Thread: SWORDSMEN'S ROUND TABLE: On weapons...
Maybe a sword with some kinda explosive mechanism in the blade that detonates on impact (kinda like firing gun), so it could only be used in melee range.

Gunblades would be badass, but if a melee class got ranged attacks people would cry nerf.

Thats what I mean, not blades that shoot projectiles, but a blade that use a sort of an energy cartridge to energize the blade the the weilder press the triggerthe second it hits. This could be combined with all the existing and the new special moves as well, and could become very useful.
However, if to prevet it to become too useful, and gunblade should only be avaliable to higher skilled swordsmen. Expert lvl or so. And it should be limited to swordsmen only, wouldent like a doc running around with a gunblade.
They could also easily come in alot of different appearances, based on revolver-handles, or something more futuristic.
No real suggestions from myself, you guys have some great ideas going here. Different types of damage would be great, if ranged weapons can have every damage type but kinetic then there's no reason we shouldn't have more than just 2 types. I'm all about varied types of weapons, not just swords... the only reason we're called Swordsman is because "Two-Handed Weaponsman" is awkward ashell to say!I just want whatever new weapon ideas that are mused upon by the higher ups to fit a "Star Warsy" look and ideology... some ideas in this thread are kind of D&D/EQ-like.
At least we shoul get a Vibro-Greatblade or something..
Take cloud from FF7s sword for example, big and heavy looking and add vibro to it and we have something starwarsishy..
Kinda hard find many different starwarishy swords.. Everyone probably wants to say "Lightsaber" 
Ok i now this has been proably been said before but it needs to be sayd agian.
There is this cool sword on the wall in Nyms Fortress. and at the forcecaves yesterday i sal force weilder use the same weapon, and he was holding it two handedly, I chould not take a screen becuase my group blasted him before i could.
At first i thought is was the rantok, but then I did the Jabba the hutt thing and it wasn't, it looked like a Board Curved Sword but had a ba cuvreing the grip, the grib was brown, the Bar was shaped like { this on faceing down of the bar, The Bar was the same color as the sword.
* Edor names sword until the devs get it outm Curve Board Sword *

Actually its called the Two-Handed Sword, to be implemented in the form of a semi-draft schematic in January according to TH.
There are only 34587435 posts about it on the very first page of the Swordsman forum.
One I would love to see is the double bladed sword. These are pretty common in KOTOR and given they already have the animations for double bladed lightsabers it would be cake to implement from art asset point of view.
If they added that the scythe, a schematic to make that weapon from the night sister place and maybe one nice big claymore sword I think folks would be pretty set weapon wise.
I think it would also be nice if there was maybe a few different graphics for each weapon with some control of tint colors to give a bit more diversity in the weapons that are out there.

A truly massive claymore type weapon. Something to really bust heads with.

hehe yea like huge
Claymores and a Flamberge is all i really want to see 
and ill be happy. Also the Scabbard for the back or side really really needs to be impimented. Variations on weps would be nice to such hughe of the blade etc. I cant wait to see what comes of this.
