Pikeman Archive

Here is a list of cool things I want for Pikemen...(its nice to want stuff)

Taken from "Star Wars: The New Jedi Order"

Amphistaff: A serpent that could change on command into a cudgel, razor-sharp polearm, or poison-fanged whip.

Vonduun Armor: made from the shells of living crabs.

There is also something about having armor plates surgically implanted...

Since this game is essentially Dungeons and Dragons, in concept and execution, how about a percentage hit. There is a sword in D&D called a Vorpal Weapon. On a roll of a natural 20, on a twenty sided die (no idea what that works out to in percentages, math anyone?), the attacker would lop off the head of his opponent. Battle ends, head rolls away. I would say my LVA could do that too. Every battle with a creature/person, would include a 1 in whatever chance that their head would come off. Maybe not on really big creatures, maybe just a big damage hit.

Just to make things a bit more chaotic and interesting, I think that that percentage shot should come into effect for all characters. For example: Players with flame throwers. A percentage chance that their attacker could hit the weapon in such a way that it explodes. I mean, it is a gas filled container! Rare, but spectacular. Happens all the time in war movies.

Or maybe your gun is destroyed, sword breaks, pike falls apart, etc. Nothing lives forever. Ya I know, you just got your uber weapon all sliced and powered up...easy come, easy go. Its a game. Wierd things should happen.

I still want the flamethrower add-on for my LVA. Swing...miss...FWOOOSH...sizzle.

How about one of those staffs used by the Serpent guards on Stargate? Give us both ranged and melee attacks with one weapons! Woohoo!

This is WAY before the vong invasion....

Yeah, Yuuzhan Vong are LONG after the empire.....theres no reason we should get these things now, with the timeline following that of the empire.

Not only that but the vong have a special afinity with all those living organisms they use. In order to use them one would probably need master CH and PM skills.

Anyways it is way after the timeline we are now, so forget about it.

I realize the timeline, still the idea is cool, and this game is decidedly short on ideas, especially for pikemen.

still involving the vong at this time is wrong....

Besides, unless they plan on bringing new characters such as the vong, no one will be able to use such weapons they are vong exclusive. LOL!
