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.


With its lenght of around 10 feet, The nezak (also called xyston, expecially when featured with a spear-tip that acts partly as a counterweight and also serves as a backup with 1d8x3 damage in case the xyston was broken in action) is a bigger version of the standard cavalry lance and it is typically wielded by professional mounted lancers from the great plains and steppes. A nezak deals double damage when used as part of a charge attack from horseback. It has long reach, so you can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can’t use it against an adjacent foe.

For those with the Exotic Weapons Proficiency feat, the nezak allows a hand-and-a-half use: it can also be wielded ono-handed from horseback without penalty, but only two-handed without penalty when the wielder is dismounted.

Those without Exotic Weapons Proficiency feat can use a nezak two-handed without penalties as a martial weapon, either mounted and dismounted.
