About the Sith Lanvarok

The lanvarok is an ancient Sith weapon, a relic of the old Sith species and their war-priests from an age long before lightsabers. The Sith form is the refined one: a launcher strapped to the forearm that hurls a spray of razor discs with a spin of its mechanism, leaving the wielder's hands free to clutch a lightsaber or blade. Its great weakness is the reload — the mechanism is slow to prime, so a lanvarok is best spent on a single, surprising volley rather than a sustained exchange. In the hands of a Force-user it becomes something worse: the discs can be guided in flight, curving after a target that thought it had found cover. By the eras most spacers know, genuine lanvaroks survive mostly as tomb-relics and cult heirlooms, their mechanisms fragile and their ammunition rare — a burst of ancient malice flung from the wrist.

Notes

Uncommon. A forearm-mounted launcher that fires a spray of razor discs, leaving the wielder's hands free to hold a blade. Its mechanism is slow to prime: after firing, it cannot fire again until you reload it (an action), so it favors the opening ambush over sustained fire. A Force-user may guide the discs in flight — while you can use the Force, you make this weapon's attack with Advantage.
