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 dussack is a sword with a single-edged heavy blade, usually slightly curved, and features a basket-hilted sword that counterbalance the weapons weight and protect the wielder's hand. Weapon Finesse feat can be applied to a dussack, even though this sword is not a light weapon. You can also wield a dussack in two hands to apply 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus to damage rolls.

The war version of the dussack is the martial weapon called malchus (See Aramir's "Malchus"), which allows you to apply 1½ times your Strength bonus to damage when being wielded it in two hands, but doesn't have Finesse.

The dussack can be used as a malchus by a wielder without the Exotic Weapon Proficiency.

Characters proficient with the dussack may treat it as a malchus for purposes of any of the following feats: Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Specialization, Improved Critical, Weapon Focus, and Weapon Specialization.
