[SIZE=9pt]Description:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] These Throwing spikes were created by Nikias, similar to how he had created a set of ballbearings. These throwing spikes are mainly to utilize in his skills in Ballistakinesis. These will be Nikias' secondary form of ranged attack due to his dislike of slugthrowers and blaster rifles. Each Spike is exactly 6 inches long and weighs at least 2.27kg. Throwing spikes would usually never weigh this much, but due to just how heavy beskar is the weight has been significantly increased. As such these things are near impossible to destroy and can deal with lightsaber [/SIZE]wielders[SIZE=9pt]. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Nikias created only twenty meaning that they are exceedingly rare and will have to be retrieved after combat as Beskar is nowhere near a cheap material to come by. Depending on the power and skill of the users these spikes can be propelled with extreme force being just as useful in combat as a slugthrower or blaster weapon if not more so. These are useless against the same types of armor that slugthrowers are and aren't, however the weight behind them along with the propulsion have more kinetic force behind the strikes. The kinetic force is all focus on the sharpened tips of the spikes making it easier for these to pierce armor that slugthrowers usually couldn't. Along with the weight of Beskar make these a viable offense. As with any regular throwing weapon with a sharpened edge this can pierce flesh as well and will but due to its smoothness its easier for one to pull out. [/SIZE]
