While holding this yklwa, you can use a bonus action to cause the handle to expand to double the length, providing the Reach property. While in this elongated form, the weapon's damage and weight do not change. You have disadvantage when you use the elongated yklwa to attack a target within 5 feet of you. You can use a bonus action to cause the yklwa to revert to its normal size.
A yklwa (pronounced YICK-ul-wah) is a simple melee weapon that is the traditional weapon of Chultan warriors. A yklwa consists of a 3-foot wooden shaft with a steel or stone blade up to 18 inches long. It costs 1 gp, and it deals 1d8 piercing damage on a hit. Although it has the thrown weapon property, the yklwa is not well balanced for throwing (range 10/30 ft.).
