Discblade

About the Discblade

A wickedly sharpened throwing disc, the discblade is the assassin's answer to a blaster: silent, unpowered, and impossible to trace by weapons-scan the way an energy weapon would be. Balanced to spin true across an open room, it can be hurled to slash a throat or bury itself in an exposed back, then, in the hands of a specialist, retrieved and thrown again. Bounty hunters, cultists, and killers who prize discretion have carried them for millennia, sometimes coated in poison or notched to catch and tear. Light and quick to draw, a discblade rewards a keen eye and a practiced wrist far more than raw strength, and its short effective range demands the thrower pick the moment carefully. It will never match a rifle for reach, but where noise means death, a blade that whispers across the air is worth its weight in credits.
