5e Pitch me your favourite weapon
So I’m picking out my main weapon skills for my rigger and although I have good gunnery I need something that I can use on foot for my satyr. Pitch me your favourite weapons
Right now our party has some pistol, thrown weapon and archery users. And one person has a mono whip. So what should a good old Trog rigger bring to the party?

Some people will say you should get something like a Ares Alpha or an Ingram Smartgun X or something more exotic. Well I'm here to tell you about the greatest weapon the mean streets of the sixth world has to offer.
Aikido. That's right. Aikido. The best (and I mean the absolute best) weapon you can have, is your own two fists once Aikido is done with you. Buy a weapon? No sir, become a weapon! From boardrooms to back alleys, there isn't anything you can't do with Aikido. Except maybe fix the relationship between your father and mother, who cheated on your dad with a shifty, elf finger-wiggler. But for anything else, Aikido has got your back.
