Trinity is home to several unique weapons, as well as several weapons of vaguely real-world origin that are used to flesh out various cultures.
Simple Weapons
Simple Weapons Damage Weapon Cost Sm Med Crit Range Inc Weight Type Light Melee Baton 5g 1d3 1d4 x2 -- 2 lb. Bludgeoning One-Handed Melee Pole 10g 1d4 1d6 x2 -- 6 lb. Bludgeoning
Baton
- A rather short, compact staff. Similar to a club; however, this item is more finely and carefully crafted, allowing it to be used as a martial arts weapon.
Pole
- Similar in construction to a staff, but shorter, so as to be usable in one hand. A pole may be used as a martial arts weapon.
Martial Weapons
Martial Weapons Damage Weapon Cost Sm Med Crit Range Inc Weight Type Light Melee Shuko 5g 1d3 1d4 19-20/x2 -- 1 lb. Slashing One-Handed Melee Claw 20g 1d4 1d6 19-20/x2 -- 1 lb. Slashing Two-Handed Melee Lucerne Hammer1 12g 1d6 2d4 x4 -- 10 lb. Piercing 1 Reach weapon.
Claw
- A tight-fitting glove with three blade extending from the knuckles, the claw is an unwieldy but powerful weapon. A character wielding a claw gets a +4 bonus on rolls against being disarmed, and a +2 bonus on sunder attempts. The claw is a martial arts weapon.
Lucerne Hammer
- A lucerne hammer has reach; you can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can't strike adjacent foes.
- This polearm resembles a pick on a pole and is designed to puncture heavy armor.
Shuko
- A tight-fitting glove with four small blades jutting from the top of the palm, the shuko is more of a utilitarian tool than a weapon, though it serves effectively enough. A character wielding a shuko gets a +4 bonus on rolls against being disarmed, and a +4 bonus on Climb checks. The shuko is a martial arts weapon.
Exotic Weapons

Slashing 1 Reach weapon. 2 When you make an attack with this weapon, choose which type of damage you deal.
Greatspear
- A greatspear has reach; you can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can't strike adjacent foes.
- This broad-bladed spear has a long, flat blade, and is too heavy to wield properly without proficiency.
Katana
- The preferred weapon of the west, the katana is essentially a specialized bastard sword. All katanas are automatically masterwork (this is reflected in the cost, above).
Poleaxe, Heavy
- A heavy poleaxe has reach; you can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can't strike adjacent foes.
- Normally, you strike with the heavy poleaxe's head, but the spike on the end is useful against charging opponents. If you use a ready action to set a heavy poleaxe against a charge, you deal double damage if you score a hit against a charging creature.
Rug
- While the vast majority of actual rugs are constructed of normal cloths, rugs fabricated for combat use are typically made of steelcloth. Characters proficient with a rug may use a normal rug as a weapon, but such a weapon normally only deals nonlethal damage. A character actively defending herself with a rug gains half again as much benefit from doing so (if the character normally gains +4 to AC while fighting defensively, she would instead gain +6 while wielding a rug). In addition, the rug is a reach weapon, allowing the wielder to strike creatures within a 10 foot range; the rug can be used to hit adjacent opponents, as well. The rug is a martial arts weapon.
Sarrash, Halfling
- A halfling sarrash has reach; you can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can't strike adjacent foes.
- Similar to a scythe, the halfling sarrash developed by the halflings in the age of the Ronkan Empire consists of a sickle-like blade at the end of a long pole.
- Because of a sarrash's curved blade, you can also use it to make trip attacks. If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you can drop the sarrash to avoid being tripped.
Sash
- Typically constructed of lightweight steelcloth, the sash is a vicious weapon in the appropriate hands. A character proficient with a sash can use a normal cloth sash as a weapon, but such a weapon normally only deals nonlethal damage. The sash is a martial arts weapon.
Zweihandir
- With a long history of use, the zweihandir is the epitome of weaponry designed for front-line fighters. Normal humanoids must use their knee or similar appendage to brace the weapon; as such, actively wielding a zweihandir reduces the wielder's movement speeds by half, to a minimum of 5 feet.
Firearms
In addition to standard weaponry, Trinity is home to firearms. A firearm is a relatively complex piece of technological apparatus. Unlike most other weapons, they have nothing to do with physical strength: they draw power from chemical combustion or other form of propulsion.
Physical Description: Firearms vary wildly in appearance. More basic firearms are typically less ornamented but have complex firing mechanisms; more complex firearms have more technological apparatus, but these parts are usually concealed in the weapon itself.
Usage: Firearms are used just like normal weapons, though they have some special rules regarding their use.
Templates: Firearms are incredibly more versatile than most other weapons, lending themselves to modifications much easier. A trained student can make such modifications to firearms he builds. However, adding such modifications requires more resources and more materials. A firearm can have one receiver template and one feed template. Unless other templates have been applied to them, all basic firearms are considered to have the Muzzleloaded feed and Individually-Loaded receiver templates; all advanced firearms are considered to have the Breechloaded feed and Individually-Loaded receiver templates.
