Talwar 25 gp 1d6 slashing 2 lb. Dire, finesse, light

This single-edged saber hails from the Indian subcontinent, and has an exaggerated curve like other weapons within the saber family. Its distinguishing feature is being forged completely out of metal, hilt included. Ceremonial talwars that are studded with innumerable riches are a popular display of wealth among nobles and royals.

Its cramped design makes trying to use it like a normal saber uncomfortable and ineffective, thus making users of the talwar favor chopping or slicing attacks over simple stabs or cuts.

Dire. If you are proficient with a dire weapon, you add your proficiency bonus to damage rolls instead of attack rolls.
