"Are you injured?"

"... Praise the light?"
Kyle says not very sure about what he should say.

I may join back for that last one.

And then we can choose what Hisao doesn't. 

That's what I was thinking as well. And it isn't like we NEED to mass produce them.

I take another level in Ranger, I got six skill points of which I invested one in swim, three in hide, and two in heal. I got the Combat Style:  Archery feat and gained +1 to Reflex and Fortitude saves.

Kyle continues his stroll through cover towards poor old Lutz.
"I'm gonna flank him."

It is sold as a glove, but it is actually a small thing the size of a stamp in the knuckles of the glove so that you can punch with it (and an on/off switch, I assume).

EDIT: Edited wiki page to add some missing info.

Odd, I believe I remember seeing somewhere that it can work with sharp weapons if you put it in the non-cutting part of the blade.

At least sharp enough to be able to make someone want to back off when hit by it.

You've got two (decent) options here:

• The almost free option: Wait for the next line of spacesuits to come out, get a free metal sword from a space wizard.  Turn shock gloves on and hold sword.  Not quite as shocking as a tesla saber, and not as sharp as a monorazor, but infinite charge and free.
• The expensive option: Buy an expensive metamaterial that doesn't immediately melt when shocked by tesla saber voltages.  Make a sword out of it, duct tape a battery to it, and attach a magic no-arc field generator to the hilt.

You're forgetting option number 3: Merge a monorazor and a tesla saber. Monowires have the advantage that they don't cut things when they don't vibrate, so they can be easily stored. So you could theoretically make some sort of mechanism that extends a monorazor out of a tesla saber when it's off. Not really cheap, but cheaper than making some kind of ultra durable ultra sharp metamaterial. And it doesn't offer many advantages except having both in the same weapon, but hey, it's what the man wants. If that's what he wants, let him have it.

Hey, then I don't need to waste space with two swords. Still doubt the usefulness of a weapon that needs to vibrate to cut but it's better than one that can run out of power and need to you waste time switching.
