Service Weapons is a quick FIST supplement that adds custom legendary weapons to the game.
The PDF is 2 pages with a dense but cleanly written chart and bare text.
The contents of the PDF are short and to the point, and consist of some brief directions and then a table of traits you can roll for the weapons. These traits are all solid, diverse, and change gameplay in meaningful ways.
Overall, this is a lightweight but very easy to incorporate FIST mod. If you want a little more mechanical color and some special weapons, I'd definitely advise picking it up.
Minor Issues:
-LEECH does sort of the opposite of what its name suggests it could do.
It is some great way to make players and referees think about their weapons and gives them some kind of customization
Very interesting ideas here. I've had players who struggle with coming up with visuals for constructed weapons like this in the past though, so I think an extra table of tags for visuals would really help. For example, I roll twice and get SWAMP and URBAN? That could be some aztec-style design where the weapon when not used looks like a small temple but when needed the squares expand into the full form? Just some ideas, love the submission so it got me thinking :D
A Nice compact two page index of weapon tags, that fits the Fist vibe nicely. Could use a bit more substance. More of a granola bar than a stack of pancakes in terms of a Fist expansion. But sometimes all you need is just a little bit extra.
