TRIDENT

Weight: ~3 kg

Rank(s): 1st and 2nd row

A trident is a long pole measuring four to eight feet with a metal, triple-bladed fork on one end. It is not used as a weapon by professional armies, but has seen some limited use from peasant guerrillas. The trident is normally a tool used for fishing, with some limited uses as an agricultural or hunting tool. It is a two-handed weapon.

Several aquatic races, such as locathah, merfolk, mermen, sahuagin, and tritons, use tridents. They realize the versatility of the trident, since it is effective as both a fishing tool and a weapon.

Some skill(s) usable with the weapon:

Battlecry, Impale, Lure, Mangle and Polearms.
