The Chainsword is essentially a sword with powered teeth that run along a
single-edged blade like that of a chainsaw. Most versions of the weapon
make use of monomolecularly-edged or otherwise razor-sharp teeth.
Chainswords are not subtle weapons, and wielding one is a statement
in its own right: they are horrific tools of war, designed to bite, tear
and eviscerate where more primitive blades merely cut and slice.
The weapon makes an angry buzzing sound as the teeth spin around,
intensifying into a high pitched scream as they grind into armour. This is a two-handed variant of such a weapon.
Melee: Attacks with this trait can be used during close combat without penalty.
Parry: After an enemy makes close combat attacks against this fighter and rolls to hit, until this fighter has no further Parry options available to them this fighter's controlling player can force the attacking player to re-roll one successful hit per Parry.
Rending: If the roll to wound with a Rending weapon is a natural 6, the attack's Damage is increased by 1 and its Armor Penetration is increased by 1.
Noisy: When a Hidden fighter makes an attack using this weapon, opposing fighters within 18'' gain a free Detect action against them and gain a +4 bonus to their check.
Unwieldy: A fighter who uses an Unwieldy weapon to shoot in ranged combat
treats the Shoot action as a Double action. A fighter
who uses an Unwieldy melee weapon in close combat cannot use a second weapon at the same time.
Unwieldy weapons take up two weapon slots.
