Alpha Dawn Sonic Knife Home Back to Equipment Category: Melee Weapons Weapon: Sonic Knife Cost: 50 Mass: 1 Heavy Weapon? Yes Modifier: 10 Defense: Sonic STR Damage Bonus Applies? No Melee Damage: 3d10 Description: A sonic knife looks like a golden tube, 15 em long and 4 em in diameter. This tube is actually only the weapon's handle. When a small button on the side of the tube is pressed, a powerful "blade" of focused sound is created at one end of the tube. The sound blade is about 20 cm long, and is invisible. It emits a high-pitched whine, however. The blade is turned off when the button is released. The knife is powered by a 20 SEU clip, but can be hooked into a belt pack or power pack. A sonic knife uses 1 SEU when it hits. Anyone wearing a sonic screen can not be injured by a sonic knife. Unlike a regular knife, a sonic knife cannot be thrown.
