Hi,
I'm just starting up a new group and one of the players wnts to use a chainsaw, so I was
wondering if any of the more experienced GM's on the list had ever come up with rules
and/or stats for chainsaws, or for that matter, any other power tools used in melee
combat.

Whilst we're on the subject of melee weapons, does anybody have a more comprehensive list
than that supplied by FASA of melee weapons and their damage codes, as there appear to be
lots of additional guns but not too many hand to hand options.

And finally in respones to one of the other posts, what is the general feeling using some
of the more technological melee weapons as weapon foci, e.g monofilament whip, chainsaw,
laser axe, etc

Yours hopefully,

Jon Dunsdon.

How on earth can someone start-up a chainsaw in the middle of a fight, or
even before a fight and then wield it in an effective way? The noise would
be terrible and probably attract even more trouble.IMHO don't let it happen!
