双头武器(Double Weapons): 双头链枷(Dire flail)，矮人矛斧(Dwarven urgroshe)，侏儒钩式战锤(Gnome hooked hammer)，兽人双头斧(Orc double axe)，木棍(Quarterstaff)和双头剑(Two-bladed sword)属于双头武器，使用者可以使用双头武器的任一端战斗，就像使用双武器战斗一样，但同时也会受到使用双武器战斗的惩罚(视为一把单手武器和一把轻武器)。使用者也可以双手使用双头武器，只用一头来攻击对手，此时视为使用双手武器。一个生物在单手持用双头武器时，不能将其作为双武器使用，每回合只能使用武器的一头攻击。
Double Weapons: Dire flails, dwarven urgroshes, gnome hooked hammers, orc double axes, quarterstaffs, and two-bladed swords are double weapons. A character can fight with both ends of a double weapon as if fighting with two weapons, but he or she incurs all the normal attack penalties associated with two-weapon combat, just as though the character were wielding a one-handed weapon and a light weapon.
The character can also choose to use a double weapon two handed, attacking with only one end of it. A creature wielding a double weapon in one hand can’t use it as a double weapon—only one end of the weapon can be used in any given round.
Defending: A defending weapon allows the wielder to transfer some or all of the sword’s enhancement bonus to his AC as a bonus that stacks with all others. As a free action, the wielder chooses how to allocate the weapon’s enhancement bonus at the start of his turn before using the weapon, and the effect to AC lasts until his next turn.
