Stage Weapon

Cost 5-100 gp; Weight 2 lbs.

A stage weapon is normally a scenic tool with a blunt edge that can only do nonlethal damage when used in combat. A hidden button on its grip allows the wielder to retract the blade in the handle as a free action, doing no damage at all in a round. Any regular weapon can be made into a stage weapon (as if it were an additional weapon quality) by adding 100 gp to its cost.
