Sep 22, 2005 19:28:36 Officially, the hoopak is an exotic weapon that combines a staff with a shortspear and a sling. It can be used to hurl stones or bullets like a sling can (and with the same stats), used as a staff (again, same stats) or (if sharpened) a shortspear. As a double weapon, it can even be used to make an attack with the blunt end and the pointed end.

Kender can use a hoopak if they are proficient with Simple weapons. Other races need to use an Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat to pick it up.

Cheers,
Cam

Sep 25, 2005 10:28:26 Don't forget it also has this weird noise-making property. When spun, it emits a sort of high pitched, eerie whining shriek. Useful as a distraction or signal, although I'm not sure what, if any, the actual rules for its use are.

Sep 25, 2005 11:44:43 The hoopak in 2nd Edition done 1d6+2 points of damage, and was considered a P/B weapon because of the sharp spike at one end and the sling attached at the other. I hope that this information is useful to you, UburGeek. Also, the information that I provided is in the Tales of the Lance boxed set.

Oct 18, 2005 21:49:53 The Hoopak stats are included in the Dragonlance DM Screen Pack. I wanna know about other weapons like the whippik and chapak.

Kronn Thistleknott uses a chapak in Key of Destiny. I don't think I gave any of the characters a whippik, though.
