Eastern Simple and Martial Weapons


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

Eastern weapons in the simple and martial categories are included in simple and martial weapons for classes that are proficient in them, right?

Just want to double check.

Scarab Sages

Yes. The only weapon categories are Simple, Martial, and Exotic. If you are proficient in all martial weapons then you can use a sansetsukon as well as a heavy flail.

This, like everything, can be changed by GM Fiat, but that is house rules territory.


That depends on your campaign. If you are not running an Eastern-flavored campaign you would probably want them all considered Exotic.

Right, because sticks and knives get a lot more complicated to use if you live far enough away from the manufacturer.

That does mean the instruction manual is probably in some foreign language.

Well, they already do make you pay a feat to use a Japanese sickle...

I'm almost certain that anyone who doesn't innately understand "Put pointy end in bad guy" doesn't belong running around the countryside, nevertheless fighting dragons and liches and beholders.

You mean "never mind" or possibly "let alone".
