Creative exercise, since I’m drawing a blank and have never seen it come up in play: what would a weapon that is both Precise and Forceful look like?

Edit: Precise is a melee tag, guys. Forceful ranged weapons are easy to visualize, I’m looking for something more out of the box than that.

  1. Lightning Lash (reach, precise, forceful, dangerous, ignores armor, 0 wt): A short rod of strange, black material, spongy and somewhat flexible but with the heft of hardwood. There’s a small protrusion on one end; press it, and a whip-like length of crackling lightning snaps forth from one end of the rod.

    When you crack the lightning lash like a whip, it booms like a thunderclap. Roll+CON. On a 10+, everyone nearby must chose 2; on a 7-9, everyone nearby must choose 1.

    * Drop what they’re holding and cover their ears

    * Stagger about for a few moments, deafened and disoriented

    * Fling themselves away from you

  2. A forceful weapon requires a wide movement to land a devastating blow,

    a precise weapon requires aiming.

    Somewhere in between there might be a power fist (fallout anyone?).

    Magic seems to be the most obvious choice.

    A Staff can be used both ways, yet not at the same time.

    Tonfa?

  3. Nice responses!

    I think tonfa is my favorite suggestion so far. Perfect fit, and they don’t get enough love.

    Nunchakus are a good shout, too. And seven section staffs while we’re at it, for pretty much the same reason.
