OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

  • Intent: To create the Gunblade Pistol Taji uses.
  • Image Source: [1]
  • Canon Link: N/A
  • Permissions: N/A
  • Primary Source:
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
  • Manufacturer: Taji Nelson
  • Affiliation: My characters.
  • Model: TH45 Gunblade
  • Modularity: Yes
  • Production: Semi Unique (20.)
  • Material: Durasteel, blaster components, Hard Light Tech. (Blade) Lightsaber Crystals (Fire, Ice, Electricity ones.)
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Gunblade
  • Size: Small
  • Weight: Heavy
  • Ammunition Type: Hard Light
  • Ammunition Capacity: Low
  • Effective Range: Personal
  • Rate of Fire: Low
  • Stopping Power: Up to High
  • Recoil: Extreme
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Can fire in fast, sustained volleys due to the barrel construction
  • Has a blade it can use.
STRENGTHS
  • Will not overheat due to continuous fire.
  • Damage Altering Crystals: By plugging in crystals imbued with the Force for elemental properties, the elemental properties can be channeled into the hard light arrows allowing them to burn / freeze / whatever when they impact with a target.
  • Bonded to User: Due to a mixture of both biometric scanner technology and Jal Shey / Alchemy Techniques, the Gunblades are bound to the wielder. No one else can put them to use.
WEAKNESSES
  • Effective range limited due to compact design.
  • Really draining on his stamina to use to use for long periods of time.
  • Force Disruptions: Void Stone, Ylasmari and the like would negate this weapon as it is powered by the Force.
  • Removal of the Crystals: Removal of the crystals would significantly weaken what the Gunblades are capable of.
DESCRIPTION

A weapon constructed by Taji that uses the power of the Force to create ammunition. The gun blade was made by him as his first foray into Force Infused Items in order to attempt to create a teleportation item for himself that wasn't a Force Using Item. These can also be teleported to his hands via the Force. Different crystals installed in the blade can give it different elemental abilities, or different powers. This fires energy arrows which can be either non-lethal or lethal. The lethal variant could be used effectively against armoured or reinforced targets and structures when used with precision.

When a crystal is plugged into the device, the hard light gains the property of the crystal. For instance, say they plugged a crystal known to give Lightsabers intense amounts of heat into the device, the hard light would also gain the intense heat. The same would be true with ones that would provide intense cold to the Lightsaber, or intense electrical shocks. So far those three types are the only ones that he has managed to adapt the Gunblade in order to handle the use of. The crystals could be swapped out for ones other than those three types should further modifications be done.

The arrows stay in existence as they are made out of hard light unlike traditional blaster bolts. They stay in existence for about half a minute after they are shot out of the Gunblade.

Heya, I'll be your judge for this submission. There are a few things we'll need to work through before I can approve this.

Production
Production: Mass Produced
Ammunition Type: The Force
Different crystals installed in the blade can give it different elemental abilities, or different powers.
First off, with the Force-based abilities this weapon has, namely the Force-created ammunition and the ability to imbue powers and elemental effects into each arrow, the Production rating of Mass Produced will have to be lowered in accordance with the rules on restricted items and materials. However, before a solid rating can be determined, I'll need clarifications on some of the weapon's abilities and ratings.


Material: Durasteel, blaster components, Hard Light Tech. (Blade)
What's your source for the "Hard Light Tech" you mention in Materials, as I'm not familiar with Hard Light technology in Star Wars beyond light bridges.


Ammunition Capacity
Ammunition Capacity: Unlimited
The Ammunition Capacity requires an actual rating between Extremely Small and Extremely Large in order to correctly gauge the rating balance of the submission.


Stopping Power
Stopping Power: Varies due to the ability to Charge Shoot.
Stopping Power will require an actual rating between None and Extreme as well. You can have multiple ratings here as well, but the balance will work off of the highest chosen rating for the overall balancing.


Specifics of Energy Arrow Permanence
This fires energy arrows out of it
How long does the energy arrow remain coherent after it's fired? Blasters fire energy bolts that dissipate on contact immediately, what keeps these energy projectiles from doing the same?


Power Crystals
Different crystals installed in the blade can give it different elemental abilities, or different powers.
Can you elaborate on the way these work? Specifically, how many crystals are in this blade, what kind of elemental abilities and different powers can it imbue into the energy arrows it fires? Do the elemental and force powers correspond to specific crystals? Can these crystals be switched out for other ones?

Questions like those would need answers before we can move on.

These three sentences seem contradictory to me. Can you elaborate on what exactly you meant? Is the gun as a whole powered by the Force and would thus stop functioning when a person stopped 'channelling' the Force into it or do the arrows get imbued with the Force when they are created by the weapon? And are the arrows made out of Force energy, Hard Light, or some other kind of energy?


Your Recoil field has N/A as its rating, which does not correspond to the template, could you change it to one between Extreme and None in accordance with the Recoil field on the Ranged Weapon template?

Good stuff expanding on everything and filling out the details!

See the entirety of the gun is powered by the Force including the Hard Light Technology inside of it. As a result of this, the arrows and what not would not be formed at all should they stop channeling the Force into it. The arrows are made out of a mixture of both Hard Light and Force Energy.

Sorry for the delay, busy week.

Alright, that explanation makes sense. If you add that into the Description and the Weaknesses somewhere that'd be great.
Can you add the ability to utilize Force Crystal effects to the weapon's Strengths, too?
And edit this line
Ammunition Type: The Force
to reflect the fact it uses Hard Light ammo rather than the Force.



Lastly,
This fires energy arrows out of it that can either 1. Stun 2. Knock out 3. Cause massive amounts of damage. 4. Kill 5. Destroy vehicles.

The way these two points "Cause massive amounts of damage" and "Destroy vehicles" are worded implies that one arrow or a volley could instantly blow up a tank or destroy small structures, with what is essentially small-arms fire. Having different functionalities is fine, but I'll need you to tone down the language to be less absolute when it comes to assigning damage. Something like "This fires energy arrows which can be either non-lethal or lethal. The lethal variant could be used effectively against armoured or reinforced targets and structures when used with precision." cleans it up well and doesn't sound like it forces damage on whoever's on the receiving end of this.

With the ratings fixed, it seems that you're 4 points over balance. You'll have to play around with the ratings a bit to get it to good state.

That actually brought you quite a bit below balance, 6 points under to be specific. If you wanna put those back in feel free, other than that you'll still need to add the damage altering crystals to the weapon's Strengths and the fact that this weapon is powered by the Force and would thus not work inside an ysalamiri field or other Force nullifying environment to the Weaknesses.
