Zat'nik'tel for d20 Modern

Wed, 06 Feb 2008 22:35:17 GMT

As a follow on from the Staff Weapon, here are some rules we used Tuesday for a Zat.

Weapon	Damage	Crit	Type	Range	RoF	Mag	Size	Weight	DC	Res
Zat'nik'tel	Special	-	Electric	20'	S	∞	Tiny	2lbs	28	Lic (+1)

Any model hit by a Zat, as a ranged touch attack, must pass a DC 17 Fortitude save or be Stunned for d4 rounds. On taking a second hit in quick succession, the target must make a DC 15 Fortitude Save or drop to -1 HP.

This is based on the preformance of the weapon in the Series, but I'm worried it makes it too powerful in the game. With unlimited ammo, stun and kill abilities, why not always use them for close up work?

Also a new icon for Stargate stuff here on the site. Based on an icon by Bryan Derksen for Wikipedia, it's in the public domain.

Goa'uld Staff Weapon for d20 Future

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 02:14:20 GMT

I've started thinking about running a Stargate based d20 Future game, so decided to have a pop at stats for a Staff Weapon.

Not sure how to set the purchase DC, as you can't buy them or sell them. They are alien artifacts, so should be quite valuable.

A Staff Weapon is unbalanced and horribly inaccurate, So -1 to Hit at range, but counts as a two handed weapon in melee, doing d8 damage.

Powered by a Liquid Naqahdah core, it has effectively unlimited ammo.

Here is what I've come up with so far:

Weapon	Damage	Crit	Type	Range	RoF	Mag	Size	Weight	DC	Res
Staff Weapon	2d10	20	Fire	20'	S	∞	Large	12lbs	28	Lic (+1)
