New Weapon Sketch(es)

That's one handy weapon! Long range bludgeoning damage as well as tripping and disarming. Plus close range piercing/bludgeoning if you punch someone with the guard, or slashing, disarming and tripping with the kama! Awesometastic!

Glad you like it. Aren't there stats for a kusari-gama in OA?

There are stats somewhere, but I'm not too sure offhand...

I would question the 'u' atop the blade. Running parrallel with the blade, for it to 'catch' an incoming attack one would have to have it aligned almost perfectly to avoid the blow skipping down eitherside to slash your hand/forearm. I would imagine that one would parry using the haft or use the hooked kama blade to snag & snake round the opponents weapon. Or the chain - that'd probably be better still.

A slight innovation might be to add a downward facing hook behind the blade to catch a swordblade.

Since posting this image I have received confirmation that the brass strip does indeed "catch" the edge of an incoming blade. Apparently it is more common on fighting knives than I was aware. Mostly you would have to thrust the weapon towards the incoming edge and the brass does the rest of the work for you. Of course you might have to replace the brass over time. But you would be alive to complain about it...
 

Gaff Spear...

All steel with a nut at the pommel for disassembly. I see these being used in pairs.
