BLOODY
CARD 200EB
EXOTIC - -1/-3 - P -
R - 1D6+3 - N/A -
N/A - VR
A standard credit card, or Trauma Team card, or library
card etc... has the edges sharpened and reinforced to a
monowire edge, then a thin cover is laid over the edge
which acts as a sheath. With or without the sheath
in place, the card appears completely normal and will
still function as so. To remove the sheath, simply
pull it off, extreme caution is recommended when using
this item, as its extreme sharpness can be quite
hazardous. With some training the card can be
thrown, but this is not recommended, losing your credit
cards gets costly.
DEATH BALLS 5eb
(From
Nomad Market)
MEL - NA - J -
E - 1D6 - NA -
NA - ST
A favorite weapon of the Raffen-Shiv due to their
versatility, low cost to make, and just plain
nastiness. To make one is simple, get a hunk of
wood and carve it into a ball, or a baseball, or
whatever, then drive really long spikes into it.
While killing someone with one of these is pretty
unlikely, you will most definitely ruin their day, and
their face. Often called nomad shuriken, these are
thrown weapons. It’s not uncommon to see two or
three tethered together and used as a bolo. These
death balls also double as very effective caltrops for
shredding tires, and sometimes a soft and hollow tennis
ball is used for the base so that more of the spikes
length is driven into the tires when the vehicle runs
over them.
KOSUGI
FOLDING SHURKEN 15eb
MEL - 0 - P - C
- 1D6 - NA - NA
- VR
These large heavy iron thrown weapons fold up for easy
and safe storage then snap into place with the flick of
a wrist. Much larger than standard shuriken, these
are a full foot across when open.
KOSUGIN NARCO SPIKE 100eb
MEL - -2 - P - C - 1d6/2 - NA - NA - VR
This heavy dart features a hollow interior, that can be loaded with the drug of the user’s choice, then pressurized with the thumb pump on the back end of the weapon. When the point strikes, it depresses just enough to inject the narcotic.
KOSUGI THROWING SPIKES AND SHURIKEN 10eb
MEL - -0 - P - C - 1 point - NA - NA - VR
Simple iron spikes designed for throwing, with tassels on the end for better flight. These come 5 at a time with a handy wrist sheath. The standard Kosugi throwing stars are 4 pointed simple affairs, but expertly balanced for stable flight and accuracy. They are typically sold in packs of three. Even with Spikes and Shuriken, Kosugi will make them custom to order (for 50eb extra), such as long throwing spikes that double as hair sticks, or shuriken that double as comb accessories. For 20eb extra you can have larger, heavier Shuriken (1d6/2 damage)
RAFFEN SHIV BOLO 50eb
(From Nomad Market)
MEL - -2 - P - C - 1D6 - NA - NA - ST
The practicality of this weapon escapes us, but folks swear they have seen at least one Raffen Shiv use it with extreme effectiveness.
RAFFEN SHIV MONGWANGA 100eb
(From Nomad Market)
MEL
- 0 - L - C -
2D6 - N/A - N/A -
ST
These incredibly wicked throwing blades have been
showing up in the hands of Raffen Shiv Raiders on the
west coast recently. They are incredibly vicious
and as effective in melee as when they are thrown.
SAMSON
THROWING HATCHET 15eb
MEL - 0 - J - C
- 1D6 - NA - NA
- VR
Perfectly weighted and balanced.
SHREDDER 45eb
(From Nomad Market)
MEL 0/-1 L P 2D6 N N ST
The shredder is another Raffen Shiv invention. It is actually two separate weapons consisting of a heavy saw bladed and a double bladed large combat knife. They can be used separately, as the saw blade typically has holes cut into it to allow it to be safely gripped, but its real deviousness comes from using them together. The double bladed knife has a small notch cut into the front edge of both blades. The saw sits between the two blades and a peg in the middle of the saw rest in the notch. Using it in this fashion allows the attacker to pull back and hurl the blade, with the leverage of an atlatl. This increases the throw range of the saw blade by 50%.
