It is said that tuskin raider males are put out into a quest to take down a kryat dragon as aright of passage. During this quest one is not allowed to have food/water or any other supplies besides the standard robes and rifle. once the youth finds a dragon they are to shoot the dragon in its nostrals to allow the shots to tear through the vulnerable sinus area and strike the brain killing the dragon almost insantly.
ok there is the background for the idea.
my idea is to have a attack (1 for each prof) that allows a master ranger to kill a certain animal/species insantly
Im gonna call it the Creature Death strike/shot depending on if you are ranged or melee. (im bad with names)
ok there would be a certain npc that is found out in the wild (prehaps1 per planet)in some kind of hut (kinda like the ris quest) that will train you how to do this attack based on what kind of creatue that you wish to 1shot/hit. after you talk to the npc on what creature you want he gives you a quest datapad and tells you to kill so many of that particular species lets say... 700 for kryats. As you kill these creatures the number that you have killed is logged into the datapad to show how many you have killed. After you have killed the desired amout you return to the npc and he trains you to kill a specific species in one shot/hit.
Also there is a limit on how many species that you can train to 1 shot say....... 3 species so you would have to give up one of the shots that you gained inorder to get another if you wanted to trade one for another(with three mine would be kryats, gorax "Endor ISR ranger", and kimos).
now this kind of thing would have to be hard to get and i mean loop your own leg 3 times around your body hard so lesser species woud require more kills based on the spawn rate and creature level. so if you wanted to 1 shot kreedles (most rangers can and will anyway). you would need to kill ALOT of kreedles possably in the millions. so prehaps it needs to be put on creatures that are higher levels only.
ideas? thoughts? bone picking? im willing to take what you dish out at me

Gee, could this be the same type of shot I proposed about a year ago.
Why, I bet it is.
A Master Ranger/Master (combat profession) would have a chance to kill any creature with one well placed hit. Yes, Master Ranger and Master (combat profession), not either/or, both. The chance to deal this one shot/one kill would depend upon -
Range - obviously, if you areat the weapon's max range, you have a lower chance than if you're inoptimum range
Vulnerability of the target- again, obvious. Acid on a Kimo... no. TKM on a Pekp Albatross.... no.But anything less than 100% vulnerability does give you a chance.
Level of the target. The higher the level, the less chance. More HAM, better armor,they got old for a reason.
Finally - You get one shot at this per creature. You either drop it right off or ya don't. No, 95% dead and it keels over from your shot, you either one shot it or you don't.
No, you are not dropping an ancient enraged Rancor with one shot 99.99% of the time. But, there is that .01% chance you can.
I mean, we can turn this into a quest, but wouldn't it be more fun to have this an ability that only certain people can get?The percentage chances are low, granted. Very low. Maybe as low as me finding a Black Sun Ace helmet (1500 killed and doodly for moi). But there is always a chance.
Just my rememberer working

can't wait for the next person who suggest a ghillie suit (yes, I was first on that too)

I don't post much but I really like this idea. Some thoughts though: I think in order to even have a chance at one-shot killing these creatures (especially higher level creatures like krayts, ancient rancors, goraths) you would have to be either /concealed or /maskscented and have to potentially crawl up to them first, get to the optimum range (closer for ranged professions to make it more difficult), and then pull off the shot. I think the .01% chance of killing an Ancient Enraged Rancor is a little low. I'm thinking 1% or 2%. Hitting .01 is near impossible.
Good idea.

ok, so, we as Rangers need a ghillie suit. It could be like something that allows us to sneak with it on, and give us a better chance at concealing. So, what do you think? Huh? Pretty original, eh? *Burst runs out of the area to evade JB's comments*
