Description

The jintachi is a unique weapon, in the regard that its unique blade and handle give it different traits when wielded as a one-handed or two-handed weapon. When attacking with two hands, you can attack one extra time using two hands, but taking a -5 penalty to your attack roll. While wielding with two hands, the weapon also has a 18-20 x2 critical range. Due to the nature of the blade's unique handle design, wielding the sword with two hands will also allow someone with weapon finesse to substitute their dexterity modifier for their attack roll.
