I say we needthe ablity to throw a useless Pistol at your enemy. It could stun them...and give you enough time to shout an insult before the incap you...not sure what they would call it though

Notice SWG is completely lacking in thrown weapons? They do exist in the EU. I think Scout Blasters would be a great place to start. You could even put a rubber band on the trigger before throwing it.

Gunplay Mode:
Using this special ability focuses the pistoleer ondefensive tactics present when fighting. This grants the pistoleer greatly increased Ranged Defense and Dodge, at a slight cost to accuracy and mind.(this would be our sort of cover. fencers could also get a swordplay mode..)
Disarm 1:
This special attack damages the enemy's hands. The extreme pain thereafter will force them to use only the Default Attack for several seconds until the effect wears off. (A good compromise? targets health)
Disarm 2:
(AOE)
Point Blank Single 2:
With his enemy incapacitated, there is no better way to finish it off with a stylish last shot. The Pistoleer twirls his gun, aims at the enemy's temple, shakes his head slightly, and finishes the deed. (a stylish deathblow move)
Point Blank Area 2:
When the pistoleer is surrounded, only a few tactics remain. This desperate shot will stop enemies dead in their tracks and delay them for several seconds, allowing the pistoleer to run to a safer distance to continue the battle. (posture change down and10 second delay)
Double Tap:
Two quick shots to the same location can give the enemy a run for his money as they pray for escape. (chance to intimidate or stun)
MTPS:
Although dueling and warfare are the true realms of the pistoleer, style is what sets it apart. This parlor-trick shot is often used to shoot bottles in midair or at a distance. (does what disarm2 currently does: 2 or 3x damage to inatimate objects and is AOE. we might as well not throw away the code used for disarm currently.)

Grenades don't count?

Show me a Commando actually using grenades in combat, and I'll admit that they count. For now they don't.
I guess poison/disease counts as a thrown weapon.

Great post! I especially like your concept for Disarming shot - dont go for the weapon, go for the hands.

You said: Notice SWG is completely lacking in thrown weapons?
You didn't say: Notice SWG is completely lacking in effective thrown weapons?

SWG doesn't really need thrown weapons cause we have ranged attacks. I mean really, the archers/axe throwers/wizards are range professions. Although having some shurikens as a TKA for throwing sounds like fun

Huh? Grenades can't KD anyone. Maybe it incapped the thrower, but that's the closest a grenade will ever do to a KD right now.
Their accuracy and everything is so broken it's not even funny. Anyways, this is getting off topic.
What I'd really like to see though, would be a multi-target pistol shot that works in conjunction with dual-weild to affectively hit an enourous range of targets. A 'cripple shot' type move would be pretty handy too, as we don't get much in terms of powershots after over-charge.
