Sang Kauw (3.5e Equipment)

The sang kauw is an interesting weapon usually found in the hands of monks. It comes in two forms, both sharing the same wooden shaft and metal ends. The shaft is generally 3-4 feet long with a 6 inch metal spike at each end. The midsection is where the versions vary. The first version has a metal shield with a blade coming out of the front, while the other has a crescent shaped blade acting as the hand guard. It is a very versatile weapon, protecting the wielder and allowing them to strike with the ends or center.

Because of its design, the sang kauw grants an additional +1 shield bonus to AC. You may use the sang kauw as a double weapon, which incurs all the standard penalties. You do not gain the sang kauw's shield bonus to AC when you use it as a double weapon.
