DRAGON Mag Exotic Weapons (Was: Elven Thinblade?)

[Darklone]

Be careful with Dragons exotic weapons.

If you don't want thieves doublewielding that silly crescent knife... doubling the number of sneak attacks per round...

What does that crescend knife do?

What does that crescend knife do?

It's kinda like a shuriken. You make one attack with a crescent knife and get two attacks out of it. It only deals 1d3 damage, so what the hell, right? Besides, it could easily be ruled to function like shuriken. You know, extra damage on first shuriken only?

 

[Kae'Yoss]

Every sane DM will rule it thus (if it's not already meant to use so anyway, like with the shuriken)

I would. But just wait until you see the Scourge! It's a three-headed barbed whip that allows you to make three simultaneous attacks with a single attack roll. It's only a medium-size melee weapon (so its not to be confused with a regular whip at all), but it deals 1d3 per hit.

Speaking of Dragon weapons... What was the Tortoise Blade, and what was it looking like ?

A dagger that can also function as a buckler.

...and what was it looking like ?

Like a metal spike on a tortoise shell.

Nope. I'm right there with ya'. I just can't think of a two-handed weapon that requires and/or can benefit from finesse.

Quarterstaff/bo-stick, Spear, Two-Bladed Sword, Spiked Chain (which has already been mentioned) and similiar weapons.

There are probably others that I just can't think of right now, but these just floated to the top of my head immediately.

I edited the topic to reflect the discussion.

One of the players in my group played a halfling rogue/lasher. Sure, the whip only does 1d2 damage, but when you start stacking mad amounts of sneak attack damage, and at 15' reach, the point becomes moot. Something to keep in mind when using the cresent blade (minus the reach, of course).

 

[Apok]

If I was going to allow the Crescent Blade, I'd rule that the "one attack-multiple hits" deal works the same way as shuriken. Precision damage is applied only once per attack roll, which includes Sneak Attacks.

This is, IMO, the only sane way to rule it.
