Dumb rule ideas-
Bidents, Tridents, and multi-pointed spears use the same stats as
spears. They gain +1 to hit per additional point on the end past the
first, but -1 to damage per point. The trident would have a +2 to
hit, due to having more points, but -2 to damage, due to being harder
to penetrate through surface area. The damage still has a minimum of
1 point, which is the Forkman's specialty- killing swarms. Swarm
style monsters may be made up of many creatures each with 1 hit
point- indeed their HD determines the number of creatures instead of
the health of the creature. Each weapon attack can only harm one of
them at a time- stab or slashing one at a time, making melee combat
ineffective. The exception are multi-headed spears and flails, which
can hit multiple enemies at once. Magic weapons may or may not be subject to this rule, depending on what they do.

You're a
specialist with forks. Specifically, bidents, tridents, pitchforks,
tuning forks, lighting-forks and other fork-like weapons and pieces
of equipment. You can wear medium armor and are a bit like a
skirmisher- a lightly armed and armored fighter. Many Forkmen were
gladiators or fishermen.
While fighting
with a multi-headed spear using the above silly rule; you can ignore
the damage penalty of any multi-headed spear of your level in number
of points or less. So at second level you can use bidents with +1 to
hit but no damage penalty. At third level you can use tridents at +2
to hit with no damage penalty, and so on. This is an all or nothing
bonus, so eventually you can use a 9 pointed dragon spear at +8 to
hit, and no damage penalty, but a 10 pointed death pike would be too
much for you to handle and have a -9 damage penalty from baring
scratching the surface of their skin.
You get +1 damage
with all attacks at 4th, 7th, and 10th
level.
You're also
skilled with tuning forks. If you strike a tuning fork and are at
least 3rd level, you can turn undead as though you were a
Cleric of one level beneath your own. However, if any undead creature
resists your turning effect, the tuning fork cracks and breaks from
the reverberations.
At 10th
level, you become a Fork Master.
You can now make multiple attacks to different enemies who are nearby
each other, one per head on the end of your fork maximum, but you
lose all the fork to-hit bonus for this. You can also learn the
secret blade art known as Splitting River Carves Mountain
(Difficulty 4) which lets you “fire off” one of your forks on the
end of your weapon like a projectile. This fork is permanently
separated but essentially flies as an arrow, adding your damage
bonus. Only your class can learn this move but it must be learned
from another Fork Master.
