    •   Special Maneuvers
  • Create an Opening - Bypass your target's defenses as a Bonus Action and reduce their Evasion (AC) by your Proficiency Bonus + Dexterity Modifier until the start of your next turn, the target must make a Dexterity Saving Throw against a DC equal to 8 + Your Proficiency Bonus + Strength or Dexterity Modifier or have their Evasion (AC) reduced. Once you have used this maneuver, you cannot use it again until after your next turn.
  • Exploit the Opening - If you have used the 'Create an Opening' maneuver on this turn and the target failed their save, you may use this maneuver to give yourself Advantage and AP IV for a single attack.
  • Parry - When an opponent attempts to attack you in Melee range, you may use this weapon if it is in your main hand or offhand to attempt to intercept the attack and use your Reaction. Make an attack roll against the target, if your attack roll beats theirs, you parry the attack and deflect the blow.
  • Riposte - On successful parry, you may attempt to attack the target that attacked you by using your main hand or offhand.
    •   Special Properties
  • Armor Piercing II
  • Finesse

  • Guard Advantage - While a shield is in your offhand, you gain advantage on your parry attack rolls. Additionally, after making an attack with the Khopesh, you may make a 1d8 AP II Bludgeoning attack with the shield as a Bonus Action and add your Strength modifier to the damage roll. This shield bash attack deals double the rolled damage to Poise.
  • Hemhorraging - Targets struck by this weapon's slashing attacks must make a Constitution saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + Proficiency Bonus + Your Strength or Dexterity Modifier or take 1d8 Bleed damage

    •   Weight: 4   Handling: 1-handed

    A curved one-handed shortsword from the ancient Khadisar empire which has a large singular cutting edge, often inlaid with geometric patterns. Its weight allows it to cut deep but it does not fare well against heavily armored opponents. Can also be used as a gathering tool where needed. Its main difference from other shortswords is its intended use with a shield in the offhand.
