A bizarre weapon, the battle shears are a giant pair of scissors suitable for actual combat.  As a one-handed weapon it is used much like a longsword, able to 1d8 (for medium creatures) and piercing or slashing damage.  However, if used in two-hands you can choose a different stance with a handle in each hand.  This use employs the scissor aspect (slashing only) but deals 2d8 damage instead of 1d8.

As a two-handed weapon, you can make grapple attempts (provoking as normal) with the weapon in hand, and gaining a +4 bonus on the touch attack.  If you grapple with the battle shears you deal the battle shear damage every time you make a successful grapple check.  In addition you can deal critical hit damage against any flexible rope-like object as a standard action.

If you have the appropriate [[SRD:Exotic Weapon Proficiency|Exotic Weapon Proficiency]] feat, on a confirmed natural 20 you can roll one more time to confirm.  If you confirm again, you remove a limb of your choice (such as arms or legs, but not the head), dealing 1d4 [[Con]] damage and applying appropriate penalties for the lost limb.  If the second confirmation was a natural 20, you can choose to remove the head instead.
