Maralchion (3.5e Equipment)



A maralchion look like an oversized falchion mixed with an exotic saber. It blade is extremely sharp, but the weapon itself is very long and heavy, making it hard to wield. A maralchion is unhandy making it unable to attacks of opportunity. However great dexterity benefit a maralchion greatly making it a finessable weapon, additionally it wearer may add it dexterity bonus on damage alongside her strength bonus.

Finally as a full-round action a maralchion can be used to perform a special maneuver, a great slash. The blade weight is brought down directly on a single target with a great vertical slash. As part of the maneuver make a single attack, if this attack hit it deal triple weapon damage (9d4 instead of 3d4, and no other damage is increased such as that from Strength) and the targeted creature must make a fortitude save or be staggered until the end of it next turn. A critical hit on a great slash does not stack with the triple damage, whichever is greater overlap.

All save DC associated with this weapon are: DC 10 +1/2 Bab + user's dexterity modifier.
