This article is about the javelin in Koryo. For the spear in the North, see black kumade (spear).
The black kumade was a magical javelin wielded by Lin Goh, clanmaster of the Panthers of Xi in Koryo around 1357 DR. It became a symbol of that ninja clan.[note 1][note 2]
It was an obsidian +2 javelin that would return to its wielder when hurled. It could also be spun like a baton to deflect attacks; while spinning, it served as a +3 shield.[1][2]

Notes[]
- ↑ Although named as a kumade, a kind of weaponized rake, the black kumade is only statted and described as a javelin. It is unclear if or how this weapon functions as a kumade. It may be that it has a barbed head.
- ↑ It is unknown what relation this weapon has to the black kumade appearing in the Neverwinter Nights games.
