Exotic Weapons

There are a number of other weapons that may be found throughout the Sword Coast — katanas, scimitars, ninja-to, wakizashis, claws, bastard swords with exotic provenance — which are not described individually in the manual.

The rule is simple: if you are proficient with it, you can wield it. Class restrictions still apply (e.g. Thieves can wield katanas, scimitars, and short swords; Mages cannot use any of these).

For named magical exotic weapons see Magical Items.
