Home Brew game (non-PFS) question:
As a medium creature, can I wield a Tiny Flying Blade, for it to qualify as a Light One-Handed Weapon?
Side Question: How do I handle the transition from Flying Blade to Short Sword as he does in the video game, without changing weapons?
Best I can think of, is some sort of custom magic item...perhaps winch-type bracers to anchor the chains to? Have the crafting reliant upon Teleport Object & add some sort of weapon cord effect vs. disarm?
Question one: Yes. BUT... between the built in penalty for the awkward weapon and the size difference penalty you will be looking at a whopping -6 on all your attack rolls...
Also I don't know how you could transition it into the short sword form...
My recommendation:
Use a double-chained kama instead (with the assumption the blades look more like swords than the traditional kama) and using the Lunge feat.
That way you have your two blades on chains that can be used at reach...
but then they are also connected together, but at least you don't get that massive penalty :)
No. Catch-Off Guard isn't meant to be a univseral proficiency feat.
Improvised Weapons
Sometimes objects not crafted to be weapons nonetheless see use in combat. Because such objects are not designed for this use, any creature that uses an improvised weapon in combat is considered to be nonproficient with it and takes a –4 penalty on attack rolls made with that object.
A tiny flying blade has been crafted to be a weapon and are designed to be be used as a weapon. Therefore it does not fall under the purview of improvised weapons.
