Grand Skycutter

Artifact 3 --By BrilliantRain

Appearance: This weapon looks like a four foot long boomerang made of one of the Five Magical Materials. It has a hand grip at each end and, while it is primarily balanced for throwing, it can be used as a daiklave should it be nessisary.

Powers:
||||Speed||Accuracy||Damage||Defence||Rate||Range||Minimums|| ||Ranged||+0||+2||+7L||N/A||1*||40|||| ||Melee||+3||+2||5L||+2||N/A||N/A||

Attunement: 8m (any, gets skycutter MM bonuses)

  • Boomerang Technique: The Grand Skycutter returns to the user's hand right after it finishes any ranged attack, regardless of the success or failure of the attack.
  • Boomerang Attack: When you miss someone, either through straight failure or a dodge on their part, you may make a reflexive dex+thrown roll at difficulty 4. If this roll succeeds, you may roll a second dex+thrown-3 attack at the same person. This attack approches from behind, so some defences may not apply and anyone who has never seen this attack before may be suprised. Regardless of the success or failure of this attack, the skycutter returns to the hand of the owner at the end of the round.

Comments

This was inspired by Tsukishiro's crecent moon sword (I duuno what it's actual name was) from Flame of Recca

Hmm.. it's an interesting concept, I'll admit. My only real question is should the ranged attack have rate 1? My guess would be it would be possible to "Xena" the thing, bouncing it off of multiple enemies, thus giving you a higher effective rate than the one throw per round indicated. Perhaps 2? - GregLink
