Forked Spear-Sword

This short polearm features twin blades that cut like a geatsword but swung like a greataxe or can be set to receive a charge like a spear. It can also stab like a spear. Ursyn and Kaenyd rangers, especially those who use the Zweihander combat style, swear by the weapon.

Type: Martial Two-Handed Melee Weapon

Name Cost Dmg (S) Dmg (M) Critical Range Weight Type
Forked Spear-Sword
30 gp 1d10 1d12 x3
- 10 lbs. Piercing, Slashing

Special: There is what is known as a "Deluxe" version that sets up octagonal plates on the other end that can be swung like a greatclub. However unless the user posesses the Two Weapon Fighting,  she must choose which end she is using. Users with Two Weapon Fighting treat the Deluxe Forked Spear-Sword as a double weapon. The plating adds extra weight at GM's discretion.

Author's Note: Inspired by another weapon introduced by Bastion Press, the Deluxe version is my own idea. The idea is give adventurers a weapon that's almost a Swiss Army polearm that doesn't stray too far into XWP territory that there is entirely too much of lately.
