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.

The larger cousin of the Messer, this large war-sword is forged from the need to pack a lot of knife in two capable hands. Though the peasantry will tell you this is but a knife, the only thing this will be chopping is someone who keeps asking if it's a sword or not.

Due to the elaborate hilts made for properly forged Kriegsmessers, a masterwork Kriegsmesser grants a +1 parry bonus to AC to whoever wields it. This bonus increases once for every two levels of enhancement applied to the weapon.
