Historical Weapons, Circa 280 087 ALSD


The following are the Electran Racial Weapons in the era of this campaign.

Republic Sabre: A long, slender sword that has been proudly used by generations of soldiers in the defense of the Republic. 40, 1d10, 5

Steeltek Blade: Masterfully crafted using secret Electran forging techniques, this sword holds an edge surpassed by none other in the known galaxy. 50, 2d8, 6

The Spherans have this racial weapon at this point in time.

Half-Lance: A long-hafted spear with a razor-sharp, armor-piercing tip, the half-lance can be truly be a deadly weapon in the hands of a trained wielder. 60, 3d6, 7

The following weapons exist, but have an additional +10 on their base to-hit difficulty: Blade-Hammer, Battle-Scythe, Hammer of Justice, Zeikfird Blade, Great Scimitar.

The following 'modern' weapons do not exist at all: Cyber-spear, Thunder Blade, Vitex Blade, Energy Lash

Deflection Rules: Weapons in this era are not as sturdy as those in the modern Spherusian age. They can still be used for 'Deflection' (see Special Weapon Moves rule sheet), but each time a deflection is successful, the weapon has a 20% chance of being shattered and thus rendered useless. Zirlithium weapons, of course, are not subject to this risk.
