''Before you stands a warrior armed with a pike. He raises his pike, ready to attack.''
This "pike" is 25 lbs and a few feet long, held in two hands. Even though it is not a conventional weapon, proficiency in any martial polearm is sufficient to grant proficiency in the northern pike. The northern pike deals 1d10 fish damage with a 20/x3 critical. A northern pike has reach. You can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but and unlike most reach weapons you can’t may use it against an adjacent foefoes. If you use a ready action to set a northern pike against a charge, you deal double damage on a successful hit against a charging character. You can also make attacks against creatures a further +10 ft away as a standard action, but do not threaten this far as you shoot your target with your fish beams.
Its wielded either like a gun, or a gun with a bayonet. The weapon does not register as magical, but appears to be a still living fresh specimen of its species. It, however, is not a real creature. It has hardness 2, and 30 hp, and recovers 1 hp per minute submerged in water.
