Switchblades
Weapon
Uncommon
Finesse, Light, Range/Melee (Variable), Specialist
A set of two shortswords that can be unfurled into a bladed whip-like arrangement. While fearsome in melee, this allows the wielder to swap into a short ranged fighting style with nary a thought. The handle also features a retraction mechanism, meaning one can return to a more traditional fighting style for close quarters combat with ease.
When retracted, Switchblades deal 1d6 slashing damage and have the Finesse and Light properties. When unfurled, they deal 1d4 piercing damage and have the Finesse, Light, and Range (10/20) properties. Switchblades can be unfurled or retracted for free once on their wielder’s turn.
| Type | Damage | Damage | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Martial Ranged | 1d6 slashing / 1d4 piercing | Other | 10/20 |
Cost: 20 gp
Weight: 2 lb.
