1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.
A short staff or club with two hooked ends not unlike a claw, the weapon is either used as a club or to hook and drag creatures and objects. It may be used as a martial weapon without penalty, but exotic users unlock the following aspects as Weapon Arts.
- Grasping Claw: Your hand is considered free for the purposes of climbing when wielding a bicrook. Masterwork weapons count as a masterwork climb tool, granting a +2 circumstance bonus. You can also use the claw to slide down angled ropes or other things you could reasonably preform with a crook.
- Immobilizing Claw: Whenever you score a critical threat, or if you take a -2 penalty on attack rolls and successfully hit, you may make a grapple check. If successful, you can immobilize your opponent, and they are unable to move from that position (movement speed of 0 ft) unless you move. Treat it as forcing movement when in a grapple. Neither of you are considered grappled, and you cannot use your bicrook while immobilizing a target. A creature can choose to rip free instead of winning a grapple check, but doing so deals critical damage without any ability bonus from Strength. You cannot use Reposition and Immobilizing Claw at the same time.
- Reposition: Whenever you score a critical threat, or if you take a -2 penalty on attack rolls and successfully hit, you may make an opposed Strength check (size bonuses apply). If successful, you can reposition your opponent to any other square you threaten. This forced movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. You cannot use Reposition and Immobilizing Claw at the same time.
Regardless of proficiency, the bicrook offers a you get a +2 bonus on opposed attack rolls made to disarm an opponent (including the roll to avoid being disarmed if such an attempt fails), and is a trip weapon. If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you can drop the bicrook to avoid being tripped.
