	Khopesh (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The khopesh (khopsh) was an ancient Egyptian weapon which first became popular beginning with the period when upper and lower Egypt were united under one pharaoh.
		The khopesh design was devastatingly effective and changed the development of edged weapons around the known world.
		The falchion design of the middle ages evolved from the khopesh design via the kopis; the saber is the most recent descendant of the khopesh concept.

		The Avengers are finely crafted khopesh swords made entirely of green steel taken from the pits of the Netherworld.
		Their hilts are longer than that of most khopesh swords, nearly as long as the hilt of a bastard sword and the guards are forged into a coiled cobra with the blade itself springing from the snakes open mouth.
		While wielding the Avengers (in any of their forms) the wielder is considered to be proficient with the weapon in question (khopesh, longspear, dagger, javelin, etc.) regardless of whether he actually has the necessary weapon proficiencies.

		The Small Khopesh is similar to a small scimitar; except that the blade is straight for about 10cm, and then begins to curve for another 15 to 20 cm, pretty much like a heavy curved dagger.
		Khopesh, medium (one-handed) Accuracy: +1 Actions: 2 Type/Firepower: LI/O Damage: d4+1w/d6+1w/d8+1w Hide: +1 Mass: 1,8-2,5 Skill: Melee Weapons-blade Similar in design to the small Khopesh, the medium version is heavy and unwieldy, but it appeared early in Egyptian cultures.
		Khopesh, large (two-handed) Accuracy: +2 Actions: 2 Type/Firepower: LI/O Damage: d6+1w/d8+1w/2d4+1w Hide: -- Mass: 2,5-3,5 Skill: Melee Weapons-blade Essentially a very large khopesh, this heavy weapon is a white elephant.

	The Armory
		"Khopesh" is the Egyptian term for a style of Canaanite sickle sword which was adopted by the Egyptians during the New Kingdom period of that country’s history, when Upper and Lower Egypt were united under one pharaoh.
		In either case, the heavy spine of the weapon, with its center of gravity along the blade instead of close to the hilt, along with its ability to cleave through both armor and flesh easily, made the khopesh the most effective weapon of the period.
		The saber, with its long, curved blade, sharpened along the outer edge of the curve, is the most recent descendant of the khopesh concept.

	David & Goliath
		Goliath's moving distance may vary according to whether he advances with the shield (7cm minus a die roll) or drop it to use the khopesh with both hands (9cm minus a roll of die).
		If Goliath decides to change his stance and use the khopesh with both hands, a not-yet used javelin is considered lost.
		In case the melee ends with an even result, David can immediately flee (don't forget to roll the die for deduction of movement and that a roll of a 6 means he cannot move).

		Currently, the maximum tactical speed allows the Khopesh and Lavi corvettes/frigates to be easily outstripped by these newer ships, and if these corvettes were to be used in an escort role, then they would be left behind, also leaving behind the air cover of the task force.
		Captain M. Soban believes that the Khopesh corvettes are outdated in comparison to the Lavi supralight frigates, and recommends proliferation of the Lavi vessel and the mothballing of remaining Khopesh corvettes.
		Khopesh class robotic weapons systems have been found to be tremendously useful in the escort corvette role, although inadequate against wolfpacks of Loyalist heavy fighters.

		Khopesh are vulnerable to energy weapons (plasma lances/bombs), as they bypass defense fields.
		The HAC II class of heavy fighters are mediocre in specifications compared to the Hiigaran space superiority fighters - but where it lacks in firepower and technical superiority it makes up for it with high availability and ease of both maintenence and operation.
		In short, it is a very practical ship for widespread deployment, wheras such as Avengers and Khopesh class space superiority craft are not very widely available at all.

	EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Khopesh
		Nonetheless, i agree that it's not gonna be a whole lot like a khopesh--a tapering concave inward-facing curved blade, perpindicular to a mid-length handle isn't likely to be used very much like a convex curved blade with an inverse taper on the end of [and parallel to] a short handle.
		My understanding is that the design rationale behind the khopesh was (1) greater weight at the tip for more powerful blows and (2) curved blade to make it a more deadly slashing weapon.
		I use 1d6 20/x3, 5lb, slashing (same as a Handaxe) with a Noble's Khopesh being 2d4 20/x3, 7lb, slashing (as a Battleaxe with a slightly higher average).

		The base stats for a Khopesh are 1d8 19-20/x3.
		I'm looking for a +4 or +5 Khopesh, usable by elves, or a +2 or better elemental (preferably acid) holy, unholy, axiomatic, or anarchic version.

		I like to add a handguard and prefer a straighter edge than most sickles, and try also to reinforce the handle with a strip of metal to increase its durability.
		A sturdy Khopesh with a deep enough curve would suffice for the task, though, provided the cutting edge was on the concave, and not the convex side of the blade.
		The concave side of the Khopesh could stop and trap an incoming weapon, but the convex edge would allow the weapon to be deflected either into my hand or into my face (which isn't the effect that I'm looking for).
