1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.

The lancet is effectively a two-handed rapier, with an enlarged hilt which makes it seem like someone strapped a rapier blade to the shaft of a shortspear. The entire construction is very thin, like a needle, with the hilt midway through the shaft and another capping off the held end. Because of its thinness it retains low weight and finesse.

You can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to attack rolls with a rapier sized for you, even though it isn’t a light weapon for you.

Feats and abilities which effect rapiers also effect lancets.
