[QUOTE="Roseweave, post: 6925251, member: 6806914"] I'm playing one next campaign(as you may have seen from older threads) and trying to figure it out. I suppose on a really elementary level, the Dagger shoots the magic(lightning in this case). Either through the blade, or some magic bauble on the bottom. Another idea I had which goes with the wilder sort of feel sorcerers have is that they hold the dagger in one hand, and zap stuff with the other. It looks cool, but what if you're a Dual Implement Spellcaster? That plan goes out the window. So I was considering since I wanted my next character to have a bit of a Gunslinger vibe to do something a bit different. My backup character idea was a sort of Wynonna Earp style dealy, an Avenger smiting undead with the use of a Gun-shaped implement. However a sorcerer might be a better base for that(there's an item set to turn lightning into radiant damage) since you get more ranged attacks. My character's of somewhat "middle eastern" heritage(her mom's mostly Calishite) so I was going to go with a Jambiya type dagger, which works really well especially since they're often adorned with gems. But the handles also look like they'd work really well for a steampunky/magipunky gun. The blade needs to be curved but this would be a cool start: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZPmo4mR.png[/IMG] Some Jambiyas: [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/03/46/f9/0346f9f5f1c95f4544880f98ed95d4aa.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/14/22/35/1422352599762452bf8457d1ab2f7cd0.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/39/a4/45/39a4456c47052a7731af10879cd5df25.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.swordforum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=141306&stc=1&d=1453584553[/IMG][IMG]http://www.oriental-arms.com/photos/items/18/004818/ph-0.jpg[/IMG] I like the gems on the last one a lot but obviously it's not very gun-like! Anyway what solutions do people have for this? [/QUOTE]
