Weapons

These weapons will typically only be available from
specialist weaponsmiths or disreputable merchants.

Melee Weapons

Dire flail. This double weapon has a 3-foot haft with
a chain and flail-head at each end; the weapon allows
you to use a bonus action to make an extra melee
weapon attack with one of the flail heads when
taking the Attack action. You don’t add your ability
modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless
that modifier is negative.

Dwarven urgrosh. The dwarven urgrosh is a heavy
battleaxe with a spear-pointed haft. You make a
melee weapon attack using an Attack action with the
weapon’s axe blade for 1d8 slashing damage, and
then use a bonus action to make second attack with
the spear point for an additional 1d6 piercing
damage. You don’t add your ability modifier to the
damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is
negative.

Dwarven waraxe. This is a heavier version of the
battleaxe, and is favored among dwarves. If you are
not a dwarf, you must have a Strength score of at
least 13 to wield the waraxe with one hand.

Great hammer. A great hammer is similar to a maul,
but is a dual headed warhammer with an extended
handle, intended for two-handed use. It is a favored
weapon of dwarves and clerics.

Heavy flail. This is a heavier version of the normal
flail, and it must be wielded with two-hands.

Man catcher. A man catcher consists of a long pole
with a contraption on the end that is designed to
capture and restrain its victim. A Large or smaller
creature hit with a man catcher is restrained until it
escapes or is released. The victim can use a bonus
action to make a DC 15 Dexterity or Strength saving
throw each round. On a success, they escape.

Nunchaku. Nunchaku consist of two short pieces of
wood or metal connected to each other by a short
rope or chain.

don’t add your ability modifier to the damage of the
bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative.

Parrying dagger. A parrying dagger is like a normal
dagger, except it has two protrusions on either side
of the blade for parrying an attack. It is typically
wielded in the off-hand, in conjunction with another
weapon in the dominant hand. When you wield a
parrying dagger, you may use your reaction to
attempt to fend off one successful hit made against
you with a melee weapon. The attacker must contest
its Dexterity or Strength check (whichever was used
to make the attack) against your Dexterity or
Strength check (your choice). If the attacker wins the
weapon does its damage as normal. If you win or the
contest is a tie, the attack is parried and you take no
damage.

Sai. The sai is a martial weapon the size of a dagger,
which is usually wielded by a monk. The weapon has
a short, rounded blade that ends in a sharpened
point with two shorter prongs curving off the hilt.

A monk wielding a sai can use a reaction to make a
Dexterity saving throw when hit with a melee
weapon attack. The saving throw DC is 15 + the
attacker’s Dexterity modifier. On a success, you take
no damage from the attack, and catch the weapon
between the sai’s main blade and one of its prongs;
as part of the same reaction, you can force the
attacker to make a Strength saving throw. The DC of
the saving throw is 15 + your Dexterity modifier. On
a failed save, the attacker drops the weapon. If you
fail the original Dexterity saving throw, the sai does
not catch the attacker’s weapon, which hits and deals
damage normally.

knock a victim unconscious. When an attacker
