Title: Monofilament tipped arrows.
Post by: Jeeves on <05-13-12/2349:10>

Made a troll street-sam archer. I'm trying to find more special arrow types, and the SR4_DK spreadsheet lists mono-tipped arrows. Anyone have stat suggestions? Also other arrow types?

Thanks so much.

No. Just...no. That isn't even necessary.

Just add a -1 or -2 AP if you really must.

hmmm...

looking at a monosword compared to a sword....

Sword is STR/2+3 with a AP of 0      $350
Monosword is STR/2+3 with a AP of -1    $750

So, Mono arrows would give an addition AP of -1 for twice the cost.

Sounds like a good place to start. and remember the old saiding: "if you can think of it, and would want it. The badguys have thought of it too, and they HAVE it!"

+1 for a solid, logical approach to weapon development. I would even consider adding the Mono as an Upgrade, adding -1 AP for x2 cost, or -2 for x5, and taking one slot per rating.
