D&D 5E Gytkha and chatkcha weapons properties?

[maritimo80]

In the monsters book, have Thri-kreen with gytkha and chatkcha weapons with multi attack.
We are playing Darksun adapted for 5th. The gytkha and chatkcha weapons would have property LIGHT (can use in two weapon fighting) ?

If you want. They never have been before, though; one is a polearm and the other is a throwing weapon. I would interpret any "dual-weilding" the thri-kreen does as being a part of having four arms.

Based on my reading of the 2e dark sun rule book, I came up with the following details for these two weapons (although I forgot the damage types). I based it on the description and damage of the weapons in Dark Sun and the 5e weapon characteristics.

Chatkcha, 1d4, Finesse, Thrown (20/60)
Gythka, 1d8, versatile (1d10)

edit: I may have to reread the descriptions, the Chatkcha may very well be a light weapon as well.

I thought the Chatkcha was a ranged weapon (no melee attacks)?

And the Gythka should really be a double weapon, but 5e has no support for that. I think you'd have to put that in by hand to support it.

Well, the Chatkcha is currently similar to ranged weapon dart which has the same stats although I'd give it slashing damage as that is what it had back in 2e, I just forgot to add in the damage type. You could even give it a property like Returning, this weapon returns to the attacker if the attack misses. I figure that a thri-kreen could probably hold the chatkcha in a way that would allow it to attack with it in melee although it could easily be kept as a ranged weapon.

For the gythka, I'd say that polearm mastery could cover the double weapon feature. Double weapon could easily be a weapon feature though, all it really is is adding a second attack like dual wielding.
