The combat parasol is a weaponized [[Umbrella (3.5e Equipment)|umbrella]] which can be used as a bludgeoning tool, as well as a sheathe for the hidden blade inside.  It is in fact two weapons in one, the umbrella and the blade.  The blade is designed to be easily drawn and sheathed in an instant; if the umbrella body is in your hand you can draw the blade part out as a free action, and if you possess the [[SRD:Quick Draw|Quick Draw]] feat you can sheathe it as a free action.

While you can use both as weapons, if you unfurl the umbrella portion of the sheathe you can use it as a shield.  It cannot be used as a bludgeoning weapon in this state, but grants [[SRD:Cover|cover]] (+4 AC and +2 Reflex saves), though you can't use the cover to hide behind.  It may be enhanced as if it were a shield with a +0 AC bonus, applicable whenever the umbrella is unfurled.

Combat parasols that are masterwork quality never risk being inverted in high winds, and actually can be used as makeshift parachutes.  When unfurled, combat parasols reduce falling damage by 1 die (to a minimum of 0 dice).

Although both umbrella and blade are one-handed weapons, they are treated as light weapons when beneficial.  You can neither wield a combat parasol's sheathe nor blade in two hands in order to apply 1½ times your Strength bonus to damage.
