Reinforced Diiro


Description:

Used by hunters or guards, the diiro is a typical Arbooinian weapon. The spear has an approximately meter-long hollow haft and a small hollow alloy blade. The diiro is lightweight but capable of deadly precision strikes in the hands of a skilled user. They contain a reservoir of venom extracted from a bearsloth, a zabros, or another of Arbooine’s dangerous flora or fauna. While the cut of a diiro may not be fatal on its own, it is capable of bringing down even the largest of Arbooinian predators in the right hands. A diiro can be loaded with up to three doses of any poison. This particular diiro has been reinforced to allow for more extended hunts before needing to be repaired, the wooden haft braced with Cortosis-weave bands, and the spearhead affixed with a removable, hollow Cortosis-weave tip.

Arbooinian bearsloth venom is not immediately lethal, as it is used to weaken and paralyze prey enough for the bearsloth to catch it. It does, however, linger a particularly long time in a victim’s system, chipping away at its stamina.

Alternately, there is Zabros venom, which when applied to a victim, induces them with temporary blindness. The Zabros, who are considered to be some of the more dangerous and cruel creatures on Arboonie, enjoy playing with their foe before killing them.



Intent: As a hunter, Ocha has been trained in the use of a diiro from a young age, Sathari skilled in mimicking the hunting styles of their local fauna in order to catch their prey. As she brings this manner of hunting off-world and into the galaxy at large, she, of course, would bring along the trusted diiro that she's been using to take down beasts since she was young.

Well. I read this wrong.

You'll need to be pretty specific on the species the poison can affect, considering the very wide range of biology we have in SW.

Fair enough! I may need a little help with that, though. Would it bee too general or vague to say the bear-sloth poison it can affect "creatures with a central nervous system" and the zabros venom can effect "creatures with specialized, light capturing organs"?

Nope. You're not going to be able to affect a vast swath of species like that. Most you could do is affect near-humans as a group, or aquatics, or reptilian, etc. And even then, some species in that group might have a natural immunity or resistance to poisons.

Alright.. hmm. I imagine poisons like that would affect her own people, the Sathari, so what sort of more narrow (but not too narrow????) group would you think that'd fall into?? Avians?? That'd be pretty limited.. hrmm.

@Yollm

I recommend leaving this submission at a melee weapon that can be loaded with poison doses- simple as that. You could choose pre-existing poisons, or create new submissions for future use. Most poisons are going to need to be tailored to specific target species- humans, dogs, and fish all have different things that are poisonous to them, and galactic species would be no different.
