A kora has a broad and thick single-edged blade that pitches forward towards the point, the edge being concave near the hilt, but convex near the point. This shape distributes the weight in such a way that the kora is capable of delivering a blow using the blade extension of a sword together with the momentum of an axe. Some models of this weapon has hand guards both above and below the grip.

A kora is too top-heavy to use in one hand without special training; thus, it is an exotic weapon. A character with Martial Weapon Proficiency can use a properly-sized kora two-handed without penalty and one-handed with a -2 penalty to attack rolls.
The willow-leaf saber, also known as "kopis" in the West and "liuyedao" in the East, has a single-edged blade that pitches forward towards the point, the edge being concave near the hilt, but convex near the point. This shape distributes the weight in such a way that the willow-leaf saber is capable of delivering a blow with the momentum of an axe, while maintaining the longer cutting edge of a sword and some facility to execute a thrust.

Kora

Exotic One-Handed Melee

Cost: 25 gp
Damage (Small): 1d4
Damage (Medium)1: 1d6
Critical: 19/20x3
Weight2: 5 lbs
Type3: Slashing
HP4: 5
Hardness: 10

1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.


A kora has a broad and thick single-edged blade that pitches forward towards the point, the edge being concave near the hilt, but convex near the point. This shape distributes the weight in such a way that the kora is capable of delivering a blow using the blade extension of a sword together with the momentum of an axe. Some models of this weapon has hand guards both above and below the grip.

A kora is too top-heavy to use in one hand without special training; thus, it is an exotic weapon. A character with Martial Weapon Proficiency can use a properly-sized kora two-handed without penalty and one-handed with a -2 penalty to attack rolls.
