Homebrew weaponry and gadgets

By zachattack2, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

I didn't see any homebrew gear and weaponry threads. I figured we could use a place for any homebrew gear you'd like to share with the world and get feedback on.

Here is some stuff I've made up that you are free to use if you wish.

Bal'jrok'dah Sword. AKA: Vampire Blades, Breath-stealers

The Bal'jrok'dah is a rare type of blade originating from the planet called Tarx'lan by its inhabitants. A race of human warrior hunters. On occasion, a Tarx'lanni Shaman will craft a blade for a warrior chosen by the gods of the hunt. So that he may draw strength from the blood of his foes and take their power as his own. The blades are made with rituals that draw upon the dark side of the Force. As blood is shed by the blade, the dark side channels the life force of the dying opponent into the wielder, and effect amplified if the wielder, or victim, is a force wielder. The blade is as capable of sundering the spirit as well as flesh.

Because of these qualities, these swords are highly sought after by followers of the dark side and those who hunt force sensitives. Most swords in circulation are either owned by, or have been owned by, a Tarx'lanni Bounty Hunter. It is almost unheard of for an outsider to have been crafted his own Bal'jrok'dah by a Shaman.

The user may spend dark side points to cause one additional wound, ignoring soak, per point spent to a living target hit by a successful attack with this sword.

(I'm not 100% sure this works in line with other force powers)

A folding compact collapsable stock that can be added to any pistol and allow it to be fired using Range(H) skill.

Nice one. That seems like a good mod options. An inverse of the Pistol Grip.
