Dwarven Cleaver
A Dwarven Cleaver is similar in length to a shortsword except that it has a much wider and heavier blade. These weapons look crude but are nonetheless very effective. In fact, the irregularity of the blade is what makes this weapon so devastating. Their cunningly designed hooks and barbs inflict grievous wounds. Anyone surviving a blow from such a weapon will have a definite and gruesome scar. Due to their unique balance however, dwarven cleavers are considered exotic weapons. No two dwarven cleavers ever look the same, each smith having his own opinion of how to inflict the maximum damage.
Ogre Knuckles
Ogre Knuckles are heavy bands of steel that loop around the knuckles and are used for punching. No weapon can be held while wearing ogre knuckles. Ogre knuckles are aptly named, their tremendous weight makes almost any blows feel like an ogres punch. Most ogre knuckles are studded or spiked to inflict greater damage. These weapons inflict normal damage. A monk may not use any special class abilities while wearing ogre knuckles. In addition, any character that does not have at least 15 strength, suffers a -2 hit penalty.
Sword, Double-bladed
These heavy swords are similar in size to a bastard sword. They have two blades of equal size that extend parallel to each other from the grip. The double blade design makes this weapon extremely effective in combat. A medium size creature must use two hand to effectively wield this weapon. Large creatures may use these devastating blades in one hand.
