Apparently I have to approve this here

[Roku]

Basically, it's a bracer that runs from the hand, like a glove, up to the elbow. The palm absorbs blaster shots, contains the energy. It needs to be cleaned out by discharging the energy it if near full. The discharge blast can be used as a weapon too. The arm also can summon a round beam shield in the same medium as a lightsaber, though purely defensive. If you move your land through it, it feels cold to the touch but no damage. If a light saber tries to pass through the beam, it is repelled like a magnet. It just bounces right off, which effectively allows the fighter to combat jedi/sith and military weapons with one arm.

To get one, you need to buy it from the inventer and sith lord npc, Doctor Alec Caxen.

Anyway, c'mon, slaughter me with criticism.

[MikDaTv]

so... um. why not just have a personal shield?

[Gamov]

This seems very similar to Mandalorian Crushgaunts, which many people here already use to combat Jedi/Sith.

[Darth Hades]

I'm pretty sure you will get plenty of criticism.

[Roku]

Anyway, if there's similar armour, just consider it a specific model. It's not broken, its not uber... I don't see why she can't have it. -shrugs-

[Ragsmire]

Well first thing is that, just by how much detail we were given, i'd say that if you seriously want this then give it some more effort first. Tell us how it works make it as vivid as possible.

And another thing, there are no character shops, meaning to get one, people just have to say they found one, no visiting a doctor or any of that, its been a long standing rule.

[Roku]

Its in her bio, it got accepted in her bio, no none's questioned it in the rp. This whole process is assinine.

[MikDaTv]

again, why the whole arm gauntlet glove thing? you can just use a personal shield device. It goes on your belt and protects your whole body from damage. Way more useful than some kind of round shield that can apparently let your hand pass through it.

It's the difference between full protection from lightsaber and blasters and bullets to only partial protection against lightsabers and blasters.

I didn't even know such a belt existed. How is someone at all vulnurable with that thing?

[Darth Hades]

Well Roku, the next time you have a new idea, look to see if it already exits. Or ask a member here who knows alot about what already exits in the EU. If your idea is actually new then I think you should post it here.

[Roku]

Its technically new. Plus i never would have learned any of the stuff you guys said if i hadn't posted this here, so it wasn't a total waste of time.

Gah, I wish everything was less set in stone and more make it up as you go along.

[Zilfer]

best stick some hours around wookieepedia and you'll come out fine. you'll often find interesting things you may want to use in the future! xD

oh and the shields don't make you invunerable because they eventually overheat.

Hah, so the arm is superior in some circumstances.
