WEAPON DESCRIPTIONS
Great Hammer: Not quite a maul, but
definitely bigger than a warhammer. This weapon can be wielded with either one
or two hands.
Grean Great Sword: A double-handed
version of the Tri-Sword. It is also used primarily and designed by the Gree.
Grean Spear: The Gree designed nearly
every weapon they wield to have a representation of Gruwees on it. This is a
normal spear with a three-pointed head on top of it. The wielder could stab out
with the weapon as one would with a normal spear, or the wielder can swing the
Gree Spear and use the points to puncture his target.
Hekuta: The traditional weapon of the
orcs. The warrior Larius Korda, the only winner of both the Suian competition
and the Graplore, first designed it. He created a versatile weapon that could
be used one-handed, two-handed, and from a mount. The weapon consists of two
metal beams curved into two crescents. The two are connected at three points
along the length. The inner beam is sharpened on one side and trimmed at the
edges to points. The back crescent is sharpened to points at its ends, but not
along the length. The back crescent is wrapped in leather to provide a grip.
The weapon usually measures in length as long as two-thirds of its wielder’s
height. It may be used a single-handed weapon, a two-handed weapon, or a double
weapon. When being wielded as a two-handed weapon the Hekuta adds a +2 shield
bonus to its wielders AC. The Hekuta may be used to trip. If used to
Disarm, the wielder gets a +2 bonus to the roll.
Kovan Blade: Although similar to a
standard longsword, the Kovan Blade is filled with a heavy liquid in a small
chamber inside the blade. This liquid moves with the sword allowing it to
become heavier when swung. This does have the effect of tremendously
unbalancing the blade in the hands of anyone who is not proficient in it, giving
a –2 penalty to all attack rolls in addition to normal penalties associated with
not being proficient in an exotic weapon.
All of the “Kovan” weapons were first
designed by the weaponsmith by the same name. Kovan was a Sakor’akai and a
member of the guardian temple in Icefia. He lived from c. pre-200 until his
death during the War of Technology. He was the premiere weaponsmith of his time
and is said to have been trained by the great weaponsmith and cleric of Han~Sui,
Janoy.
Kovan Fighting Knife: This dagger is
curved, allowing the wielder to perform deadlier and different attacks than
could be performed with a normal blade. It is, however, very difficult to
master.
Kovan Great Sword: This blade is similar
to the Kovan Blade, except that it is larger. The additional penalty for
wielding a Kovan Great Sword without being proficient is –3.
Tri-Sword: The traditional weapon of the
Gree. It is a broad-bladed sword that has two spikes that grow out of both
blade edges of the sword. The top of the sword is the symbol of their deity,
Gruwees.
Tri-Spike: A shortened version of the
traditional Grean weapon, the Tri-Spike the three-points top to the Tri-Sword
with a three finger grip. It is designed for close-quarter fighting.
