I want one too

[Minigiant]

Are there stats for the trident, spiked gauntlet, and scourge? I don't see them in the PHB but my cousin has a habit of stealing the weapons of the last guy he killed. And since he just insulted the mother of an azer NPC, I can predict a double scourge ranger soon. I need some math to convince him to "draw his axes already!" before he starts hurling them.

Don't let 7 year olds play D&D if you like your sanity.

ATM I'm going with:

Trident
1d8 damage two handed, military
+2 proficiency, spear,
heavy thrown 3/6

Scourge
1d6 damage one handed, simple
+2 proficiency, flail,

Spiked gauntlets
1d6 damage one handed, simple
+2 proficiency, light blade,
Off hand

Based on the azer and sahaugin

I would count a scourge as a flail, a trident as a spear, and a spiked gauntlet as... a katar, maybe? Or maybe just a dagger.

A game doesn't really need specific stats for every possible weapon. A trident is just a spear with some extra pointy bits - "1d8 damage, +2 proficiency, versatile" is more than abstract enough to cover that sort of variation.

Trident is pretty much a spear. Give it the same damage, and traits.

Spiked gauntlet is just flavor. There's no non-lethal damage, so spiked's ability to do lethal damage is somewhat moot. If that's not good enough, use a katar.

Scourges, as a weapon rather than an impliment of torturing a helpless victim?

One handed Improvised weapon.

They're fine.

There no reason for them, but no reason not to allow them.

I wouldn't make a spiked gauntlet equal to a katar, unless the spikes were like wolverine claws. I'd make it no better than +2/1d4.

Trident? Yeah, I'd leave it as a spear. In some cases a monster's weapon might be more powerful, but you can explain that it's because of the monster's skill or something.

 

[generalhenry]

katars have +1 and high crit compared to them.

Compare them to sickles.

For what it's worth, we are planning on modeling gauntlets (not spiked ones) for a character (one of mine) who decided to never again use a knightly weapon - and feels that the epitome of brawling like an unworthy mercenary is using fists, wrapped in steel of course (he is a mercenary and DOES need to get the job done). We made them exactly like throwing hammers, except they're not throwable, of course. 1d6, +2, off hand, and they count as hammers for feats - since hammer powers are all about the dazing and stunning and we thought it fit well with a gauntleted fist.

Whaddaya mean? Haven't you ever seen Tranzor Z? Rocket...PUNCH!

BTW, I was thinking about one of the advantages of gauntlet weapons being that you can't be disarmed... but as far as I know, there is no disarm maneuver in 4e, is there? Are there any powers that can disarm?

one.

so... I wouldn't worry about it.

I'd say just let him use the weapons he steals from enemies and let them be effective.

He's 7, and it's a decent character hook. "I will kill you and kill your friends with your weapons." No need to make him bust out the axes.

Just make them all d8/+2 and be done with it. (Unless your other players would object, but, in the end, he's seven and having fun.) Or, as above, trident is a spear, scourge is a flail, etc. Spiked gauntlet, eh, yeah, I dunno.
