A new kind of lightsaber technology!

(*Humour warning*)

As mentioned before I'm currently playing a Twi'lek Jedi Padawan in a new Star Wars game. In the progress of an adventure we had to take out a minor Quarren crimelord who was running a casino on a backwater industrial planet.

My idea was to pose as a dancer looking for work, so I could get close to him. As security was kinda tight, and a lightsaber is pretty much the only weapon my character can handle, I had to get subtle...

Now my dilemma was: what would you expect to find in the purse of an exotic dancer that:

a) looks non threatning (at least in a weapony sort-of-way)...
b) has an energy signature...
c) has the approximate shape and size of a lightsaber...
d) you don't really wanna examine too closely...

After some slight modifications by a Verpine technician we had a brand-new kind of technology: The Vibro-Lightsaber! Very Happy

Kind of a hilarious situation when my character wanted to "persuade" the crimelord to surrender, pushed the wrong button and the thing suddenly goes "Brrrrrrrr" instead of "Bzzzzzz"... Rolling Eyes

And yes, I know Jedis have been expelled from the order for lesser offenses. I hope nobody will find out... Twisted Evil

That's much more creative than what I'd have done. In one of the novels I read (I forget which one) Luke mentioned that the lightsaber tends to show up in weapon scans as a sort of shaving device.

I'd have gone along that route but this makes for a much better story!

Ah, the things women can get away with that a man couldn't. A crime lord finds one of those in a guy's pocket, he might just shoot him on principle. Laughing

I liked that you could geta verpine to modify it, my question is how do you explain what it is pretending to be to a Verpine?

"um..eh its a sort of exotic toy"

I continually get a chuckle out of this idea. +1 for originality and humor! Smile

I wonder if Gry is going to post stats for this thing? Smile

And do the make training ones so the Padawans don't hurt themselves too much trying to master it?

Call it a "Vibe-Sabre"
