This is my character in the future, but she needs this whip, a la shadowrun, to make it happen:
I've asked around ICly about these and have been told they aren't manufactured in Withmore, but my sources could be wrong. I've only been around a month so If so, sorry for the redundancy. Here's what I was thinking:
Weapon: Cyber Whip
Weapon type: Ranged.
Variations: Monofilament whip, Monowhip, Cyberwhip
Modifications: Hardened filament, electrified filament, improved grip, razor filament
Advantages:
-A melee weapon used as a ranged attack.
-Useful for keeping distance between yourself and melee opponents.
-Uses cutting damage and effects
-Can be used to grapple, disarm from a distance.(Dedalus).
-Can be modified to be stronger, sharper, steadier to hold onto, or to electrocute your opponents.
-May someday be like the NAILZ implants. More cyberware is good.
Disadvantages:
-Useless in Melee/hand to hand combat. Might as well use a Prog.
-Can be disarmed by a quicker/stronger opponent if used to disarm/grapple. They can basically turn the tables on you.
-Make the modifications illegal. More RP. More consequences if caught with them.
-Make them expensive, too.
-Yes. I'm aware this is a little passe and cliched, but retro can be refreshing, too.
Without that, I am not sure how would they fit in. Cool for sure, but which skill do they fall into? What stats etc?
Or sell functionless switchwhips in the phallus palace.
