This is the final table of random weapons, encompassing both hand-to-hand weapons and weapons that simply do not fit into any category. If you want a really unique, foreign, or plain dumb weapon, try rolling here.

Some of these have been on Forged and Fire, though the crescent moon knife was called the deer horn knife on the program and at least one rpg supplement called them duck blades.
ReplyDeleteThe kpinga, hunga munga and similar weapons are throwing knives from Africa. I would run away from someone brandishing one.
I have no idea what the emeici is or how it is wielded. The thumb ring throws me.
I know a lot of these from Tunnels & Trolls!
ReplyDeleteThe kpinga is exclusively thrown and is very deadly due to all the blades. I THINK the crescent moon knife and the deer horn knife are the same thing. You can parry with them as well as hit, and they're always used in pairs.
The emeici is likely used in elaborate martial arts to stab, kind of like a small punch dagger. The thumb ring is I think to keep from dropping them.
Never heard of the nyepel or the scizore before!
This and your other random weapon tables are real workhorses - not overly glamourous, but very consistently useful.
