There are generally two types of umbrellas: oil umbrellas and metal umbrellas. Oil umbrellas are made from paper soaked in oil to make it waterproof while metal umbrellas have a type of canvas with a metal frame. Oil umbrellas are used for bludgeoning while metal umbrellas are used for piercing.
A combat umbrella that has been used for a bludgeoning/piercing attack can do extra damage by opening up, causing 1d4 (1d6 for large, 1d2 for small) extra damage of bludgeoning/piercing once. This does not provoke an attack of opportunity. This is a move action, but can be changed to a free action by the Quick Draw feat. It is a move action to close the umbrella, provoking an attack of opportunity. The Quick Draw feat changes this to a free action. A still-open combat umbrella is unable to be used to attack.
A person wielding a combat umbrella can use it while dancing, gaining a +2 to Perform (dance) checks.
