5e weapons beyond the PHB..

[animewatcha]

Tried googling and could only find Double Blade Scimitar. Does 5e have any other 'exotic' weapons outside the PHB?

5e doesn't have exotic weapons.

For player use, there's repeating crossbow in OotA and Yklwa (spelling?) from ToA.

Made a thread about that a bit over a week ago. With the help of the other posters we listed a decent amount of alternative weapons in the other official books that would classify as an exotic weapon. Page numbers and book abbreviations are included in any post where i mention any to make them easier to find.

The restrictions I put on what would qualify as a valid exotic weapon are:

Its damage type is either slashing, piercing or bludgeoning (anything else is either a magic item or an enhancement on the base item).
Has damage dice that conform to weapon size scaling (DMG 278) so it can be scaled down to medium if found on a larger creature's stat block.
Is mechanically different from other existing weapons (dice, damage type, properties) otherwise it is just a reskin (example: glaives and halberds are mechanically identical, one is just a reskin of the other)


A few of the fancier weapons needed to be reverse engineered based on the monster's stat blocks, but overall there are enough additions to make it worth taking a look at for your own use.
