Basic Wakizashi +1

Basic Wakizashi +1(One-Handed, Slashing)

• Damage: 1d6 +1 Slashing
• Properties: Light, One-Handed
• Rarity: Uncommon

Weapon Description:

The Wakizashi is a short, curved blade traditionally used alongside the katana as part of a warrior’s daisho (paired swords). Smaller and more agile than a katana, the wakizashi excels in close combat, particularly in tight spaces where larger weapons may be unwieldy. It is often favored by samurai, assassins, and duelists for its balance of speed and precision, making it an ideal weapon for swift, lethal strikes.

Special Actions:

1. Daisho's Bonus

   • Reaction: When striking with a Katana while dual wielding a Wakizashi add an additional 3 piercing damage when attacking with a Katana 
2. Wakizashi's Bond
   • When dual wielding with a Katana but using the Wakizashi as the main action attack the slash seems to be more violent with the blades resonating together. Add an additional 1d4 +2 to an attack Twice per Short Rest.
