	The '''Sai''' is a small Okinawan weapon which has been added into [[GemStone]] with the addition of the [[Erithian]] race.
			The '''sai''' first came into existence as a farm tool used to measure the distance between seeds in a crop and to plant the crop itself (poking the tip into the ground). After years of tough times experienced by farmers, the sai evolved into a handy weapon used to trap and disarm swordsmen.

		⚫	The sai consists of a shaft with a sharpened point, a grip, and a pair of upswept wings, or prongs, that are similar to a crossguard. The joint between the shaft and the wings is called the wing base. The area of the shaft below the tip and above the wing base is often called the "strike point" and the bottom of the grip is called the pommel.

The joint between the shaft and the wings is called the wing base. The area of the shaft below the tip and above the wing base is often called the "strike point" and the bottom of the grip is called the pommel~~. Contrary to popular culture, sais are not traditionally sharpened~~.

	A '''jitte''' is similar to a sai, but differs in construction in that it only has one wing.

	== Uses ==
⚫	The sai ~~has~~ ~~often~~ ~~been~~ ~~said~~ to ~~once~~ be an ~~agricultural~~ ~~tool.~~ ~~Although, this may or may not be true in~~ the ~~real world, that is the story~~ of the ~~Sai~~ ~~in GemStone~~. ~~In Japan~~, the sai was a weapon used in law enforcement, more often in the form of a jitte. Sais were usually used in threes, one in each hand and one carried in the belt, in case one of the sais were disarmed or thrown. When used as a thrown weapon, the sai had a lethal range of 20-30 feet. The heavy iron construction of a sai gave it enough weight to punch a hole in [[armor]].

	Sais were effective against long blades, as a skilled user could catch a blade and snap it with just the twist of the hand. In GemStone, the defensive nature of the weapon is displayed in the fact that it gives +10 to a character's [[Defensive Strength]] when held in the off-hand.
