Stats for Maori weapons?
There are some awesome stone age weapons in Pathfinder, but many more are left out.
Since I'm building a stone age campaign setting, I need some cool weapons to arm my players and NPCs with.
What would the stats of this thing be? Halberd that does bludgeoning damage and has the fragile condition?
And then theres this guy, how would you stat up something like this?

Re: Stats for Maori weapons?
Have you checked the Stone age weapons in Frostburn? I don't remember them off the top of my head, and I'm at work, but I recall there being two weapons similar to those you posted.
Frostburn is 3.5, but that shouldn't be much of a problem.Pointy-eared and proud.

Re: Stats for Maori weapons?
MM4 has stats for the maquahuitl, which is basically an Aztec version of the shark-tooth club. other than that, as mentioned, frostburn has some pretty great weapons with a stone age flavor in the neanderthal section, just change the flavor if you don't like the description. sandstorm and races of the wild also have some fun weapons, as does the old arms and equipment guide.

Re: Stats for Maori weapons?
The way I see it, the Terbutje is awfully close to the shark-tooth club. In fact it's described as a club with... shark teeth and such.
EDIT : I'd put the first one as a double weapon club / spear, as the bottom end looks like it could really poke your eyes out.Last edited by Zubrowka74; 2014-10-08 at 09:39 AM.

Re: Stats for Maori weapons?
I kind of want the terbutje and the shark tooth club to be separate weapons, since there are so many weapons unavailable to stone age tech.

Re: Stats for Maori weapons?
The Tewhatewha I gave halberd stats, except it's bludgeoning and doesn't have Brace.
The Shark Tooth Club I'm considering 1d6 19-20 x3, is that a terrible idea?
Also, I am debating wether to make the Terbutje 18-20 instead of 19-20, since it inflicts some absolutely terrible wounds due to the jagged blades of teeth or obsidian.
I also want people to use the Mere Club, but it has laughable stats. I'm thinking of upping it's damage to 1d6.Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.
