Melee Weapons

[Divergent Reality]

Original Chain Shields were based off an archaic Battlemech weapon. In desperate times flail mowers were strapped to the arm of a conscripted industrial machine. To increase their meager performance the motors were activated in battle, allowing them to shred anything they bashed with their shield. This man portable version uses cutting edge mechanics found in Chainswords to twirl a sextet of chains to deflect blows and rip apart anything struck by the weapon.

The chains of the Chain Shield can coil up making it easy to conceal, raising the TN to discover it by 10.

Carbon-fiber Reinforced Fingernails are unique to the upper-class of the Capellan Confederation. Those of wealth and culture will grow the fingernails of the last three digits on their hands out to ten centimeters, then decorate them with gems and gold leaf. Those with a particular inclination can then reinforce these nails with carbon fibers, turning them into razor-sharp claws capable of tearing through flesh and leather.

Dire Scythe	Melee	4k2 R	8	Rare	Double, Returning, Throwing, Unbalanced

Popular among vizards, the dire scythe basically resembles a conjoined pair of its namesakes, or a staff with a hooked blade at either end, oriented in opposite directions. It's balanced carefully so that it will return to the hand when thrown, not so much for parrying attacks. High-quality variants actually do look like proper scythes locked together, able to be detached and used comfortably as either two separate weapons or a single double-ended one; such variants typically forgo the scythe's power field generation in favor of a super-miniaturized EM coupler to make up for the loss of its throwing balance.

Omni Claw
The Omni Claw is where some people think the Shakarn take their obsession with sonic weaponry too far. With a high-powered sonic blast generator built into the gauntlet portion of the weapon, it is capable of dealing surprising levels of damage in (or on) the right hands.

Reverb Dagger
The Reverb Dagger is another example of Shakarn sonic weapons technology. With a frequency generator in the hilt and advanced detectors for resonant frequencies buried in the blade, the Reverb Dagger tears through armour far better than its size would imply.

Omni Claw	Unarmed	Melee	0k4 R	4	Mythic Rare	Halting, Brawling

Name	Type	Damage	Pen	Availability	Special
Plug-In Blades	Ordinary	3k2 R	0	Rare	Tearing, Fragile, Replacements

Plug-In Blades: Super hardened steel blades designed for ease of production and the ability to tear through a target. While the actual blade is rather flimsy, they come in sets of 6 so if a blade snaps another can be set in the handle of the blade. Plug-In Blades also have the ability to be mounted to a 3D Maneuver Gear for ease of use in slaying giant foes.

Fragile(-2): If an Enemy's resilience and armor completely negates the damage of your attack, the blade shatters. Tearing still applies, even if this happens.

Replacements(+1): After a blade shatters, you may insert a new one into the handle as a Ready on your turn, Quick Draw applying as normal.

Porting it in the thread since the catalog's a bit of a mess. Sorry.

Shield
Name	Type	Damage	Pen	Avail	Special
Crypt Pata	Melee	2k2 R	3	Rare	Armored, Defensive

Created by a culture obsessed with the dead, Crypt Patas are intentionally forged to resemble coffins with large blades protruding from the bottom. Rumors have it that the bones and ashes of loved ones would traditionally be sealed within the coffins, that way their spirits could watch over the user in battle and protect them. The former claim has yet to be conclusively confirmed. The latter is all but assuredly complete hogwash. While noticeably unwieldy when used as weapons, even in exalt hands, they make for excellent shields, both primarily due to the size and heft of the coffins. Crypt Patas are typically forged in pairs, and artifact versions in the same magical material can be bought as such for only one additional dot.

The average grand daiklave is tall enough for its crossguard to stand at eye level with your average adult human.

Someone, somewhere, said this will not do.

Chain
Name	Type	Damage	Pen	Avail	Special
Chain Glaive	Melee	3k3 R	4	VRare	Reach, Tearing, Two Hands, Unbalanced

An often overlooked member in the broad family of chainblade weaponry, the Chain Glaive (sometimes - bafflingly - called a "Chain Halberd") is a weapon no less capable of causing horrific bloodshed than its kin. With its elongated haft and double-edged design, the Chain Glaive fares well at violently hacking and thrusting from an advantageous distance, much to the expense of its defensive prospects. This aggressive focus, however, makes it a favorite for some bands of Tieflings and Orks, who have their own iterations on its construction.

Atlatl Javelin
An atlatl javelin uses the leverage from an attached stick shaped to hold the javelin to throw it much greater distances. However the projectiles used are far more specialized for ranged combat alone.

A massive construction of plasteel and rocket components, and a testament to insanity and desperation, the Magnum Gauntlet is a weapon few reasonable cutters would ever dare to use without exceptionally good reason. Where its predecessor, the Jet Gauntlet, put users at risk of severe burns, anyone handling the Magnum risks losing the arm entirely in a burst of shrapnel, burning fuel, and viscera. Repeat users typically have an explicit need for the staggering power on offer, and have often already lost their original arm. Possibly a bionic one, or two, as well. If the Magnum Gauntlet would jam when using Trigger, apply the effects of the Unsafe property with the X damage type

Basketballs (Throwing)

Basketballs
While far more likely to be used in sports than as weapons, few have still taken to using B-balls as thrown weaponry. Using a basketball in melee just means you bounce it off of them at close range, too close to miss catching


Soccerball- Whether because of budget or a ban, soccerballs are sometimes used as a substitute. “It’s a FIFA.”


Basic - Standard equipment, nuffin’ to it. “Basketballs are contraband - don’t get caught.”


Spiked - When Orks play , things can get a little rough. “This ancient is covered in spikes.”


Mystic - Undisputed proof that was created by the ancient Syrne. “Ancient magics flow through this .”

Barbed Whip
A cruel whip, covered in sharp protruding spikes along the length that rip into flesh and produce copious amounts of blood.

Flail
Name	Type	Damage	Pen	Avail	Special
Barbed Whip	Melee	2k2 R	0	Rare	Flexible, Reach, Ripper, Unwieldy

Spiked Greatmace
A heavy mace with discreet long spikes flanking the top and bottom half of the head. Long enough to penetrate a victim front-to-back, these spikes infrequently carry away arms, legs, or oozing chunks of flesh. For one with the strength, a body impaled upon the head can serve as a temporary battlefield trophy.

Ripper Chainaxe
A brutal chainaxe with larger hook shaped teeth, a frequent modification by the champions of Khorne. The likeness of a daemon quaffing blood is sometimes applied to the plating surrounding the axe head.

Spiked Shield
A simple shield covered in protruding spikes. A trap for incoming weapons quickly becomes a savage rebuff, the spikes prepared to riddle a foe with holes.
