Invent a new ranged weapon.

[PlaneWalker]

Weapon name: Azure Eye Blade

How many hands needed: One handed or two handed, depending on size.

Weapon Base: metal, exotic.

Projectile: Magic beam.

Type of impact: Energy-based.

What it looks like: A long straight sword with a crystal near the hilt.

Description:  The ultimate weapon for any swordman.  The blade itself is actually forged in two interlocking halves, the two halves contains a notch at the base holds a special crystal that draws their power from the Azure Sun.  A trigger is fitted onto the handle which when pressed will charged the crystal.  Upon release, the two halves seperates to allow the crystal to unleash a magical blast before the two halves closes again.

Strengths: Melee and Ranged.  Unlimited ammo.

Weaknesses: Long cool down.  A chance of jamming when the blade\'s durability is low that\'ll damage the blade and reduce its durability even more (crystal fires and hit the blade itself).

Costs: Expensive to purchase and deteriorate rapidly due to the mechinism that supports the entire blade.

Weapon name: Striker/Slinger/Slicer/Piercer   Stinger! :]

How many hands needed: One

Weapon Base: Variety of metals, usually combined with leather and other organic materials for comfort and ease of use

Projectile: Light-[Insertcolorhere] rods, about 3mm thick, magically created/made of magic (or tech so advanced it looks like magic, but that\'s unlikely)

Type of impact: Armor piercing, depnding on quality

What it looks like: A disc doming out ~3cm from the hand of smooth gemstone, surrounded by a metal ring (which covers the outside edge about 1/5 of the way in).  The containing ring attaches to the holding methods.

Strengths:
-Projectiles are fast!
-Can be devastating, depending on quality
-Light, portable, easily concealed

Weaknesses:
-Gemstone disc may need to be recharged, or may be what forms into the projectiles (disposable and must be refilled)
-Completely Useless if used up


Costs: Gemstone discs may be used up physically as projectiles, or require recharging with mana.  Diffcult to produce, may backfire on creator.  Very expensive to acquire, therefore reserved for those who can afford it.

Control: Willed.

Yeah, I like Monketh\'s the best. Thats awesome. Unfortunately the only \"original\" ideas I have are either not original or are too close to other ones already posted. Actually I think that magic headband is a pretty good idea too.

Name: Ralohu (I just made up some name )

History: Its a rare assasins tool sold in the black market.  It is quite cheap to buy but its a hard find and the needles cost a huge amount of money.  It is carryed in the other hard of an assasin who carrys a dagger.  The needles are actually a rare type of metal which is solulabe in blood. When the metal gets in it weakens the muscles until they lose all power and are unable to work.  The needles an only affect a small area so the assasins aim for a certain area usually the leg to stop them from moving, the arms to stop them from fighting, or the heart to stop it and kill them. The weapon is quite complicated with many gears and such in the body. When one needle is shot it must be wound again which is done by twisting the button used to shhot clockwise.  It then must be reloaded by sticking another needle into the hole.  This weapon is usually used in harded jobs or if the target is very strong.

Hands: One at all time except when winding

Base: Metal, Wood, Leather somtimes added where it is held by the owner to stop spliters and so finger print magic will show prints blurry

Projectile: A small needle almost two inches in length which is made of a rare metal that stops muscles from working.

Impact: Needle must cut skin on impact and must be near target area or is usless

Looks: Looks like a short fat stick with a button  on the top and a tiny hole in the end.

(bah, sorry I can draw stuff )
It is made to look like a stick since it is illegal.

Strengths:
- Small
- One handed
- Makes kills easyer
- Fast working
- Easy to hide
- Easy operation

Weaknesses:
- Illegal
- Hard to find
- Expensive needles
- Must use two hands to wind again
- Must hit target area
- Short range

Costs: The actual shooting part is cheap but rare and must be bought through the black market.  The needles cost a huge amount of money and are hard to find.

