Electrical Device Descriptions

The following are the electrical devices in alphabetical order.

TESLA CANNON

Classes: Eng

Field: Electrical [Lightning]

Activation Time: Standard action

Range: Medium (100 feet)

Target: One creature (see text)

Duration: Instantaneous

Defense: Reflex

Technology Resistance: Yes

What looks like a rifle has been extensively modified, and now crackles with electricity.

You can use this device to deal lightning damage to a creature at range. As your knowledge of this device's underlying principles improve, you can alter the electrical charge so that it can jump between targets, and eventually produce a devastating blast of lightning that affects all creatures in an area.

You can also target objects with this device. The lightning it generates can set fire to combustibles, and if it affects an area, damages objects in its path. It can melt metals with a low melting point, such as lead, gold, copper, silver, and bronze. If this device affects an area and causes sufficient damage to an interposing barrier to shatter or break through it, the effect may continue on beyond the barrier if the device's range permits.

PROTOTYPE
When you activate this device, you can make a technological attack with this device against any creature within range. If you hit, you deal potency 4 lightning damage.
CLUTCH
5 Rounds: The potency of this device's damage increases by 2.

REFINED
When you activate this device, it functions as though it were a prototype, but its Target entry becomes "Target: Up to two creatures, plus an additional creature per four student levels, each of which must be within 15 feet of at least one other target."
CLUTCH
5 Rounds: Your targets must instead be within 30 feet of at least one other target.

IMPROVED
When you activate this device, it functions as though it were refined, but you can choose to alter its Target entry to read "Area: 30-foot line."
CLUTCH
5 Rounds: When you choose to affect an area, it instead affects a 60-foot line.

PERFECTED
When you activate this device, it functions as though it were refined, but you can choose to alter its Target entry to read "Area: 60-foot line."
CLUTCH
5 Rounds: When you choose to affect an area, it instead affects a 60-foot cone.
