Cool Crafting Combinations

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

Hey everyone!

With the addition of Lightsaber Hilt crafting in Endless Vigil you can now build pretty much anything that you want to (safe for vehicles I guess).

I've been playing a Gank Cyber Tech after we switched Game Masters in my group yet again, and have been having a blast.

Planning to utilize the crafting systems extensively I maxed out Mechanics pretty quick and thought to myself:

It would be so cool if I could throw FIRE FROM MY HANDS.

I look around and see that the Flame Projector has an encumberance of 6. But the Inbuilt Weapon option from crafted Cybernetics only allows for weapons of encumberance of 2 or less.

Kinda bummed out I only realised later: What if I build the Flamethrower myself as well, an use the boni to reduce the encumberance to where I need it!?

BOOM

FLAME HANDS!

What are your fun / cool / powerful solutions for crafted Items?

I'm really interested :)

If your implant allows weapons with attachments you could go with a DDC-MR6 Modular Rifle with Stripped Down and Under-Barrel Flame Projector. That would give you not only a Flamethrower in your arm, but a decent blaster as well. (base damage 7, medium range) All of this stuff should be in the Special Modifications book.

I am trying to get my GM to let my Droid tech build a Tatchikoma from Ghost in the Shell. A silhouette 2 combat droid with a hidden compartment/cockpit for me to ride in. Equipped with a rope launcher and either a small cannon or couple of blasters.

You could use the All Terrain Personal Transport walker (page 252 of Edge of the Empire) as a stat template. Generally the GM should allow you to use any existing item/vehicle in the game and simply say it looks different. Ask them if you can replace the grenade launcher with the electromagnetic harpoon listed on the T-47 airspeeder (page 263 of Age of Rebellion), this should count as a 0 hardpoint vehicle modification. (The harpoon just isn't in the weapon list, but its official stat block is available on the speeder)
