Biotic Blade 1

A 1'6" long sword, shaped like a small Katana. Based off the amount in the characters biotic skill, the sword can penetrate a shield to attack straight at the opponents body. Thought having to go through the shield would deal less damage unless you were to strike a vital spot like the throat of a human. Now full damage could be inflicted of course if there is no shield to penetrate, maybe even a bit more damage when adding biotics to the attack. This is a melee weapon of course.

I don't have a set price but i would like to be able to purchase his for my characters starting gear. The reason why I put 1 at the end of the name is cause you can find better remakes of this weapon later on as you could in Mass Effect. Biotic Blade 2, Biotic Blade 3, and so on. meaning that this first version would be relatively weak. So i would give this weapon the starting stats of something like...

10% shield bypass
30% less damage

Looks pretty fair in terms of the damage tradeoff. Rather than making different versions with extra power, you could just have the effectiveness be decided by the user's Biotic and Combat skills. For instance, more Combat could decrease the damage nerf, and more Biotics could add to the shield bypass. Not sure how large the store is intended to be anyhow, so either way probably works.

Something like this?

+2% shield bypass per Biotic point
-2% less damage per Combat point?

Or should it be by like every 2 or 3 points into that skill to get the Buff/Nerf?

I would stick to just describing what it does, ignoring the percentages, seeing as the battles in this RP are not number based anyways.

What is it with everyone and melee weapons?
Guns are far superior.

Yeah, i'm with Kleiner here. Dont get me wrong, it sounds cool, but it's not gonna do you a whole lot of good when the guy with an assault rifle or a rocket launcher can kill you before you get within twenty feet of him. Also even if you get close enough to use it, wouldn't it still be easier to shoot him rather than stab him?
