Opale Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Aloha 'veryone I recently watched some fun chinese martial arts movies with friends, and I got a good laugh. One of the character was having his long hair put in a braid, and there was a vicious dart/small blade at the end of it, so he could use it for surprise moves to slice his adversaries by twirling moves. So it got my imagination working. how would you (cheaply if possible) construct such a thing ? Not only to made damage by the way, as it seems to be a good way to distract a foe Opale, must get my hair longer to try this ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQuestionMan Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 +3 OCV, Deceptive Attack, IIF, extra Limb, stretching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakboy6117 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Buy it as a chain whip 1d6 HKA or a Kusari 4d6 HA if you use a weight instead of a sharp blade. and custom weapons element make it restrainable and maybe an IIF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Are going to grab people with the hair Opale? Because that is really the only reason I can see why to use extra limb for. P.s. please let us know what toy decide on cause Im curious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opale Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 No, there is no need to grab someone, just to slice someone face with a vicious blade tied to the hair and Yes, I'm working on something for the Vibora Bay moving on my campaign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massey Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Yeah, there are a lot of ways to do this. +3 OCV, 2 charges. You can get in two good surprise attacks before they figure out what you're doing. After that, you can still hit them with the weapon, but it's no more effective than if you were holding it in your hand. Maybe something like that.

steriaca Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 What mammsy said, plus remember it is a simple Hand Killing Attack, OIF (hidden till it is first used, gains a temporary IIF till it is used for the first time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 The 'ranged' comes from Streching, No Noncombat Strech, Restrainable (at the -1/4 level...grab braid or not enough room to twirl it). You don't need 'Extra Limb' for it, unless you can strike with it without the blade in it and cause damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need 'Extra Limb' for it, unless you can strike with it without the blade in it and cause damage. So why even bother with stretching at all? Are you going to add str to the attack?

Ninja-Bear Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 I just watched a kung fu movie where the villians que (hair braid) was so strong he could kill people with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Their is no 'official' rules about Concelable and/or Disguised Focus. My take on it is this: they don't increase or decrease the cost of the focus limitation itself. Obvious Focus are seen and noted as 'that is where the power comes from', while Inobvious Focus you cannot tell that the item is the power. Conceled simply means that it is hidden from view till used, but can be found. Once used, it becomes obvious what it is and where the power comes from. Disguised, on the other hand, is not obvious that it could be as the power use till it is used. Both cases, someone with knowledge of the item and what it can do will prepar for it, if he can. (The benefits and the drawbacks cancel each other out). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
