- | **Tiger’s claws**: Also called bagh nakh, this rare weapon is like a set of brass knuckles with spikes. A series of rings with spikes fit over the bearer’s fingers (thumb excluded).

It is used primarily by slayers, who tip the spikes with poison. | + | **Tiger’s claws**: Also called bagh nakh, this rare weapon is like a light-weight |
- | **Tufenk**: Little more than a long blowpipe, the tufenk is used to project Greek fire across a short distance. (To Zakharans, Greek fire is “oil of liquid stars” or simply “liquid star.”) The weapon’s maximum range is 10 feet. The tufenk requires two hands to use, and is usually rested upon a steady surface as well. It takes one round to light a vial of Greek fire; in round two the fire is projected toward a single target. It inflicts 2d6 points of damage in round two, and 1d6 in rounds three and four. The tufenk’s rate of fire is one attack every three rounds. It is an unwieldy weapon, as well as being potentially dangerous to the individual carrying the oil. When it’s used as a melee weapon, the tufenk’s game statistics match those of a quarterstaff. | + | **Tufenk**: Little more than a long blowpipe, the tufenk is used to project Greek fire across a short distance.
