Thread: New Fencer Weapon Idea
Extra damage types are fun. Sure, we get the stun baton, but it's damage is eh... I only find it useful against people using full suits of composite.
This also seemed a bit more Star Warsy than your traditional blade: Shock blades.
They would be short, conductive rods with electric damage. Sort of like a tazer, only a bit larger. They could even make cool "Bzzt!" sounds and get a small flash of light when connecting with a target.
*stares at tissko* was that the elusive fencer sarcasm again? Or did you mean it? *shudder*
We simply need swords, just swords, before we go exotic, lets just have five more swords so that everyone has a chance at some diversity and some form of originality. Each of different speeds balances and damages, but ALL BALANCED. Simply to accomadate different techniques!
) and so on...because that would be FREAKIN' cool, if you ask me..even if it wasn't armor..actually, I'd prefer that they not be armor, since it'd probably encumberthe mind too much, being so cool and all... /zone

Actually, I'd like it if we could have a steel blade with krayt teeth up running up and down the side, thus possibly giving us nice AP (it is assumed that driving a blade with such rugged, sharp edges into anything will be easier due to these teeth-dealies) and a rather nifty looking sword. Also, I know this has nothing to do with fencers, but I think there should be helmets and crap that can be made to look precisely like a krayt skull/rancor skull/graul skull/quenker skull/kliknik head (not skull because they, being insects, have no bones!
krayt teeth are huge...it would have to be a two handed weapon if it had krayt teeth on it
why not give fencers a traditional fencing foil, may be a vibro-foil with very fast base stats and very low HAM and good damage to unarmored targets
i think we should get a baseball bat so when can beat down people like a thug.... and a sack of potatoes... yeah....!!!!
but on a serious note.....
i agree with t 900 and think we should get 3-5 new swords that are diverse and look differnt...

Well..what if they were BABY krayt teeth?
Bah, I dunno..I just want something more nifty than my gaffi... 
it should be really fast but only so-so damage/ Id feel more "fencer" with it.
I ran a delivery mission for a noble which involved the delivery of a "VibroRapier". Rather primising that it is at least mentioned somewhere in game Was disapointed to see that I didn't get to see the rapier itself, just your standard data disk delivery.
Kudos and Forever RAR!

Hi,
I beg to differ. What we want is something elegant. Not something large and cumbersome.
Vibrorapier sound good to me. Perhaps make a certification with a "duelist" to make it consistent with standard data disk delivery.
How am I supposed to dodge and parry with a hand axe? Then again, we coulddo with a broad sword or a falshion. Yeah! You would love a smaller version of "Cleaver."
Me? I would love a vibrorapier. It would go perfect with my outfits and my title, "Master Dancer."

Takes by a thesaurus check on the word sword.
I want a scimitar! I want a cutlass! I want a MACHETE!!!
But remember this proffesion is infact one handed, not exclusively swords, so if it is to remain this way: I WANT A HATCHET! PLEASE PLEASE LET ME HAVE A LARGE ONE HANDED CHOPPING AXE TO BURY IN MY ENEMIES RIBCAGE.
Something so cool about a hatchet... Those who've read the farseer trilogy or played House of the Dead 1 or 2 know why
