Lajatang (3.5e Equipment)



A lajatang is a rare and unusual double weapon found only in the hands of martial artists skilled in its use. It consists of a three to five foot shaft with a crescent blade fitted at each end. Most lajatangs have barbs sticking out from the edges to maximize effectiveness. It is used in the same fashion as a two-headed halberd, by impacting the enemy and rake his body for extensive wounds. The lajatang may be considered a cousin of the more traditional wooden quarterstaff.

Special: A lajatang can be used to make trip attacks. If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you can drop the lajatang to avoid being tripped.
