| Description: | A laser pistol is a large handgun. It fires a pulse of bright light. Laser pistols are commonly called blasters. A laser pistol has a dial that can be set from 1 to 10 to control how many SEU are fired by each shot. Each SEU fired causes 1d10 points of damage. For example, when the dial is set at 3, the shot uses 3 SEU and causes 3d10 points of damage. Players must tell the referee what setting they are using before rolling the dice to see if the shot hits.
The dial can be changed in lieu of an attack if the character has Beam Weapons 2 or less. Someone with Beam Weapons 3 or 4 can change the dial once per turn as a free action. Someone with level 5 or higher can change the setting prior to each shot as a free action.
Laser pistols use 20 SEU clips but can be attached to beltpacks or powerpacks. An albedo suit or screen halves the damage from lasers.
