Improvised Weapons Qualities


Rules Questions


In the Core Rulebook the rules on Improvised Weapons are specified as being: "...an improvised weapon in combat is considered to be non-proficient with it and takes a –4 penalty on attack rolls made with that object. To determine the size category and appropriate damage for an improvised weapon, compare its relative size and damage potential to the weapon list to find a reasonable match. An improvised weapon scores a threat on a natural roll of 20 and deals double damage on a critical hit. An improvised thrown weapon has a range increment of 10 feet."

Can improvised weapons have other qualities depending on the object?
eg:
* A particularly long improvised item, such as a ladder, having reach
* An item with a hook or curved area having trip
* An item that is flexible or has prongs having disarm
etc.

I don't see why not. I would probably allow something like that if you could realistically explain it.
