Scimitar, Two-Bladed

This weapon looks as two scimitars joined at the handle, with curved blades pointing in the same direction. The handle is long enough for the weapon to be wielded with either one or two hands.

After the invention of two-bladed swords and axes, sooner or later a weaponsmith was bound to come up with the idea of two-bladed scimitars. So far dozens of blacksmiths the world over have attempted to take credit for the design; Ambricus is not foolish enough to think he can get away with that credit, so he does not try. However, he knows the design occurred to him by itself, having never seen another two-bladed scimitar in his life. The likeliest hypothesis is obviously that two-bladed scimitars generated in some harsh desert environment, where scimitars and similar weapons are more common and creative ways to kill are a daily need.

A two-bladed scimitar is a double weapon; a character may use it as if fighting with two weapons, though doing so incurs all the normal attack penalties associated with fighting with two weapons, just as if the character was wielding a one-handed weapon and a light weapon. A character wielding a two-bladed scimitar in one hand cannot use it as a double weapon; only one end of the weapon can be used in any given round. Other than this, the weapon functions exactly as a normal Scimitar.
