Thread: Zion, Master Fencer Weapon Idea.
leather wrap grip to help the user control it easier. The guard at the emitter end is an open wire that forms a serpant curled around that meets at the bottom to form a band that covers the lower side and is connected at the back. A blood red cord with 9 woven knots ends with a tassel and is attached to a ring at the end to hang from the users belt. An imitation lightsaber, smaller and less reliable than the weapon it is modeled on. It occasionally switches itself off when struck by any other light-weapon although a master could modify this weapon so that this problem is solved.
The Lightfoil is a noble's weapon and is quite common in the Star Wars Universe, (Here's a quote from RPC Oracle.com about lightsabres, "Through tothis bond the Jedi were able excel in the use and form of the weapon and far surpass the typical noble carrying a lesser version known today as a Lightfoil."
As ZionHalcyon stated it would, 1) Decrease the amount of dabblers in our profession and encourage some of them to commit themselves.
2) Give Fencers a whole new weapon that could be what Master Fencers have been yearning for.
3) Help increase immersion and the fun factor of being a fencer.
4) Provide a goal for fencers to shoot for.
What would the stats be on such a weapon? Of course these stats are just an example, but I see a Lightfoil having maybe these kinds of stats? Or possibly others, Feel free to chime in with your own stats for it. How do we stop other Fencers using it? Well, remember how Zion said that the legendary sword would cause a posion to the person who uses it and is not a master? Well, thats not too realistic, but think about the Lightfoil? Anyone who is not a Master Fencer would have a (x)% chance that every time they attack they would have (y)% of energy damage to the from over swinging the Lightfoil and hitting themselves or something along thoes lines.

Please help keep this thread alive, We need a new weapon and I'm sure all of you would be excited to get something that would make us Masters stand out more and help to add more Star Wars contect to Star Wars Galaxies!
Hmm..not a bad idea at all. I just started novice fencer to compliment my smuggler skill set, and I can honestly say I love it. But like smuggler, you get such a limited array of weapons. Swords, curved swords, rykk blades, rantok, and stun baton. That's fine, but c'mon where are the fencer weapons? Look at classic RL fencing, they have 3 types of blades: epee, foil and saber.
How hard would it be to implement some sort of weapon variety based on these? Besides, I think carrying a lightfoil would be awesome..give those non-fencers something to be jealous of.

I like the fact that the Energy on a lightsaber would short out a light-foil if contact was made--because of the foil being thinner, weaker and less reliable I also think that if the lightfoil
could "shut off" while fighting another lightfoil it would be quite interesting; but possibly like I said Masters could manipulate their foil and upgrade it--or possibly that would be a Master Smugglers job.
Anyway, The Lightfoil comes in a dark greyish/white tone, none of these bright red/blue/green saber colors.
The Lightfoil is NOT in anyway a Lightsaber, Just think of it as a really big Laser Cutting Tool ^_^

I'd like to see this in the game, what do all of you Fencers think?
Zion, I do agree--Maybe it shouldn't be a, "Master Fencer Weapon."
But maybe it should be a Novice Fencer Weapon? It would defaintly give us a nice fencing weapon that fits into the SWG universe perfectly. Also, it's more realistic to see us fencers
running arround with Lightfoils, instead of the dated rapiers and such.
What kind of Damage do you all think this weapon might provide?You think Kenetic?
I would think Energy...though if you say a LS is Kenetic..*scratches his chin.
It dosent make since, Kenetic is like blunt damage...It would have to be Energy. (Or else a new
type called Beam?)
*shrug*
