Throwing it is possible, however it does not have the required balance to make an effective long-range throw, which is why its range is only about 30 feet far. The weapons are mainly used as some kind of short thrusting spear in melee combat. This means your average yklwa is about 4 feet long, and a good 40% of that is the blade-like ending. It has a wooden shaft of about 3 feet long and has a stone or steel blade that is between 12 and 18 inches long. It can also be used as a throwing weapon, but it isn’t very effective. So what exactly is the Yklwa? It is a very simple but effective melee weapon that the Chultan warriors use. The legend goes that the sound is derived from what you hear when you pull the Yklwa out of the heart of a dinosaur.

In this Guide, I am going to tell you a little more about the lore of the weapon, how to use it, and answer some frequently asked questions about them. I kind of know what goes and whatnot, and how to make the life of both a player and a DM hard. This is mainly because I mainly play as a Dungeon Master, and secondly, because I have to counter lots of shenanigans that players throw at me. If you are familiar with my guides, you know that I mainly write from the Dungeon Master’s perspective. There is not a lot of lore on the Yklwa in 5e – or any other edition – and not a lot of information is given in official rulebooks or stories from Wizards of the Coast. In this Yklwa 5e guide, I am going to tell you a little more about this strange and not that often used weapon. Maybe you have been looking through some homebrews from people about monks, or you have read some of the official player’s handbooks and stumbled across the Yklwa.
