MELEE WEAPONS
OTHER MELEE WEAPONS
BARBED WHIP 10eb
(From Nomad Market)
MEL 0 J C 1D6+3 NA NA ST
As if we needed more reasons to hate the Raffen Shiv, this is one their preferred methods of interrogating their prisoners, or for torturing anyone really. Nothing more than three strips of heavy leather with bits of barbed wire added on, they will strip flesh bar to the bone. They will even shred skinweave and other soft armor. (The bards remove a point of sp every time they hit, and 2 points if they do up to 50% of the SP rating in damage, and an additional point on top of normal rules for every increment of SP lost after penetration. The Aldecaldo and Jode nations have a standing 2000 dollar bounty on the head of any Raffen Shiv who carries one of these.
