[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 2876581, member: 34958"] I designed some weapons for the Sahasra mythos for DogSoul Publishing and was surprised to see some of the strange weapons from Indian hindu lore. The whip dagger wasn't used, but they did have a knife that they would tie to the end of a rope or cord. They would spin the rope and approach an enemy, either slicing him during the spin, or whipping it with a hand motion so the blade headed right for the victim. Although they didn't use antler's, they did use something called Fakir's Horns that could be connected to a shield. These were natural spear weapons and pretty sharp (perfect for druids in DnD). When a buckler/shield was connected to the spear of the horns, you wouldn't lose the weapon as long as you could hold onto the shield. When connected they would be called a Madu. I worked them in the .pdf. Another version of using the weapons from an animal was a crutch that older men could use as a bludgeon weapon, but that had another name. I think it was Fakir's crutches. I didn't use these as I felt that they wouldn't be as well liked as some of the other weapons. They didn't have scorpion claws, but they did have a hand weapon that looked like brass knuckles with small blades attached. These were called Bagh Nakh or Tiger's Claws. I included them in the .pdf I did for Dog Soul. Finally, they did use two-bladed swords during the day. They also created a dagger with two or three blades, which I also used in a .pdf. It was called a haladie. Check out this website that I used to help with my research: [url]http://www.hindunet.org/saraswati/indianarms.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
