War RAKE?? haha, tis a weapon hidden in the depths of a AD&D second edition weapons manual. One dice 4 ( 1d4 ) per rake,um talon i guess. Anyway, I was in a real BORED state of mind with a pencil in hand, so I dissambled one in my head. That led to drawing..so on. I'll let you draw(haha) your own conclusions on this one.

Excellent weapon concept, especially considering the fact that lots of weapons had their origins in simple farming implements and other tools used by peasants and craftsmen, like the flail, the scythe, and the axe. Such tools were usually the only weapons the common people could defend themselves with in ancient times, because the serious weapons, like swords and spears, were often the exclusive province of the military and the nobility.

The rake used for sweeping up leaves would not be a very good weapon in a melee, but the rake used for cleaning up manure has very nasty potential as a martial arts weapon -- these things are basically long sticks with the head being a horizontal iron bar with nasty spikes along its length. One would defend against melee attacks using the iron bar portion of the head and the length of the stick, and attack using the spikes and the other end of the stick.
