SPECIAL FEATURES

STRENGTHS

WEAKNESSES

• Ion: Ion or Electromagnetic Pulses run the risk of permanently turning the internal components of the Shamisen to a brick except for the hidden Slug Thrower or the Blade. As a result, they would render most of the features inoperable.
• Lightsabers: As the Electric Shamisen is not made out of, nor does it incorporate any form of Lightsaber Resistance any strike of a Lightsaber would be enough to destroy this item.
• Destroying the Strings: Without the ability to play the instrument, the Slug Thrower will not shoot, nor will the Mini Missile.
• Vulnerability to the Force: The Force is something the Slug Thrower has no defense against.
• Melting the Blade: Intense Heat is effective against it.
• Can be used against him: The Shamisen has no features to prevent someone from stealing the weapon, and using it against him. This makes it a threat should someone manage to get their hands on it and turn it on him.
• Not a Good Shield: Blaster Bolts could do some serious damage to the Shamisen.
• Slug Thrower Rounds directed at it could do some serious damage to the Shamisen.

Material:

You need to list some sort of material for it.

• Hidden Blade: He's hidden a Vibro Blade inside it.
• Hidden Slug Thrower: This has a slug thrower built into it.
• Hidden Blaster: This has a blaster built into it.
• Built in Missile Launcher: The Shamisen contains a single missile he can shoot with a song played on the Shamisen.
• Can be used to make a bow and arrow.
• Pressor Beam
• Tractor Beam

That is a lot of weapons with the question of where the space for the actual instrument is.

 

[Xan]

Krass Wyms That is why it is larger than typical Mandalorian Musical Instruments, and heavier.

 

[Krass Wyms]

Xan

It is much larger then a bes'bev the traditional mandalorian flute... but you haven't given me reason why you need to pack so much into it. You have 10 strengths to 3 weaknesses... and the weaknesses are minimal at best as your recoil is listed as average so recoil as a weakness is not that effective. 1 substantial weakness for every 2 strengths.

Also you are one rating oveer the balance and will need to adjust that.

 

[Xan]

Krass Wyms Added weaknesses, and cut a couple of strengths.

Xan

Your ratings have not changed you are still over by one

And ou added situational weaknesses. I said substantial ones that can be used at any time not with specific circumstances.

 

[Xan]

Krass Wyms I've cut a few more of the strengths from it, as well. Hopefully that works, as I'm not sure what weaknesses to add.

I repeat for the third time.

• Ion Weaponry: Ion Weaponry could be used to short out the electronics and disable many of the features of it.
• Lightsabers: Since he has no access to any Lightsaber Resistant Materials, he has no way to make it resistant to them.
• Sonics: Sonics could be used to destabilize the Electric Shamisen and ruin the Electronics.
• Anti Technology: Anti Tech effects would be effective against it.
• The Force: It has no protection against the Force.

Okay again these are situational weaknesses. You are not going to use this against someone all of the time who has the ability to factor these in. That is 5/7 weaknesses that are non weaknesses. The playing music requires power is not a weakness either so 6/7 weaknesses aren't balanced against the strengths you have.

Krass Wyms Please move back to Pre Factory.
