Message: <blockquote data-quote="kronos182" data-source="post: 8820025" data-attributes="member: 6668634">Tau'ri Staff Weapon M-566Similar in apperance to the Jaffa staff weapon, slightly thicker and not as ornately decorate, but the plasma blaster end doesn't split open, it is a solid ovid shape where the barrel is, the other end has a larger, reinforced end with slightly protruding flanges. This makes the weapon heavier than the Jaffa weapons, but also less prone to damage due to the reinforcements. The non barrel bludgeoning end has a concealed stunner for nonlethal combat, but can equally be used to crush a target's skull. Also concealed is a retractable blade. While the plasma blaster isn't as powerful as the Jaffa weapon, it does have better range and can scale damage slightly, but also doesn't deal area damage like the original staff weapon. The M-566 was designed by Stargate Command to replace the staff weapons used by Free Jaffa that couldn't obtain or reproduce more after the defeat of the Gou'ald System Lords, as the weapon is designed similar enough to the original so the Jaffa would require very little training in their use.Damage: 3d10 / 1d8 / 1d6 / SpecialCritical: 20 / 20 / 19-20x2Damage Type: Fire / bludgeoning / slashing or piercing / SpecialRange Increment: 60 feet / melee / melee / MeleeRate Of Fire: S.Magazine: 50 Int.Size: Large.Weight: 10 lb.Purchase DC: 23Restriction: Military (+3)Rules: The M-566 requires Personal Firearms Proficiency to handle, and Simple Weapons Proficiency to use effectively in a melee. The concealed blade in the heavy bludgeoning end can be extended or retracted as a free action. Plasma blaster damage can be set to 1d10, 2d20 or 3d10 as a free action once per round. The stunner can be activated as a free action and must be used in stead of the blade or bludgeon. Requires a touch attack and the target needs to make a Fort save DC 19 or be stunned for 1d4 rounds.The M-566 is powered by an internal power pack which must be replaced by opening a small hatch on the opposing side of the staff (a standard action).</blockquote>
