[D&D 5e Homebrew] Equipment: Specialist Daggers
The dagger is one of the oldest and most versatile weapons used by humanoids. This article aims to increase the diversity of daggers and knives in D&D by adding some new ‘specialist daggers’ to the weapons table. All of these are simple melee weapons, and anyone who is proficient with daggers is proficient with these as well. They all count as monk weapons.
Simple Melee Weapons Cost Damage Weight Properties —————————————————————————————————- Bowie Knife 10 gp 1d4 P or S 2 lb. Finesse, light, thrown (20/60) Kukri 25 gp 1d4 S 1 lb. Finesse, light, vicious Main Gauche 20 gp 1 P 1 lb. Finesse, light, parry Misericorde 4 gp 1d4 P 2 lb. Coup de grâce, finesse, thrown (20/60) Shiv 1 cp 1d4 P ½ lb. Finesse, light, special Switchblade 5 gp 1d4 P 1 lb. Collapsible, finesse, light Throwing Knife 5 gp 1d4 P 1 lb. Finesse, light, thrown (40/120)
*P = Piercing, S = Slashing
Weapon Descriptions
Bowie Knife. This large, broad knife is popular among explorers and frontiersmen. It is equally good at stabbing and hacking.
Kukri. The unusual forward curve of a kukri’s blade enables it to slash much deeper and more effectively than other types of knife. Unarmored targets are particularly vulnerable to this weapon.
Main Gauche. Also known as sword-breakers, a main gauche is intended to be wielded in the off hand to parry incoming blows.
Misericorde. This long, thin dagger is designed to be rammed through small gaps in the armor of targets that can’t defend themselves.
Shiv. Shivs can be improvised from all sorts of materials. They are not weapons of war, but are commonly used by street thugs and prisoners.
Switchblade. A switchblade can be retracted into its handle for easy storage and concealment. They are therefore more expensive to make and not effective when thrown.
[The Rogue doth protest: switchblades can be thrown just fine,
unlike many standard daggers with long quillons and frills, or curved blades, or heavy hilts.]
Throwing Knife. Conversely, a throwing knife is optimized for ballistic performance. Aerodynamically shaped and carefully weighted, they can be thrown a considerable distance without compromising on accuracy.
Weapon Properties
Many weapons have special properties related to their use, as shown in the Weapons table.
- Collapsible. This weapon has hollowed out portions, usually in the handle, allowing you to collapse it in on itself for ease of storage and concealment. While stowed, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to conceal this weapon.
- Coup de Grâce. This weapon is designed for finishing off wounded targets. If you hit an incapacitated target with a melee attack using this weapon, it is a critical hit.
- Parry. While wielding this weapon and not wielding a shield, you gain a +1 to your AC against melee attacks. You can only gain the benefit of one weapon with this property at a time.
- Shiv. Shivs are improvised daggers, made from whatever is at hand. If you have a sharp object in your possession, you can turn it into a shiv as an action. However, shivs are fragile and will not withstand the rigours of combat for long. If you make an attack roll with a shiv but miss the target’s AC by 5 or more, the shiv breaks and cannot be used again.
- Vicious. Creatures who are not wearing manufactured armor or have a natural AC of less than 18 take an additional 2 points of piercing damage from this weapon.

Bregol Valon 7 by David DelaGardelle Via Flickr: éala éarendel engla beorhtast / ofer middangeard monnum sended "Hail Eärendil, brightest of angels / sent over Middle-earth to men." Bregol Valon (literally meaning "Fierce Angelic-Guardian" in Tolkien's Elvish Quenya language) was crafted and creatively-conceived to life by David DelaGardelle, swordsmith of Cedarlore Forge. The blade was shaped by David from a billet of beautiful "feathered" damascus steel, made by the incredibly talented father and son team at HHH knives. The sword was crafted by David to be swift, balanced to near weightlessness, agile, and to be violently fierce in the grip of its wielder, Bregol Valon has a polished elk antler grip, and hand engraved bronze fittings. The ornamentation weaving and writhing on the bronze of the guard and pommel reflect the ancient and powerful culture of Tolkien's Elves, that rode on the seas towards the "Undying Land". Stats: Steel type: 1080 and 15n20 Guard and Pommel: Silicon Bronze Grip: 100+ year old elk antler OAL: 31 1/2" Blade length: 22" Blade width widest point: 2" Grip length: 6" www.facebook.com/CedarloreForge cedarloreforge.com/
Oräddbror - the fearless brother 3 by David DelaGardelle Via Flickr: "Your deeds are famous, so stay resolute, my lord, defend your life now with the whole of your strength. I shall stand by you" - Wiglaf the warrior, in the poem Beowulf. (lines 2666-68) Oräddbror is variation of a Behmer type 1 and type 6 early Scandinavian spatha. Loosely inspired by swords right on the cusp of evolving between two distinct cultures, this type of Scandinavian Spatha took lead from some of the classical Roman hilts and the early migration period "Germanic" hilts. Hand forged out of composite twist pattern welded steel, the swords blade is deadly keen and extremely light-weight. The primarily organic hilt is crafted from exotic Brazilian blackwood with matching scabbard, while the grip is carved from antique elk antler from Sweden. Both the hilt and scabbard are capped with hand engraved brass fittings that feature early Scandinavian ornamentation. A swift, stealthy, and trustworthy friend, Oräddbror is a sword forged with deep spirit and life, ready to aid at the warriors side in defense of his Lord in times of great need. Stats: OAL: 35 1/2" Blade length: 27 1/4th" Blade width: 1 5/8ths' Point of balance: 4 1/4th" from the guard Steel: 1075 and L6 Hilt and Scabbard wood: Brazilian Blackwood Grip: Antique elk antler Fittings: Engraved bronze cedarloreforge.com/

