Prototype: Amethyst Kukri
The Amethyst Kukri is a bladed weapon designed for chopping and hacking rather than slashing or stabbing. Elegantly crafted from a solid piece of amethyst and elegantly flowing from tip to pommel. The chemistry of the blade itself allows it to deflect blaster bolts or disruptors, but will break under the powerful energy of a lightsaber blade.
Amethyst Kukri has been coated with a poison that can interfere with the body’s motor functions by targeting the muscles and nervous system. The affects can vary from the numbing, paralysis, or slowing of limbs to halting breathing and inducing seizures or sleep. The poison triggers on contact with the skin or bloodstream, with the most severe symptoms manifesting in the immediate area of the wound. Requires the "Poison Weapons Feat" on the Character Sheets to be effective in combat.
