I believe the name of that weapon is a sickle.

Isnt that a Pick?

It could be a pick, scythe, or sickle, depending on the size and the way you're supposed to use it.

Of course it'll be none of those, it'll be more like a gat'oun or some other Yokuish noun.

looks like there is a blade on the bottom of that top part, so I would say it is a scythe

Well in Neverwinter Nights they call it a Kama IIRC

Then name I was looking for was 'zaghnal'.
And it is more of a pick than a sickle or scythe.

And a kama is a sickle.

Who cares about the real world name? It's going to be called a Ktamba or something anyway.

It will be called a kallistaja! Elfane agreed!

Massive abuse of power, engage!

Feel free to use this thread to suggest yoku names for various weapons. And leave the concept art thread to concept art pictures.

@grodahl, kama's are the same shape but are more the size of daggers, so really small. they were also in guildwars, but i think they are real weapons. I agree that it should be a yoku name. I like the names Gez Suggested.

Call it a Daikama then. Hoho.

Kama certainly is a RL weapon, or tool depending on how you see things. During the feodal period in Japan carrying swords was forbidden for commoners so they used what they had instead. Like a sickle (kama) or a small shovel (kunai).
And adding dai would suck also, dai means alot of things ie. stance, rack, respect of the elderly etc But a simple translation is big.

BUT FUCK RL NAMES!

Kallistaja FTW!
