Chatkcha (5e Equipment)

Chatkcha Martial Ranged Weapons Weapon Cost Damage Weight Properties Chatkcha 8 gp(half for Kreen) 1d6 slashing 2 lb. Finesse, Light, Thrown(30/120), Special A Kreen throwing weapon with three sharpened ends in a triangle like shape. The Chatkcha can be made out of any material but is often made out of Dasl, an amber-like crystal made from a mixture of Kreen venom and sand. This weapon can be used as a melee weapon or thrown, acting much like a boomerang, returning back to the thrower's hand. Special: This weapon returns to the thrower's hand after it is thrown. The thrower may also try to catch this weapon in the air or on the move, your DM may requires a check for this. The DM may also impose strong wind conditions on the weapon or when using it in tight quarters. Venom and Crystal The production of Dasl is a well guarded secret among the kreen and is a very special to them. So special in fact that they almost view it as part of themselves and will not often part with it or weapons made of it. The making of Dasl is done by chewing on common sappy plants and mixing their venom with the chewed plant juice, then spiting it onto sand. However this will paralyze the kreen's venom glands any time they chew it and does not allow them to use their venomous bite, after a long rest the kreen regain it's use. The Dasl mixture stays soft for about a day and can be shaped by the maker during that time, after which it hardens. Due to Dasl's composition it must be made into smaller pieces then bound together by more wet Dasl. This gives a seamless and smooth look but takes time. The time a Dasl weapon takes to make is the weapons weight times 5 (in days). For example a Chatkcha (which weighs 2 lbs) will take 2x5=10 days to make. The properties of Dasl (high strength, but brittle) do not allow for the creation of longer weapons like swords or wider/thinner structures like armor; such items would shatter the first time they were used. Dasl is best used for short thicker blades like wide daggers, gythka heads, axe blades, arrow and spear heads, and morning star spikes. 0.00 (0 votes) Back to Main Page → 5e Homebrew → Equipment → Weapons
