Hawkeye's quiver/arrow tips??

[garhkal]

If you was going to play a PC based on the Avengers character, Hawkeye (Clint barton), what skills do you think would be needed to re-create his arrow quiver, where he can select specialty warheads, or to even MAKE those warheads...

Bow repair and demolitions is a must, but would he need bow engineering/demolitions engineering as well?
What other skills should be needed?

Pretty much. If there was any in-universe item that already had the desired functionality I'd allow the use of a repair skill, but I'd ask for an Advanced skill roll to make items that had no equivalent in-universe. Some, such as the arrows Hawkeye has that are based on Pym Particles, I might outright ban.

For the more unusual arrows (I'm looking at you, Boxing Glove arrow), I might even ask for a new Advanced (Dex) bow skill to even shoot the thing. For items where size matters, I might reduce the effect and/or range - this is particularly true for stuff like explosive arrows.

You might also get unique weapons for Star Wars - something like a cortosis filament warhead, which might release a light dusting of cortosis filaments, possibly shorting out lightsabers and similar technology.

Or, if you have a reliable source of crystals, perhaps even warheads that project a lightsaber-like 'blade' for an instant before impact. These would likely be Advanced in nature as well.

So, a partial list of what I might ask for repair rolls for:

Acid, blast, bola, cable, flare, glue, electric, net, rocket boost, smoke, suction, tear gas, incendiary, toxic gas.

Any of the gas arrows would likely have their effect reduced as compared to the hand thrown item, just because of the size constraints on an arrow.

And the boxing glove arrow? Instead of an actual boxing glove, I might take advantage of the high energy density batteries or other power sources that are available in Star Wars, and possibly use something like a one-shot (burnout) repulsor generator.

The Repulse-Hand is already available as a cyber prosthetic; the same technology should be capable of being adapted to an arrow.

A Vibro tipped arrow? For killing armored targets?

If building from pre-fab components (such as motor that rotates the quiver), then I think repair should suffice. If building from scratch, then I think engineering moves to the fore.

I actually have a character like this, but haven't spent much time on the manufacturing aspect yet.

I was thinking about converting from a basic compound bow to something like the Dathomiri laser bow for a more Star Wars-y effect.

But selective ammo is definitely fun to have.

This might help.

Rats. Completely forgot about that thread.

Didn't we also have a thread where we statted out Oliver Queen from the Arrow TV show?
