[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 4019667, member: 13966"] Kawanaga and Kusari-Gama. Both are in Oriental Adventures, and the Kusari-Gama is in the Dungeon Master's Guide as well, as an example of an Asian weapon. Though the DMG version is a simplified version and seems to only be useable as a slashing weapon. The OA version describes use of the weighted end of the chain as a bludgeoning weapon, and is reflected in the stats. Both are Exotic weapons. They do slashing or bludgeoning with each attack, not slashing and bludgeoning at the same time. There's also the Gyrspike, a ridiculous combination longsword+flail exotic weapon found in Sword & Fist and the Arms & Equipment Guide. Like the aforementioned weapons, it does either damage type, depending on which end is used, not both damage types at once. And as far as realism goes, it would be impossible not to nail yourself in the 'nads when using the Gyrspike if it were a real weapon, which it thankfully [I]is not[/I]. [/QUOTE]
