He began his path toward greatness with a single handshake, the day he graduated high school. He knew he wasn't college bound. He signed up right away for a job as a low end security guard at a local shopping center. It was then that he discovered the talent he was destined to become a legendary master of. The Art of Segging. This man could do more tricks with a Segway than your average X-Games contestant can with a skateboard or a bike. This Hero applied for jobs as a cop, or higher end security, many times. He was rejected each time due to his low intellect, unibrow, and lack of any real relevant skills. But he could Seg the shit out of some criminals. Frustrated at his career failures, he turned to the Shadows. He saved what little he could of his paychecks for months to purchase a customized telescoping lance. He would use it in combination with his segging skills to pierce the hearts of those who would stand against him.

The Knight of Segway archetype uses the vehicle ramming mechanics in conjunction with their customized telescoping lance for combat in the 6th world. The Knight may carry other weapons, such as a taser, but the lance & segway will always be his mainstay.

Paul Blart was not elite enough with a segway, at all, to qualify as a Knight of Segway.

Please tell me that's a hoax. I could never take a Segway-mounted SWAT team seriously.

I think they are not SWAT but riot control. With SMGs.

China does that too. The riot control on segways, that is.

EDIT: That may acually be a picture of the chinese practicing actually.

Yeah, they've even got an attachment to clip their riot shields in front of the Segway.

Damn, segway even has police versions, rugged terrain variants, and even a military section, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotfl.gif)

I have to say though, as much as it might look silly, a segway seems a brilliant way of staying mobile with both hands free and enough stability to aim properly. If only you could turn without using the handle, it would be almost perfect.

Riot police on segways still beats cops on a bicycle.

i still have not seen 4th ed stats for a segway...

Through an unfortunate and droll adventure, a rather insipid AI got in the segway; and is unable, or unwilling to leave it. The impressiveness of the AI never persuades the knight that he has anything less that a powerful ally, and trusty companion in his trusty machine. His ever faithful mount and companion acquired the name of Rocinante from some of his fellow runners. Thinking it had a grand and powerful sound to it, he adopted it, and proudly calls it by this name.

The "Horseman of the Apocalypse" is a Daihatsu-Caterpillar Horseman (Arsenal Page 107) that is refitted with Walker Legs, Weapon Mount Arms, and lots of weapons. Like, dripping in weapons!

Awesome? NO! It's a bloody horrorshow!

He almost convinced the other three players in the group to each buy one, and become the Four "Horseman of the Apocalypse". *Headdesk*

What about a party with a Knight of Segway, a cyborg in a supped up emotitoy, a dwarven horseman of the apocalypse, and a nartarki with shiva arms who is a little too touchy-feely for most of the women around him?

See, now, the weapon-covered Horseman should've just been War or Death.

And each of the four should have had different functions. Though, I have no idea what Famine would do.
