Halfscythe: The Halfscythe has a handle the same length as one on a longsword, but with no form of guard between the haft and the blade. The blade of a halfscythe is curved like a scythe and double edged, with the interior blade often being designed with serrated edges.
-Created by Creamsteak

Ranseur, Goblin: A goblin ranseur is a double weapon. You can fight with it as if fighting with two weapons, but if you do, you incur all the normal attack penalties associated with fighting with two weapons, just as if you were using a one-handed weapon and a light weapon. A creature wielding a goblin ranseur in one hand can’t use it as a double weapon—only one end of the weapon can be used in any given round.
When using a goblin ranseur, you get a +2 bonus on opposed attack rolls made to disarm an opponent (including the roll to avoid being disarmed if such an attempt fails).
-Created by WizWrm

Shortscythe: A shortscythe is a small curved blade affixed to a one-handed grip similar to a kukri, however, it is curved much further at first and then the blade straightens out into a sharp point. Both sides of the blade are sharp, with the interior blade commonly being serrated like a saw blade.
