Well saw the title and then that I was mentioned so now I have to reply. Lol.
Askier has, had, a magitek arm after his left one was blown off by a explosive saving Roen's life. The process of getting the new arm was a lengthy one involving rping stealing some from a castrum, learning with Alexei how install one in character, and then having Alexei perform the surgery to install the mounts and wiring needed to use the arm but it ended up working wonderfully. Let me toss a few things out.
One, due to the increased weight and fact that Askier can't feel the limb at all, it greatly impeded his ability to fight so basically he's not any good up close anymore. One thing worth thinking would be having your character train with it. Â I had a lot of fun rp sessions with Alexei about maitainence and training.
Note, it takes years for the limb to become truly synced to the body so you'll have keep that in mind. Askier was afraid to grab stuff for awhile cause he had trouble opening the hand and he still has to visually look at the arm to move it.
Also, consider how disguised you want the arm. I never had Askier disguise the magitek limb other than a long sleeve and a glove but I believe Merri  has a fake set of skin on his. I've had a few rp sessions where the magitek limb made him untrusted  IC.
And, since it was mentioned, I -did- have Askier install a six round cylinder, barrel, and firing pin into the arm once he had it attached for awhile. Askier likes explosions and him not putting in basicall gun blade parts seemed out of character. Lol. If you've met Askier you know what I mean. Â I know a fellow poster said it could be overkill but if you balance it correctly and rp and don't use it every moment, its can work.out well. Its the only way Askier could easily defend himself anymore and since he was violently tortured once, he never wanted to be unarmed again. Personally I don't think a hidden blade or gun is that op considering you could have a hidden gun blade or knife on your character normally. (See Assassin's Creed games)
Â
Hope that helps at all and if you have any more questions feel free to ask me. Â I also know Merri is -the- engerneiring guy so you should definatly ask him too, Â I just make stuff go boom IC really. Also Alexie does have extra limbs he and I stole IC if you need one and he can do the surgery if you need someone to help install it IC.
