how many weapons can a Cosmoknight create??

[say652]

Is it possible to create a small cosmic armory and just use the tool for the job??

A dagger.
A shield.
A spear.
A Bow.

You get the idea.

[SpiritInterface]

They never really say, but remember that the weapons are created out of the Cosmo Knight's own MDC or PPE at the cost of 50 per weapon permanently lost.

[Nightmask]

No real point to making a range of weapons, along with the permanent costs that Spirit notes a dagger vs a sword is going to deal the same damage and the dagger can be just as used to channel his energy blasts as a bow (and not sure they can make bows anyway).

[say652]

I was thinkin since ppe is used for ftl and space combat mainly. A rifts earth based cosmoknight wouldnt need it, instead using his arsenal of weapons. Some do more damage some create a forcefield some enhance his blasts.

[say652]

Brass knuckles. Forcefield.
Spear. Enhanced Damage.
Bow. Enhanced Blasts.

[Nightmask]

Unless there was a change to the Cosmo-Knight I missed the weapons don't do different damage based on the type of weapon, the damage is set whether it's a dagger or a sword, and any weapon will boost their energy blast even if said weapon is a shield although some may like the stylistic look of a gun or bow.

I'm talking about the weapin abilities. I have the book here I know the base damage. Whoch enhancing it is an option, so are forcefield, and increased blast damage.

Yes and the weapons abilities are the same no matter the outward form, just like a Psi-Sword deals the same damage whether it's a dagger or a Two-handed sword. A Cosmo-Knight with a Dagger for his weapon will be equal in ability to someone who has a Longsword and can add in the same things to both, with them dealing the same damage.

[say652]

It states each weapin is allowed one ability. It doesnt say if you can create more than one so you have access to all the weapon abilities.

Why would the Cosmic Forge create a planet bound Cosmo Knight? The FTL and Space Combat abilities are a big part of what it is to be a Cosmo Knight.

If the Cosmo Knight is intended to be planet bound then it shouldn't have anywhere as big of a PPE reserve.

[say652]

Because you cant enter into orvit from Rifts Earth.
And they're are Cosmo knights on rifts already, the incan pantheon has several cosmoknight allies.

I wanted on that used that vast ppe pool to create a variety of weapons instead.

[drewkitty ~..~]

It does not give a number, but the text is written as if they only make one.

[Tinker Dragoon]

Not that it really means anything rules-wise, but the centaur CK depicted on p. 98 of Phase World has a bow, a quiver full of arrows, and a spear, so that's at least three weapons right there — significantly more if the arrows are counted individually.

[say652]

Hehehe.
Go time

Are all of them CK weapons though?

For all we know, none of them are. I tend to think that they are cosmic weapons because they share similar styling to the figures' armor in the illustration, but that's hardly compelling evidence.

In a similar vein, the Cosmo Knight on the cover of Three Galaxies has two hammers, which also match their wielder's armor. Are they cosmic weapons? Nobody knows.

[say652]

So burning up that massive ppe pool for an arsenal of varied cosmic weapons is plausible.
Granted its a different take on a cosmo knight but, thats how I roll. Lol

You can make as many weapons as your GM will let you

[Tor]

No real point to making a range of weapons

Except that...
*different WP provide different bonuses
*some weapons are capable of things others are not (only staves and polearms can parry nets, only nets can tie up opponents)
*backup weapons in case your weapon is stolen (teleport: simple works on almost anything)
*weapons you can lend to allies
*you could buy different powers for different weapons
*use paired-weapon attacks

I have to say that you can since it does not place a specific limit it only says that each weapon can only have one power.

Its very very rare that I consider artwork as a canon reference but those glowing twin hammers on the cover of 3 Galaxies IS a rather compelling piece of evidence.

Also Tor points out some very valid benefits to having a more than one (cosmic) weapon.

Would anyone happen to know if Xiticix or Octomen are supernatural beings?
