Well, I suppose you could make a monofilament chainsaw into a weapon focus. Might make it a viable weapon, too.

Congrats and thank you, you've just spawned an NPC in my head. The reborn spirit of Fast Eddie, a local St. Louis pool shark Legend. Fast Eddie played pool like no one's busines. He could masse all he wanted, bank of sides that don't even exist in our space-time and if he wanted, he could just yell at the table and billard balls would put themselves away because.. frag, he's Fast Eddy, there's an ettiquite involved. Ok, he wasn't that good, but you get my drift. I see a poolshark in that model, making bets, sharking players. His secret? His pool cue, enchanced with Orichalcum. He's an Adept. A Billiards Adept. Oh, that just cinches it. He's so gonna pop up in my noir-and-pulp-flavored Underwold crime-themed campaign. And if this post boggels... it's 4am. Forgive. |

Since this seems to be needed again:
You don't need to have Orichalcum anywhere in or on your weapon focus. You never have in any edition ever. The only time any edition said you needed orichalcum in any way was in the SR3 basic book that said that orichalcum was used in the construction of weapon foci - but it has always been the case that reagents used in focus construction could be burned up next to the item in addition to being incorporated into the item. So there has never ever been a time when you couldn't make a weapon focus out of a plastic bag or a monofilament whip. And you've never had to spray orichalcum on it or anything. -Frank |
