Sap

From PathfinderWiki
(Redirected from Cosh)

A sap, also called a cosh or blackjack, is a small but heavy type of club often used to inflict nonlethal, incapacitating harm. It is typically made of a wide dense core, such as lead, and wrapped in soft materials, such as leather. Its width and padding are meant to spread the force of a blow to reduce the chances that an assault with one will draw blood or break bones. As extremely simple weapons, saps are also often inexpensive.1

In religion

Saps are the holy weapons of the infernal duke Jiraviddain,2 the asura rana Gavidya,3 and the sahkil tormentor Shawnari.4
