Duel Pistols
I'm not going to say it's been suggested before but something about this gives me a very eerie sense of deja vu...

Umm well actually.
Anyways... /unsigned (of the obvious reasont hat pistols are not melee weapons... Most of the times)
Ye gads, not only are they recycling the suggestions, they are recycling the spoof suggestions!!!!
I really should do something about this signature.
The world will now explode then implode and explode again.
Although, at least it wasn't States4Prez this time.

And will recycle the recyclings until we are left with a disgusting grey mess of boring animations and poor ideas.

I beg to differ.
Also - yes to more Duel Pistols suggestions!

Kerensky: this has nothing to do with underwear
Zwillinger: I put on my robe and wizard hat...
Synapse: I had to resist starting my last post off with "Yo dawg!"
Dual Pistols!
With an 'a'. Unless the set is designed such that you take 10 paces back from your target each time you fire, it's not 'duel' pistols!

That was my point, you silly little man
10 paces, FIRE!
I'm sick to death of Dual Pistols sets, at least Duel Pistols ones are funny.

You didn't suggest Duel Pistols, you suggested Dual Guns.

I suggest you actually read the post, not the title.

How many 'Shield great NEW power idea' posts where there????
Sorry little OT there
I did ACTUALLY mean duel pistols with an e, hence most of the power descriptions mentioning duelling, seconds, afternoon tea etcetera. The duel/dual difference was meant to be vaguely humorous but I appear to have stumbled rather.
I am sorry that I did not manage to embody more of the spirit of aristocracy in this powerset and hereby disown it, begging the forgiveness of the forum as a whole...
P.S. - someone said that it is not duel pistols if you do not take ten steps etcetera. Please read the description for 'Assassin's Cheat'. Thanks.

PRAF: Owning with style since 4th January, 2005
What about Dhule Pistols, Bollywood style?
Dole Pistols for blasters that shoot welfare cheques and incoherent abuse? Comes with summonable Filthy Terrier pet.
I now have an image of Sir_Helm dancing the Tunak with two flintlocks.
Ah, so I suppose some of you came here to say "it's been suggested before". Nope.
Likewise, to those who say "it's DUAL pistols", nope.
Having seen the 6754th post on duel pistols plx 4 scrappars I decided to really craft a set for pistols used in duels, and its secondary pool counterpart. These sets are for stalkers, as duels are typically very short, close range affairs.
PRIMARY POWER POOL: DUEL PISTOLS
Power 1 Throw down the gauntlet - You are disgusted with your opponent's behaviour and give them a slap round the
chops. Damage minor, recharge fast, low chance for stun.
Power 2 Pistol whip - You attempt to settle the affair before it has even begun by giving your opponent a vicious
blow with the mahogany handle of your duelling pistol. Damage moderate, recharge moderate
Power 3 Delope - You do not wish to kill your opponent, just humiliate them, so you discharge your pistol pointing
away from them to make a show of your standing as a gentleman. Unfortunately, you hit their friend. Damage high,
recharge high, debuff defense (the animation for this would be similar to a 'miss' with other powers, where you point
at the ceiling or similar).
Power 4 Assassin's Trick - You and your opponent are called to take ten steps, but you turn and fire after two and a half - society is outraged by your behaviour. Works like other assassin strikes, so damage special, recharge slow.
Power 5 Build Up - Your second in the duel gives you a pep-talk to banish your fear and focus your mind. The same as
other build ups.
Power 6 Placate - You don't take ten steps before turning and firing, you just run for the hills. The same as other
placates.
Power 7 Shoot him instead! - Nerves have got the better of you, so you direct your opponent's ire at your faithful
second in the duel. Whilst they're distracted, you give them a boot in the shin. Damage minor, recharge fast, each
hit raises your defense to melee and lethal.
Power 9 Double shot - You've broken the etiquette of the duel by loading your pistol with 2 balls, but how else are
you going to win? Your shot mangles your opponent, but you need a long time to reload both balls. Damage extreme,
recharge long, stun.
SECONDARY POWER POOL: BUFFOONERY
Power 1 Hide - You are a bounder and a cad, and therefore despise fair play. During a duel, you will attempt to hide
in nearby shrubberies and suchlike. (Identical to other stalkers' hide)
Power 2 Stiff Upper Lip - Through years of practise, your upper lip is stiffer than most, capable of reflecting passing pistol balls and bending fencing swords. You are slightly resistant to all types of damage except psychic.
This power is always on.
Power 3 Palpitating Fear - You don't want to die, and can't stop shaking. However, this shaking makes you very hard
to hit. Increases Defense to ranged attacks. Toggle.
Power 4 Weasel Words - Why all the fighting? With a few words and a fake smile, you can persuade people to stop
hitting you quite so much. Increases Defense to melee attacks. Toggle.
Power 5 Coward - Faced with death, no-one can prevent you from legging it. You have increased resistance to knockback, hold, immobilize, sleep, stun and fear - after all, you can't become any more scared than you already are. Toggle.
Power 6 Afternoon Tea - You take a second to nibble on a scone, and quickly feel better. Heal, recharge long.
Power 7 Pig dung - It is said that in one duel, a gentleman chose forkfuls of pig dung to show his disdain for the
practice. You put this swine faeces to good effect by lobbing it high into the sky, meaning that people are more
concerned of precipitating porker poop than watching to see you don't escape. AoE placate, recharge very long.
Power 8 Take a dive - You're not really dead, just too scared to get up. Activate this power to find the resolve to take a peek around and cautiously haul yourself up. Self rez, recharge long.
Power 9 Tally ho! - There's no way you can survive this, so you're just going to grit your teeth and wade on in, ducking and diving for all you're worth. You gain hugely increased defense, but suffer an endurance crash - all that
fear is tiring. Recharge very long.
I would also like a pipe to go with these power sets.
Any serious comments will be taken as seriously as I take my suggestion.
