PoorHobo 11-30-06, 08:28 PM	Is their one? If not is their a way to get one? Perferably without making yourself large? I know you could always dual weild bastard swords, and take the appropriate feats but I was wondering about a large or exotic (or exotic large) d10 double weapon. Perhaps I need to be a certain class or feat? Custom items will be appreciated and admired but unused as the DM does not allow custom weapons, Thanks!

PoorHobo 11-30-06, 09:05 PM	oohh Delicious! Uhh.. What book is it in?
Cael 11-30-06, 09:07 PM	oohh Delicious! Uhh.. What book is it in? Beats me. I saw it once on one of the Miniatures cards...
enygmatic_me 11-30-06, 09:15 PM	the XPH and it is 1d10/1d10.
Cael 11-30-06, 09:16 PM	the XPH and it is 1d10/1d10. They changed it from the card then... Thank the Gods.
RedPersian 11-30-06, 09:27 PM	A to have a 1d10/1d10 double weapon you need to beconsidered large. Either by racial ability or monkey grip feat comboed with oversided weapon fighting. So that makes you weild a large version of a double weapon. Gythkas are 1d8/1d8 exotic for medium or 2d6/2d6 for large and are in either savage species or the third monster manual.
runestar 11-30-06, 09:38 PM	Gythkas are 1d8/1d8 exotic for medium or 2d6/2d6 for large and are in either savage species or the third monster manual. They are 1d10 double weapons, but crit only on a natural 20 for *2 damage. So its quite balanced, IMO. XPH paging earth to call RedPersian...;)
RavenDrake 11-30-06, 11:03 PM	They were 2d6/2d6 in 3.0 (check Monster Manual II, they're racially favoured weapons of the Thri-Keen who can weild two at a time) but they were downgraded in the XPH. Still, though, even with 20/x2 crit 1d10 damage is not bad for a double weapon.
PoorHobo 12-01-06, 12:49 AM	Its okay I don't roll crits anyways... I get them on me but Its a no go on rolling them. XPH after work! I suspect then I would have to take the full TWF tree as well as monkey grip in order to use a large on of these? Thanks guys!
Longarms 12-01-06, 01:06 AM	"Its okay I don't roll crits anyways... I get them on me but Its a no go on rolling them. XPH after work!" This may be obvious, but crits are more likely to be successful when you have an easier time hitting your opponent. So if you are a rogue with less bab that could explain why you never crit. Take the extreme example of an opponent that you just hit with a 20. To crit with that weapon, you need to roll 20 followed by another 20. That is a 1 in 400 chance to crit!!! Compare to the extreme example of an opponent that you just hit with a 2. You still need a 20 to hit, but now you only need a 1 or a 2 on your confirmation roll. That is slightly worse than a 1 in 20 chance to crit :)
Necromas 12-01-06, 08:30 AM	Now where's the 2d6 20/x2 exotic one handed weapon to balance this out?
risner 12-01-06, 03:58 PM	I know you could always dual weild bastard swords, and take the appropriate feats but I was wondering about a large or exotic (or exotic large) d10 double weapon. Perhaps I need to be a certain class or feat? I don't believe you can monkey grip a double weapon's offhand part. 1d10/1d10 Exotic Two Handed Double Weapon 20x2 approx 100% so may be ok. The fact that EPH p14 has it called Cythka is more. 60 gp 1d10/1d10 20x2 25lb Slashing
Manus 12-01-06, 04:11 PM	Now where's the 2d6 20/x2 exotic one handed weapon to balance this out? there's some kind of barbed chain or something in savage species, (I don't recall the exact name) that was 2d6 damage on a one handed weapon. (if my memory is accurate) 3.0 material though
Longarms 12-01-06, 04:19 PM	"Now where's the 2d6 20/x2 exotic one handed weapon to balance this out?" Is there even a 2d4 one handed weapon anywhere?
tarkin 12-01-06, 05:07 PM	2d4 one handed is the flindbar from MMIII Also, the WarMace is a 1d12 (not quite 2d6, but close) in Complete Warrior
draconic_swine 12-01-06, 11:33 PM	Doesn't the warmace have a -1 penalty to attack? Or is it that you can only attack once per round? Or am I thinking of another weapon? At any rate, an exotic weapon dealing 2d6 x2 damage in one hand it perfectly balanced, and wouldn't require anything extra (e.g., the -1 attack penalty, which I think is pretty dumb).
enygmatic_me 12-01-06, 11:56 PM	Warmace gives a minus to AC in rounds you use it to attack as it is "hard to recover" from swinging it.
Ryusage 12-02-06, 12:01 PM	To the OP... Thanks alot... In a couple of days somebody is going to be inspired by this thread and make a double-katana :weep: :weep: :weep:

Once per round is the Sugolin or something like that from Frostburn. You can get a feat to use it like a normal weapon, though...
