Tu'nang Vibro-Spear
Tu'nang Vibro-Spear - Yarai
Model: Tu'nang Vibro-Spear - Yarai
Type: Melee Weapon
Scale: Character
Skill: Melee Combat: Spear
Cost: 800
Availability: 4, R
Difficulty: Moderate
Damage: STR+ 3D or STR+2D Stun Damage (see below)
Notes: If a character has the Ambidexterity Ability, this can be used to allow the wielder of a Yarai to make two attacks with one action, as if they were using two melee weapons. One strike may be made with the blade and a second with the butt of the spear, for stun damage only. If wielded by a non-ambidextrous character, they must decide which end they intend to attack with.
Capsule: The Yarai is a spear that is on average two metres in length. It is made out of very fine durasteel and consists of one and a half metres of haft, with a blade that spans the final half metre. The Yarai is a weapon favoured by the race known as the Tu'nang Ro, an ape-like race with remarkable agility.
Although quite obviously a spear, in the hands of a master the Yarai holds something of a surprise for the wielder's opponents. The Yarai, unlike most spears, is not simply a thrusting weapon. When used by someone trained in its use, the Yarai is used more like a quarter staff, with the added advantage of carrying a blade at one end. This being the case, as technology progressed, the Tu'nang Ro began installing a stun field generator in the base of the spear, so that the butt can be used to subdue rather than kill.