Thorondún 7 by David DelaGardelle Via Flickr: Thorondún, the sword of Glorfindel (also called 'Soronúme' in ancient Sindarin) means Eagle of the Western Sun. Glorfindel was a mighty Elf-Lord of Gondolin, who lived during the Elder Days of the First Age in Arda. He was the Chief of the House of the Golden Flower, and was also one of Turgon's most trusted captains and the fiercest of warriors. Glorfindel’s power and strength in battle is shrouded in mystery. And even less is known about his mighty sword Thorondún, which he used to slay the Balrog during The Fall of Gondolin, in which he also was slain. Whether the sword was forged in Valinor or in Middle Earth remains a mystery. But what is known is that it was buried with him by the great eagle Thorondor, who lifted him up from the abyss. A fitting honor to him and his blade, since the sword was forged to represent the strength of the great Western Eagles. On the blade is engraved the name of the sword in Tengwar writing, on the other side is the emblem of the House of the Golden Flower, both amidst engraved swirling ivy patterns. On the grip and scabbard are carved similar motifs, as well as the phrase “the Awakened One”, which foreshadows Glorfindel’s conquering of death and inevitable return to Middle Earth in order to fight the shadow that rises in the east during the Third Age. - This was an incredibly enjoyable and rewarding sword for myself (David DelaGardelle) to forge to life for my friend and fellow artist; Justin Gerard. Justin started an incredible series of Silmarillion inspired paintings, and his rendition of Glorfindel fighting the Balrog was one of the most striking. This blade was crafted as a wedding-gift to him, from both myself and his good friend and and fellow-artist Cory Godbey. It is the physical representation of years spent being inspired by his art, and the both of us equally drawing inspiration from the sanctified imagination of Professor J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings. cedarloreforge.com/ www.facebook.com/CedarloreForge

Telpënár 1 by David DelaGardelle Via Flickr: “And over Middle-Earth he passed and heard at last the weeping sore of women and of elven-maids in Elder Days, in years of yore. But on him mighty doom was laid, till Moon should fade, an orbed star to pass, and tarry never more on Hither Shores where Mortals are; or ever still a herald on an errand that should never rest to bear his shining lamp afar, to Flammifer of Westernesse.” - J.R.R. Tolkien last lines from his poem “Eärendil” Telpënár, literal meaning “Silver Fire” in Tolkien’s “Quenya” language, is a High-Elven leaf-bladed longsword crafted by myself, David DelaGardelle. I forged and ground the blade out of a piece of “feather” pattern-welded steel that came from my friends at HHH knives, talented smiths who produce near mythic-looking “damascus” patterns in steel. A long and keen, balanced and swift blade, it was carefully crafted to evoke the dark and brooding feel of Tolkien’s noble “First Age” Elves, as well as being inspired by some historically rooted myths about Elves from Irish folklore. With carvings that tell stories of half moon music, and wind from the North, with seedlings sprouting in the good earths soil. This sword is a deadly defender in the hands of its owner, and it speaks just as loudly on the battlefield as any Elven king would to his men in the face of doom. Stats: OAL: 40” Blade Length: 30” Blade Width: 1 and 3/4” Balance Point: Exactly 2” from Guard Steel: 1075 L6 Grip and Scabbard wood: Ebonized Walnut Guard Pommel and Scabbard Chape: Antiqued & Carved Steel Grip Rings and Scabbard Bridge/Bead: Cast Silver
