Talk:Force Weapons

Is the Rod of Office an actual force weapon or is it just 'normal' (relatively) technology that got added to this page? -- Triacom (talk) 20:09, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

• Looking at the Locus page on Lex, it's a "complex neurological transmitter," which is not particularly indicative to be a Force weapon. It is also said to be crafted by a Magus and a Clamavus, both of which are individuals who have a "psychic aura." The effect is kinda similar to the Tormentor in disrupting the mind part, but the background doesn't seem to be as psychic compared to spirit stones. I'll probably find some time to dig through the new Codex some more first to be sure. For the time being, how about moving it to the Misc. Weapons page? – Aenigmatrix (talk) 20:51, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

I agree, just because a weapon is made by psychic people doesn't mean jack shit about it being a force weapon. If it did then literally everything the Eldar made would be force weapons. Also its description doesn't make it a force weapon either, or the Callidus Assassins would also be using force weapons. -- Triacom (talk) 20:58, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Star Wars

The ability is literally called "Force Weapon" in Star Wars d20. It's also what Wookieepedia calls it. Just because the term means something different in a different setting doesn't mean it shouldn't be given a section. --Agiletek (talk) 06:28, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Star Wars and Warhammer Force weapons are distinct. The article also specifically states they are weapons in Warhammer. It feels a little out of place to put it here. That doesn't mean you can't add this if you really want it in. Maybe to the Star Wars RPG page or something? --Lord Of The Lemmings (talk) 06:45, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

As Lord Of The Lemmings states, Force Weapons are very different from a skill name. Just because something shares a similar name doesn't mean it belongs in every article with that name, especially when that skill has nothing to do with the rest of the article, and is not defined in the same manner. Just because the term means something different in a different setting doesn't mean it shouldn't be given a section. Sure it does, is it a weapon that "serves to store up and channel psychic energy"? If no, then it is not a Force Weapon. As Lord of the Lemmings points out you can add it to the Star Wars RPG page if you really want it to be on the wiki. -- Triacom (talk) 08:18, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Agreeing with the above. Otherwise by the same logic the 'Imperial Guard' page should have Palpatine's bois from SW on it as well. And Napoleon's guards, etc --58.162.223.230 09:41, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
