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.

They didn't enjoy her performance for some reason.

The instrumental razorbow is the other half of many a stringed instrument such as violins or bass, and functions in tandem with such instruments as well. However the strings have been specially made from durable and sharp threads which can cut flesh and bone as easily as any blade. With a re-enforced backing, those with instrumental razorbows can play stringed instruments and attack within the same motion, allowing bards to play and enter melee at the same time. However, standard instruments would be sliced in half with this, and so any stringed instrument must be of masterwork quality with a 25 gp surcharge (that is, 125 gp total).

Those with level in bard and at least Dex 13 may treat the instrumental razorbow as a martial weapon, though this does not immediately grant them proficiency if they cannot use martial weapons.
