Hey, Tesubo! How's it going, man? I see you're still hard at work on this thread. I really like the drow double sword.

That brings me to my requests. I've recently been revising some old 2E weapons to 3rd Edition stats. Some of them are my own creations, while others are some of the Asian-styled weapons that didn't make it into the new Oriental Adventures hardcover. I'm interested in getting image done for the following weapons. (Take your time, of course.)

Kiseru (iron pipe) - I don't have the old 2E OA so I'm assuming this is a iron smoking pipe. Weight - 1/2 lb.

Kumade (climbing rake) - This one is a double weapon. Bludgeoning or slashing weapon. Weight - 3 lbs.

Daikyu bow and arrows - This is described as the Samurai's bow. Bow Weight - 3 lbs. Arrow Weight - 1 lb.

Tetsubo - You know what this is. :) The one in my campaign is strickly a bludgeoning weapon. Weight - 10 lbs.

Dragonfly sword - Similar in design to the butterfly sword describe in OA. However, it is twice the size and not as wide a blade. Strickly a slashing weapon. Weight - 4 lbs.

Tri-dance - This is a one-handed, bladed melee weapon. It has a crescent moon-shape with a third blade extending up between the two outer blades. The weapon is worn the same as you would a nekode with the blades protruding outwards for maximum slashing damage. The weapon is actually strapped to the hand so it is impossible to be disarmed unless someone cuts your hand off. :) Tri-dances are often weilded on both hands and rumors abound that aquatic races have created something similar for the feet as well. Weight - 4 lbs.

Bakahatsu-gama - Image you took a light flail, cut the haft in half, and attached a long chain to the end of the haft. Then you would double the length of the chain holding the flail head to the haft's top. Finally you would attach the bladed side of a kusari-gama on to the other end of the long chain. That is a bakahatsu-gama. Bludgeoning or slashing damage. Weight - 6 lbs.

Nogasi (korobokuru hammer) - This racial hammer is to the korobokuru what the urgrosh is to the dwarves of western culture. A nogasi is a double weapon that inflicts bludgeoning or piercing damage. The nogasi has a hammer on one end and a spear on the other end. It isn't as heavy a weapon as the urgrosh only weighing 6 lbs.

Tai-sun - The reason I like the drow double sword, is that is reminds me of the Tai-sun. The main difference is that the blades face the same direction and are joined in the middle. Simply think of the special klingon weapons from Star Trek, but then imagine that a race of asian-dwelling blue-skinned elves improved on the design. The blades should be longer but not as wide as the klingon weapon. More graceful looking. This is strickly a slashing weapon. Weight - 7 lbs.

Interesting. I like the wrapping job. It kind of looks like the Grateful Undead. :)

To keep the weight down I would consider the following: the weapon is around 48" - 54" long, the shaft is tubular steel and the two "spheres" and the fluted section of the head are hollow. That might keep the weight down to six pounds. But a hammer type weapon could weigh more and not be unwieldy.

Awsome job Tetsubo! I love it!

Thanks,

p.s. How much would you suggest for the weapon's weight? I'm flexible about it.
