Taryn's Amazing Hoopak of Movement and Power
donated by Taryn Pickenhands

Description: A 2.5' staff made of hard yat supple wood, that is cupped and netted at one end and has a spear point at the other end. The Handle is sometimes hollowed out to hold useful objects, like silk rope or stones for ammunition.

History: I first made this hoopak when Jomar showed me a portal to another world. On that world there were some men in light armor running around in a field of grass with weird white lines on it. They were throwing a ball around using their Hoopaks and I wanted to go join them but Jomar stopped me saying that I was stupid. *sniffle* Can you believe that guy he says he's my friend... I don't think friends call friends stupid, he's just stupid! Any way, after I saw that I went into the Storeroom and found a lot of really neat things... oh, nut then three days later I remembered the really neat sticks and rebuilt my own Hoopak. But since the destruction of the tower, I haven't had any time to build more and we haven't gotten near any Kender towns so I carry the only one in the world.

How it Works: This Hoopak can be thrown as a spear (for normal damage), or handled like a LaCrosse stick for added velocity on all projectiles (+2 to Attack, Damage becomes 1d6+1). It can still be used as a normal Hoopak but it is not as accurate that way (-2 to Attack rolls, Normal 1d4 damage). As a tool the hoopak can be used to gather fruit from the lower tree branches, like an apple picker, or to scoop items up off the floor or out of holes or water. As a musical instrument, this hoopak can be swung in a cicle and it emits a low bullroar.
