Khopesh
Weapon
Common
Versatile, Disarming
A weapon with a distinctive curved, single-edged blade and a hooked tip, the khopesh is designed for both powerful slashes and for disarming or hooking an opponent’s weapon or shield. Its unique shape allows for precision and versatility, making it a favored weapon in ancient and desert-based cultures, where warriors relied on its ability to control the battlefield.
Disarming. When you hit a creature with this weapon, you can attempt to disarm them instead of dealing damage. Make an attack roll contested by the target’s Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. If you win the roll, the target drops one held item of your choice.
When using a khopesh for this action, you gain a +1 bonus to the attack roll due to its hooked design. After successfully disarming a creature, you can immediately use a free action to kick or sweep the dropped item 5 feet away from the target.
If the target is holding the item with two or more hands, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. If the target is larger than you, it has advantage on its ability check; if it is smaller, it has disadvantage.
