I was thinking that anything over 5 foot would provide the property, but then I realized that this would only allow you to poke someone a square over, which would not be making anything like an effective use of the Falx - the Rhomphaia is a different story, however, as it was designed to be an effective spear-type weapon as well as a heavy blade. Rune - Yes, the Falchion requires two hands. It does, however, offer a +3 proficiency instead of a +2.Golem -Yes, these are meant to be superior weapons. I included that at the very end upon realizing that I had forgotten to include it earlier on. Regarding the Axe comment - I'm something of a stickler for keeping the classifications accurate, regardless of their in-game uses. I understand that the Khopesh is an Axe-Blade hybrid, but these weapons  are not related to axes, in their evolution. They came from devices similar to the medieval Bill, with the purpose being to sever tree limbs with a light sawing motion and then a pull. Revised...(Superior) Heavy BladeFalx - +2, 2d4, High Crit, VersatileGreatfalx - +2, 2d6, High Crit, ????? Rhomphaia - +3, 1d8, Brutal 1, VersatileGreat Rhomphaia - +3 1d12. Brutal 2, Reach     For the Greatfalx - Would Brutal 1 be over powered?And you know, while we're on the subject of making weapons, we could also throw in some new weapon properties (High Crit, Brutal, Small, etc) should the need arise...I can't think of any at the moment, but I'm sure when we get to something like the Macuahuitl or whatever nonsense we eventually need, something else will have come up <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />The ones that I've identified that I will need (and I'll likely be adding more later) are:EDIT: I skimmed the DMG2, and there are rules for "Grand Masters". I very much like the idea of requiring special training before using some of these weapons. I'll Bold said weapons.-Urumi: A Whip-Sword that is also a Belt.<img src="http://www.earmi.it/armi/glossario/immagini/urumi.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />-Macuahuitl: A club-weapon with an edge (usually obsidian) inlaid to make it a Mega-sword. This is NOT a standard one...I just had to include it because the look of this thing makes my man-bits rescind in horror.<img src="http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3497/macuahuitl.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />- Sarissa: Ridiculously long spear of 21', useless in close range (without magic). Bladed on both ends, in case the first one gets lobbed off.<img src="http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/1028/sarissa.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />- Francisca: An axe balanced for throwing.<img src="http://www.swordnation.com/v/vspfiles/photos/XH2120N-2T.jpg?iact=hc&vpx=945&vpy=66&dur=463&hovh=200&hovw=200&tx=101&ty=117&ei=nn5cTfivOMKBlAf_rrXlCQ&oei=iH5cTd3yH8TAtgejgv38Cg&page=1&tbnh=142&tbnw=142&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:19,s:0" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />- Atlatl: A tool used to propel javelins at higher speed and at greater range.<img src="http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/images/38.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />- Monk's Spade: A bladed spade polearm with a crescent blade on the other end...potentially a double weapon?<img src="http://fearlessmma.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/weapons-chinese-weapons-wushu-t-wushu-monks-spade.jpg?iact=hc&vpx=738&vpy=169&dur=6395&hovh=106&hovw=388&tx=264&ty=82&ei=wn9cTd7GK4HXtgevp4D2Cg&oei=wn9cTd7GK4HXtgevp4D2Cg&page=1&tbnh=45&tbnw=166&start=0&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />- Pata: A gauntlet that extends almost to the elbow, with a sword attached in a similar manner as the Katar from which is evolved. Often used in pairs, or with a light shield.<img src="http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/5822/pata1kv7.jpg?iact=hc&vpx=1165&vpy=110&dur=2707&hovh=400&hovw=62&tx=74&ty=203&ei=kkRcTYWnMMOBlAfImJ3kCQ&oei=LERcTfG6NomEtgeIjOmVCw&page=4&tbnh=135&tbnw=21&start=62&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:62" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />- Katana: We ALL know it's just a Bastard Sword, but I GUARANTEE someone's going to argue that it's not, so I'd like to avoid that now and make it separate.<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuqw60l15A1qaumdeo1_500.jpg?iact=hc&vpx=323&vpy=243&dur=621&hovh=201&hovw=251&tx=142&ty=55&ei=H4pcTb_wM8G78ga15s2CDQ&oei=H4pcTb_wM8G78ga15s2CDQ&page=1&tbnh=141&tbnw=158&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />- Tiger Head/Hooked Sword: A very elaborate weapon with a blade that hooks forward, a crescent blade forming a guard at the hilt, and a dagger protrusion from the pommel. Most often used in pairs. Two can be hooked together to make a single weapon that extends 6'...I will definitely me making a feat or something that allows this to happen for a MBA with Reach.<img src="http://www.kungfudirect.com/prodimages/TDS/Other-M/Wushu-Shuang-Gou-b.jpg?iact=hc&vpx=799&vpy=245&dur=410&hovh=199&hovw=253&tx=114&ty=103&ei=TYFcTcX3E8GAlAegreHjCQ&oei=BYFcTZ20INCCtgfIyuX1Cg&page=3&tbnh=132&tbnw=168&start=46&ndsp=23&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:46" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />- Chakram: Bladed disks that are thrown, or used similarly to katars.<img src="http://www.flight-toys.com/rings/art/chackrumall.gif?iact=hc&vpx=207&vpy=146&dur=4914&hovh=157&hovw=321&tx=180&ty=74&ei=LoJcTfPfKIL6tge8vsT9Cg&oei=LoJcTfPfKIL6tge8vsT9Cg&page=1&tbnh=86&tbnw=175&start=0&ndsp=23&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />- Whatever Asian weapons you guys know of that are unique (Mock-Asia is included in my campaign setting, but I know little about their ways of war, sadly) - I know that the repeating crossbow is already in game.There are a bajillion "flavor" weapons that I can think of that I'll need to include, but that (I don't think) denote their own classification. I'm on the fence with the Gastraphetes, however...I could see it as a Superior Crossbow, but at the same time I could see it as its own, as it was considerably slower to load, and extremely powerful; more or less the forerunner of the Ballista (with the advantage of needing only one operator)...so I dunno.But, here it is...<img src="http://www.angelfire.com/geek/CatapultChiks/gastraphetes1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Anyway, if you're aware of other dramatically different weapons from...any place or time (precluding firearms), please bring them to my attention.Thanks,Maro</blockquote>
