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.


This weapon is painful to merely look at, much less imagining the dedication, practice and sheer Dexterity needed to use it properly. A combination of the Gunchuck and Bladed Nunchuck, the Bladed Gunchuck is essentially two pistols with longer, thicker barrels, attached at the handle by a chain. This chain is ran through a slot in the handle of both pistols, and is attached to the triggers of both guns, causing the thing to fire when swung at a certain velocity. On the underside of each barrel is a kama blade, with a small guard to keep the hand from slipping onto the blade when grabbing the pistol by the barrel to wield the thing. This counts as both a Gunchuck and Bladed Nunchaku for all intents except proficiency, having all the special abilities of both (Swift Bang, Boomstick, Quick Fingers, Dipping Shrike, Wind Through The Thistles, and Weaving Cobra Strike).

A Bladed Gunchuck is a double weapon, and can be used in two hands to fight as if with two weapons, each dealing 2d4 piercing and slashing damage, with a x3 critical multiplier. Each pistol can also be fired at range, using cartridges of 20 Bullets for ammunition and dealing 1d8 piercing damage, with a range increment of 15ft and a 20/x3 critical profile. Reloading a Bladed Gunchuck is a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

Becoming proficient with Bladed Gunchucks requires you to also be proficient with Gunchucks and Bladed Nunchucks. You can become proficient with Bladed Gunchucks only if your Dexterity is 16 or higher, but if your Dexterity is less than 19, you cannot use the weapon's special abilities, you take a -1 penalty on attack and damage rolls, and if you roll a 1 on your attack roll with a Bladed Gunchuck, you hit yourself with the attack instead. Unlike Bladed Nunchaku, Bladed Gunchucks count as special Monk weapons, and can thus be used as part of a Flurry Of Blows.

In addition to the other abilities, a user with a Dexterity of 19 or higher who is proficient with Bladed Gunchucks gains access to the follow benefits.

  • Lead Through The Peasants: When you use Wind Through The Thistles, you can choose to attack each target within the first range increment of your Bladed Gunchucks once during the action, by rolling attack and damage once and applying it to each target within range. You also automatically apply your Boomstick damage to the damage dealt by Wind Through The Thistles.
  • Face, Meet Dirt: You can use Dipping Shrike as an attack action once per round per Bladed Gunchuck you're wielding, and if you use Boomstick on a Dipping Shrike attack, you may choose to deal no extra damage with Boomstick, instead adding the additional damage as a bonus to your Trip attempt.
