Aklys:

Atlatl: An atlatl is simply a throwing stick for a short javelin. Its leverage
and track provide greater range and velocity as well as better accuracy.
(Ancient javelineers wrapped their missiles with a cord to
impart spin, for they retained one end of this cord when the javelin
was hurled. This also improved accuracy.) The shorter, lighter javelins
associated with an atlatl inflict the same amount of damage because
of their velocity.

Crossbow, Hand-held:

The hand-held crossbow is the creation of
the dark elves, and is much more common in their underground realm
than in the surface world. These crossbows require only one hand to
fire, but two hands to load and reload them. Dark elves commonly use
insinuative poisons and sleep-inducing agents on their crossbow projectiles.
In the latter case, a target hit by a dart tipped with this substance
must save versus poison at -4 or fall unconscious. The basic
cost of 300 gp listed for this weapon applies when the weapon is to be
obtained from a non-drow source in the surface world; in the domain
of the dark elves, such weapons are much more in evidence (and
available), and may be purchased for as little as 30 gp. Likewise, the
cost of special quarrels for this weapon will be reduced by approximately
a factor of 10 (down to 10 gp each) if they are obtained from
the dark elves.

Lasso:

This weapon does no damage in game terms. A successful
hit, however, effectively creates the same situation as does a successful
harpoon hit, only the lasso must be broken or severed to detach
it if the wielder is exerting force to keep it taut. There is a 75%
chance that the victim will be dismounted, andlor a 25% chance that
the victim will be pulled off its feet if the target is bipedal and of a
height and mass not greater than + 50% of the lasso wielder. Note
that several creatures can combine to make this more probable, i.e.
rider and mount, several individuals seizing the other end of the lasso
line, etc. A lasso is severed by 2 points of cutting damage. Strength
can snap a lasso, with a chance equal to that of bending bars, but only
one such attempt is allowed in any given instance.
