The tangat , or Talenta tangat , is a two-handed bladed weapon created and used by the halflings of the Talenta Plains . [1] [2]
Description
The weapon comprises a curved blade (similar to that of a scimitar ) fixed onto a short haft. [1] [2] [note 1] The typical halfling tangat weighs 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms), but one sized for a human would weigh 8 pounds (3.6 kilograms). [1]
Tactics
For its size, the tangat can deal more serious injuries to a foe. For most warriors, the tangat is an exotic weapon that's difficult to master, [1] [2] but Talenta halfling warriors find it more familiar and learn it easily. [3] [4] They can specialize in attacking more effectively from dinosaur -back [5] and doing more damage. [5] [4] It may be wielded two-handed [1] or one-handed. [2] [note 2]
Availability
A basic tangat can be had for 40 gp [1] or 20 gp. [2]
Reputation
Alongside the sharrash and boomerang , the tangat is one of the ancestral weapons of the Talenta halflings. Talenta warriors can train all three together. [5] [4]
Appendix
Notes
- ↑ Artwork on page 119 of the Eberron Campaign Setting labels a scimitar-like weapon as a "Talenta tangat". However errata for the ECS (available here ) state this is actually a Valenar scimitar and the tangat is shown on page 204. It is also likely to be the very similar weapon held by a halfling on page 17. Both are displayed in this article.
- ↑ The tangat is a two-handed weapon in 3 rd edition and one-handed weapon in 4 th edition, likely due to rules changes.
