That looks like a very interesting list of stuff. Can't wait for my copy to finally get here.
Thanks for sharing. ^_^
I will point out that the Nanite Fusion is used by an Inevitable, not an Angel, and those things... aren't usually nice :3
Still cool as hell.
Oh yeah, it's definitely the nicest Inevitable revealed.
And yay! Moar stuff!
The Nanite Fusion's damage effect functions as Acid so there's that.

Well I guess an acid spear is pretty nice. I'm still saddened by the lack of acidic weapons. The dart guns are fine I guess but I was hoping to eventually get some that could use batteries like the cryo guns.
I super like acid damage and was sad that only dart guns gave me that option overall. But at least i can have a melee weapon now so thats cool
The acid lancers are actually heavy weapons that fire lines of acid, and use a synthetic acid liquid compound that costs the same as petrol.

The acid lancer heavy weapon has 4 levels: 4, 9, 14, 19 and has the Analog, Boost, Line and Unwieldy properties.
Personally the ammo consumption is a tad high for my personal preference (5 shots for the tier 4, 4 shots for the tier 9, then 5 again for the tier 14 and 4 again for the tier 19).
The Nanite Weapon infusion is level 6 and only when you crit does the damage turn into acid. It's also a melee weapon only fusion.
Don't forget the Maze Core stuff. Two items in one!
Seriously! This was one of the coolest things in the books as it opens up tons of possibilities for new custom hear.

How does maze-core gear WORK exactly? The book seemed kind of vague, but it’s basically two items that run on the same power source, right?

Yep, there's some increased costs but it also saves time on switching weapons.
No new finesse weapons is kind of a bummer.
i was day dreaming about something similar a while back, some psuedo science ray that attacks electron bonds would basically translate to acid damage, wouldnt it?Well I guess an acid spear is pretty nice.

Oooh. Niven invented one of these. A Thrintun Disintegrator worked by emitting a field that rendered electrons chargeless. The resulting cloud of atomic nuclei would blow itself apart due to mutual positive charge.
So there's your pseudoscience, if you want to design one.
Now to use maze-core tech to combine a doshko and sniper rifle.Is Maze-core tech obvious? can you combine a mundane knife or ceremonial sword with a grenade launcher or x-gen gun or something?
I think both of the component devices have to be powered or technological in nature.
You can make your laser pistol into a computer, but you couldn't add a primitive spear to your sniper rifle (at least not with this tech).
Ringworld series, yeah?
Known Space, yeah. I can't recall if one ever actually appears in a Ringworld book.
My copy of the AP just came in and i am very happy to see Proton Decoupler weapons available in pistol, longarm and heavy weapon variants. I think these may become my default energy weapons from here on out.i was day dreaming about something similar a while back, some psuedo science ray that attacks electron bonds would basically translate to acid damage, wouldnt it?Well I guess an acid spear is pretty nice.

Short range, big damage. 3d20 for a pistol is ridiculous.
3d20??? That's gotta' be a typo.
3d20??? That's gotta' be a typo.
Nope, the rifle does 5d20, as does the heavy weapon. Admittedly those are 20th level weapons and have tiny range increments (30 for both pistol and rifle, 40 for the heavy but it's a line.)
Don't you mean Disintegrator...
Are there any sci-fi examples of technology similar to the maze core stuff in AA? The closest I can think of was a “memoryform” in Iain Banks’ first Cukture novel, Consider Phlebas. An agent had a false tooth that reconfigured itself into a very light and very airy version of a plasma pistol, as well as a pendant that became a more substantial one. But in that example only one mode was active technology, the other just being a disguise.

An upcoming Adventure Path article may help with that desire. :)

Its not really sci-fi but almost every weapon in RWBY is some sort of melee weapon with a gun integrated into it somehow, the main character's sniper-scythe I mentioned earlier would be an example. There are also spear-rifles, hammer-grenade launchers, and a purse-heavy machine gun.

On a grander scale variable fighters/Veritechs, Transformers, the Armored Genesis MOSPEADA cycle armor, the Garland from Magazine 23, and so on. :)

Yep! No one said disintegrators were particularly reliable weapons, but they Do get the job done. On average.

I’m okay with that, dance of ruin was one of my favourite spells in 3.5 :3

Why ... why didn't I think of that?
A maze-core hover pod/flight frame combo. It's not technically rules-legal, but I'm the GM! I can do anything!
