Hello,

A player is going to be a smuggler/gambler. The build is going to be a smart alien race who does know and bets the odds. While things such as card counting can be done in his sleep, combat is unknown. Still if planning to clean out a Hutt casino, one should have a weapon.

Stealing a plot from a John Wayne movie, I have this idea. A partner of the Duke's can not shoot. The Duke gets him a sawed off shotgun as a pistol. The idea, it would hit something it was pointed at. Some versions of the DL-21 blaster have a flared muzzle to scatter the blast, like Dengar's. I think it would be a blaster pistol with blast. While it may help with hitting something, it may not always be what he was aiming at.

I also thought about a bryar pistol. It is described as a sawed down rifle and accurate, but not very powerful and a charged up blast drains the ammo, If the player does get into blaster fight he will need damage and ammo to correct for no blaster skill. So I don't know about it.

Any ideas for a weapon?

Thanks.

The Beam Splitter Attachment from Forged in Battle and/or Gadgets and Gear can be added to pretty much any blaster weapon and gives the weapon Blast while reducing the range. And since you can activate blast to score a hit even if you miss, it works for the aiming-impaired.

The Amplifying Chamber attachment (Collapse of the Republic) gives you Blast without reducing the range, needs only one hard point and costs much less than the alternatives.

It made the Spread Barrel and the Beam Splitter attachment completely redundant.

Thinking blaster with blast 1 or 2. The version used by the Empire in Return of the Jedi did not have a flared muzzle so thinking regular blaster. Others such as Dengar used a flared muzzle to create a scatted blast. So to say a version of the blaster or a blaster that has been modified?
