A light war pick has high crits, dealing an extra 1d6 damage at levels 1-10, 2d6 damage at levels 11-20, or 3d6 damage at level 21-30, on a critical hit. A light war pick is also an off-hand weapon. A character can use a light war pick to make attacks even while holding another one-handed weapon in the other hand, and can use the other one-handed weapon to make attacks even if it isn't an off-hand weapon. A light war pick is also a small weapon.
