Weapon Group: Double

Pictured here: 1) kusarigama, 2) weighted spear, 3) monk's spade, 4) quarterstaff or gùn, and 5) double sword or cicada wing dāo.

A unique and finicky class, double weapons reward those students possessed of the skill and patience necessary to master them with increased combat potential and a wider field of options in battle.  Outside the stolidly reliable staff, they are looked upon as quite niche, however, and as the sole province of adventurers and other eccentrics; do not expect to see any large organizations seeking to integrate these weapons into their arsenal.

CHAIN-HAMMER
Damage: 1d6/1d6, x2
Range: 20 ft
Type: Two-handed exotic bludgeoning
Special: Double, finesse, trip
Description: This pair of hammers or other heavy weights is linked by a loose chain. While the two hammers are balanced to wield in melee together, they can also be hurled as a pair by a proficient wielder, both striking the same target as if using the Manyshot feat.  Alternately, the chain is long enough that you can throw one hammer a short distance and then pull it back; pulling the chain to retrieve the thrown hammer is a swift action. The chain-hammer’s maximum throwing range is 10 feet when used in this manner.
Cost: 34 gp
Weight: 8 lbs

DOUBLE-CHAINED KAMA
Damage: 1d6/1d6, x2
Type: Two-handed exotic slashing
Special: Double, finesse, monk, reach, trip
Description: This weapon comprises a pair of kama connected with an 8-foot length of chain. The wielder can attack as if armed with a single kama in each hand or extend the chain to make a single reach attack. By swinging the chain, the wielder can whip the kama about to disarm or trip opponents. Furthermore, if one of the weapons is dropped, the wielder can retrieve it as a free action by pulling on the chain.

Type: Two-handed exotic slashing or bludgeoning

Description: This weapon has a single kama or sickle held in the off hand, attached by 10 feet of fine chain to a weighted metal ball. The sickle can be used to make trip attacks, jabs, and blocks, while the ball is whipped around at high speeds and then smashed into the opponent, or used to tangle an opponent’s sword or spear, allowing the wielder to then attack with the sickle.
