Empress Heavy Ion Pistol (Silver; SWADE)

Post by Augur »

CM-80 Empress Heavy Ion Pistol (Patron Item)
Image
Designed specifically for the honor guards of the Imperial family, these magnificant weapons are slowly making their way into the rank and file, starting with special forces groups. The first guards to get this weapon were those guarding Emperor Prosek's wife, hence it's nickname. The weapon packs the power of an Ion Rifle into a pistol, at the expense of weight, range, and payload, but it's ability to threaten most anyone makes it highly respected, especially in the close quarters of asset protection.
• Range: 8/16/32
• Damage: 1– 3d10, AP 0 (see also EMP Attack)
• Rate of Fire: 1
• Payload: 12 shots per E-clip
• Features:
• • Wide Spread (TLPG p. 100), and Heavy Pulse
• • Laser Targeting: The shooter gains an additional +1 to all shooting rolls with this weapon, in addition to the bonus for Wide Spread.
• • EMP Attack: The wielder uses his Shooting skill to target a technological device (−4 Called Shot penalty for any hand-held or small items targeted). On a successful hit, the device won’t work for one round; it fails to operate for two rounds on a raise. Shoot a vehicle's weapon and it will not work. Shoot a light and it goes out. Shoot a vehicle or robot combat vehicle and it cannot move or maneuver (though subsystems might still work, like a single weapon system; GM's discretion). This requires 3 shots from the weapon's E-Clip.
For technological characters such as Juicers, Combat Cyborgs, and Intelligent Constructs, as well as those in Power Armor, they instead suffer one Fatigue (two on a raise). They may roll Smarts to resist. This cannot incapacitate.
• d6 Min Str (5 lbs)
Notes: Technology Base is one of Coalition. Cost for Repair Purposes: 80,000 credits.

Code: Select all

Empress Heavy Ion Pistol (Silver)

Post by Augur »

I changed it from the Atorian version mostly due to how improbable it is for the weapons to make it to Rifts Earth. But that version is retained below for anyone who prefers it. Replace the name, image, and description with this.
Original Version:
Empress Heavy Ion Pistol (Patron Item)
Image
Atorian ion blasters use accelerated, charged particles in a dense, destructive beam. The Empress model is manufactured exclusively for use by imperial guards of the six princesses of the Empire. None have ever made their way to the galactic black market. The weapon packs the power of an Ion Rifle into a pistol, at the expense of weight, range, and payload, but it's ability to threaten most anyone makes it highly respected, especially in the close quarters of asset protection.
