A handy table of weapons for aliens, BEM and Saucer-men of all kinds.
The lower numbers are "safe" weapons, migratign to melee weapons then personal arms and then the big stuff. The big stuff should probably not be used except as adventure devices.
Pistols usually do the same damage a sword does in the game
with effective range of 50’
Guns usually do twice pistol damage with an effective range
of 100’
Rifles usually do half again as much damage as pistols with an
effective range of 200’
Grenades typically do twice
sword damage, they and other thrown weapons have an effective range of
40’

wow! perhaps i could do a pdf with both our alien stuff sometime for public this is great
ReplyDeleteCertainly. I wouldn't have done them without your inspiration. Please let me know when you do it (not that I'd bee too likely to miss it), and slap the url for this blog somewhere in the pdf.
