For Day 8 of Ratmas, we, as a collective site membership, will be creating a new weapon that will be integrated into the Hunger Games. On this thread, please reply with any suggested weapons and general attack structure (e.g. Sword: slicing attacks like shallow cuts and deep gashes, plus some stabbing attacks and some severing attacks including the instakill "Severed Head" — or something of that nature; if you can only come up with the weapon itself and not the attacks, just put the weapon.)

Try to come up with a type of weapon that can be used for several variations (e.g. knife, dagger, hunting knife, machete, cleaver, switchblade, etc) and if you can think of any that could be included under the same dice code, list them as well, please.

How about a scythe? I could see it having some of the same attacks as a sword, like deep gash and whatnot. An insta could be cut in the jugular or something.

edit: I also think we could have a khopesh. Its a sword that is shaped like a hook.

Hear me out on this one. We see guns on television and they are like whoa!deadly, but that's not really the case, especially if you've never used one. Throw in a limitation like 10 bullets, and you'd have yourself another bow and arrow, essentially, only with much messier results xD

You could have different variety of guns, or even a crossbow, that would suit this particular set. Some ideas.

Miss (and a lot of these)
Grazing flesh
Blasted off ear/finger/toe
Shattered kneecap
Buckshot/shrapnel wound

And then obviously a few insta's through the chest/neck/head ^^[/ul][/size]

Throwing Axes. Throwing Axes are different from regular axes but can be used as an axe but are noticeably smaller. They are thrown in a way similar to pitching and can easily be lodged in someone's body. They could slide long gashes along someone's body or be stuck inside someones chest or other body parts. They are much more effective than throwing knives and that is why they could be a separate roll.

I also suggest blowguns and darts.

Maybe even shields which could double as armor and be used to strike opponents. They could have a defense roll that blocks attacks on a certain body part for the next round of attacks on them.

Fighting fans would also be a nice addition. They can cut tributes in a away similar to a knife but have a limitation to slicing and won't leave deep wounds like a knife.

Pick-axes, maybe? These would have stabbing attacks and would be much more effective in cutting deep wounds and slicing arteries.

scimitar!
It's a curved sword that is quite light. It's sharp on one side, and the other is thicker and blunter to give it power in a swing. They are one handed, so two can be used at a time even. It also looks completely badass.

"Gladiator Scissor" - It would probably have it's own classification, most likely inflicting more damage than a sword, but less of a predictably level than one. Which means there'd be more insta's and higher damage, but more would be misses, and maybe it could even turn on the person and inflict damage on the user? (Probable attacks: Deep Gash to body part of opponent, shallow Gash to body part of opponent, severed body part of opponent, miss, deep gash to self, shallow gash to self, severed body part of self.)

Other items that could use this technique:
-Urumi (Sword Whips)
-Swiss Dagger (Due to a thin handle and long blade)

I think that Hook Swords would be interesting!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_sword

-Double the pain because they are usually used as a pair
-Deep stabs, cuts, and gashes
-Scratches
-Shallow cuts and stabs
-End can be used to pry tings apart(Similar to a crowbar)
-ummm, some pain would definitely be associated with them

Poison Darts/Darts: Miss, Shallow wounds with progressing side effects - as in if you are struck in certain places you have a certain amount of posts before you become immobile or unable to retaliate. (Example - Shallow would on calf = five posts to poison sets in, Dart to head/chest = two posts to inst-kill.

Some kind of power that when thrown into the wind degrades flesh. (Example - Large loss of flesh to the calf, great degration of the arm or even insta-death when inhaled. Will more greatly affect places where open wounds are found.)

Fire-missiles - would burn the flesh of person attacking.

Bombs/Other explosives - Large damage or insta-death to opponent, however has equal chances of killing the tribute them self or their allies.

A kind of liquid that when set on the ground can cause people to fall, slip, slow down, ect. Basically a whole lot of fall-overs, grazes, broken limbs and an insta-kill for a broken neck.

To those of you that are suggesting things that would use the same dice roll as something we already have: thanks, and I'll throw your suggestions in, perhaps, but the goal here's to create a totally new set of weapons that'll use dice=200+13000^^

It could take aspects from both the sword and the spear attacks. Since it is double ended, perhaps you could incorporate a way to go two swipes with the blades in one attack?
