Shocker (Melee Weapon)

[Yunru]

Simple melee weapon, 1d4 Lightning damage, light, finesse

At its core is a crystal which delivers a sharp jolt on impact.

Formed of a simple crystal and plate, this weapon delivers a sharp jolt at the press of a button.

The jokes involved would make this unusable at my table.

Well that's a shock.

Watt is this madness?

Certainly could use a 'Shakes my Head' button.

It's a dagger that does lightning damage instead of piercing damage and cannot be thrown. Better than a dagger because it would do full damage to creatures resistant to non-magical weapon damage (since it's doing lightning damage and relatively few creatures are resistant or immune to that). Worse than a dagger because you can't throw it.

Depending on it's price, it would be a must-have backup weapon at low levels, until the players get access to magic weapons.

A weapon that looks like it's gonna hit you in the front, but surprises you with a backstab?

I don't like the press of a button bit. Just feels too high tech.

I'd have it deliver that jolt when pressure is applied by a successful hit.

Eh, it's just flavour text. I struggle to explain magictech, but it's basically a magi-static taser.
