Melee sceptres are sword type and vibro type. Both have the option to be one-handed or two-handed. All can be modded with bleed, shock damage, and/or stun.
Ranged sceptre is a pistol type gun that can be modded with one of many projectiles. Ammo capacity depends on the attached projectile type. Projectiles are mostly explosive (cryo, fireball, pulse, plasma, pax, frenzy, zeta wave, lorenzo's artifact, mirv, proximity, and telekinesis), two laser types (tesla and plasma laser), and four torch types (chain lightning, cryo stream, flamer, and plasma fllamer). Only explosive types, except mirv and proximity, can be upgraded with a targeting gem.
Weapons, ammo**, misc item, and new materials* can all be crafted at the Chemistry Station under the category "ALIEN SCEPTRE REPLICA."
This mod requires: Automatron, Far Harbor, and Nuka World.

Known Issues:
>> clipping/visual issues
- unlike the vanilla weapons, the sceptre's handle is thick and non-uniform which will cause some hand clipping
- the handle is very long for the one-handed sword type sceptre so it will clip through your body when swinging a certain way in 3rd person view
- in first person view part of the handle will poke up from the screen when side swinging with the two-handed sword type sceptre
- walking with the ranged sceptre drawn will make the handle clip awkwardly into your body
>> modding the ranged sceptre
- attaching an explosive mod and immediately switching back to a non-explosive mod will cause the crafting menu to change
Solution: simply back out of the crafting menus or the workbench and reactivate the workbench.
- targeting mods are greyed out even with all required perks/materials; usually happens when you detach a mod required in crafting another mod for the same weapon
Solution: back out of the workbench and reactivate the workbench to continue modding.
