Looking to play Star Wars SAGA

[Cassandra LeMay]

Could he possibly simply mount it to his wrist and cover it?

Possibly, but I don't think that's a good idea. For one you would have to rig some trigger mechanism, which could be more obvious than the hidden blaster. Running around with a switch in your hand isn't exactly concealable. The alternative would be to fire it normally, but then you'd need one arm to aim the blaster, and the other hand to fire it, instead of using just one hand with a normal gun. It might also be less easy to hide that way. If someone pats you down, searching for weapons, a wrist-mounted blaster can't be shifted around. But a normal holdout gun can be shifted easily from one hand to the other, from one pocket to another, with a little bit of legerdemain.

I would like to pair up with you in game from time to time as I need to speak with your character for plans with my own. :)

Sounds good. Your character should make a good meatshie....er, ally

That should pretty much have the same effect, rules-wise, as a concealed wrist holster (p.140).

Yeah I figured, since most of the really exotic weapons in the EU are melee or archaic weapons of some manner.

Decided the NC section might be best for this game and started us an OOC thread here: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=233176.0

More to come soon.
