A Katar is a Melee Light Fist Weapon that enhances Unarmed Attacks with a Piercing twist.
__TOC__
==Description==
===Appearance===
The Katar is a type of push dagger. The weapon is characterized by its H-shaped horizontal hand grip which results in the blade sitting above the user's knuckles. 
Because the Katar's blade is in line with the user's arm, the basic attack is a direct thrust identical to a punch, although it could also be used for slashing. This design allows the fighter to put their whole weight into a thrust. The sides of the handle could be used for blocking but it otherwise has little defensive capability.
The force of a Katar thrust could be so great that many blades were thickened at the point to prevent them from bending or breaking. This also strengthened their use against mail. Katar with thickened tips are commonly described as "armour-piercing", but it is likely that only narrow and slender blades made this function possible. Such a weapon was capable of piercing textile or mail.