Name: Flosh (Comes from the voice when used)

History: A Xacha alchemist called Sha\'lon got task to make weapon for assasination of an important noble. The weapon had to be easy to use and powerful enough to have range longer than 600 meters. He pondered for few night and got an idea. He made a sealed \"cannon\" which had water inside it and one set of crystals sealing and one set amplifying the light. It also had mirrors directing the light to the water and after it there was small space for bullet (round) , lock and barrel. Using the gun was pretty simple (but time consuming) but it had to be loaded first. It had to gather the energy of the Azure Sun for five minutes and then it was ready to use. Then one had to mutter command word to make the crystals work. Soon the water started boiling and the pressure inside the gun grew. A marker showed when it was ready to use. The user aimed using two finely cut crystals and pressed a button on top of the gun. Unfortunately this type of gun was not advanced enough because of the complicated build, long loading time, hard attaching and aiming and the overheating of the barrel so only few of these guns were produced.

Materials: Metal, Crystals and some variable components.

Projectile: Perfectly shaped bullet stone. It could be edited to shoot some kind of bolts.

Impact: Very deadly impact. Could even crack Kran\'s natural armor easily from 100 meters.

Looks: Long cannonlike gun with scope and round tank like structure as its base. Also has system for attaching it.

Strenghts:
-Long range
-Powerful
-Silent
-Aiming is easy and accurate for skilled users

Weaknesses:
-Expensive
-RARE
-Attaching and loading
-Hard to use without skill
-Almost impossible to conceal somehow. (And not very portable)

Cost: Just sign here with blood.

hmm... only idea which doesn\'t tell me \"Hack n Slash\" is the Syzerian\'s one. But if I get it right, the arrow feathers would be problem when shooting...

Besides I don\'t think you can make 100% original weapon that is actually useful... otherwise someone would make it in real life in middle ages... the times when people actually had some experience in shooting those things...

umm... and what is wrong with the standard ranged weapons again?

A javalin.

Did you read the title of this thread?...


Back on-T:Anywho, I like mine, but that\'s probably because I created it.  It\'s original for the most part, but over-powerful.  My other favorite: the Striking Frog.

[PlaneWalker]

Hey!  Someone like my idea!  I\'m happy.

Monketh, as for your design, I think the cost of using it might well balance the overpowering problem (especially the possibility of shooting yourself).

However I\'m a bit confused, is the projectile a rod shaped or disc shaped?

[Efflixi Aduro]

Hmm Drak called mine hack and slash.... I tried to come up with somthing that would do the exact opposite

[SirTokesalot]

Yes i read the title of the thread monketh.
Would u have me open a whole new thread just to say i like javs?
So u have nothing better to do then flame me?
there othere ideas that clame to be origial but arnt really
 yet u didnt flame them.
I also read what range weapons that were listed on PS website and didnt see javs.
  So shot me for binging it up with your new weapon,
 ouch ouch .

[Moogie]

Calm down please. Monketh was not flaming anyone. Perhaps he misunderstood you, confusing \"Javelin\" with \"Spear\" perhaps?- As javelins are infact ranged weapons.

If you want to have fisticuffs with other posters, please take it to PMs... thank you.

[PlaneWalker]

Monketh was saying that the Topic is NEW and the first post states that the weapon should be unique and original.  Monketh is just saying that javelin, while a ranged weapon, is not unique nor original.

The title of the thread is \"Invent a new ranged weapon.\"  You made no effort to do so, unlike the other unoriginal posters, who did make such an effort.  
There are other threads for requesting what weapons should be in the game farther down this forum, it was my implied suggestion that you should have posted your request in one of them.  Javelins should be discussed for being implemented, because they\'re a valid ranged weapon with realistic use and were seen in that time-period, but this isn\'t the right place for that.  Perhaps I should have written that along with a link to a weapon suggestion thread?  If there isn\'t one, however, there is no reason why one should not be created.  (Thus, unless it\'s spam, the mods wouldn\'t seek vengeance.)

I do have better things to do than flame you.  Suggesting because of a perceived flame that I nothing better to do is faulty logic, comparable to Seytra\'s spin on one of my political statements to twist it to how he viewed it.  (Thankfully, he only did this once. By using synonyms, you can completely alter a statement.)

Now; for the other part of the post:

~PlaneWalker posted:

Rod-shaped, very thin.  Indeed, I think they should be made out of the disc itself.  This solves a few problems.  First, it makes the projectiles physical.  Second, it solves balancing issues a bit, because it is basically disposable.
