I'm not a physicists and I particularity don't like going into the nitty-gritty logistics of weaponry, especially since this is more fantasy than it is hard sci-fi. (The focus isn't on behind explaining the tech its about using the cool tech.) So I'm going to say Star Wars blasters, because everybody knows what those are and leave it at that. If you really want a more in-depth explanation you can PM me, but in short they go pewpew and people die. lol

@Tessaract

Do we have Storm trooper aim or Rebel trooper aim? Asking for a friend.

The real question was if I was charging and I was shot with a laser, would I get knocked back/feel the impact or would I just keep charging thinking "oh that is rather warm. I think I'm burning" - but if theyre star wars lasers, then I guess we'd feel the impacts.

I'm deeply interested.

@Nariata
Depends on if your aiming at an essential plot character or not!

@vietmyke
Yeah sorry about the assholeness/snark of my reply, your question was tots vaild. It's not really an excuse for bad behavior but you caught me admist a rather shitty migraine and ny brain decided to take out on you :[

Anyway! Yeah laser blasts have a kinetic impact to them. You'll feel it when ypu get shot!

Also side note as everybody is thinking of all these ideas and concepts. In terms of equipment more specifically tech, to help enforce real functional tech's rarity. You'll only be allowed two pieces at the start one combat: blaster, hard light sword, et cetra. And one non-combat piece like a flashlight, or something like that. Clanks only get to pick either/or because they also have thier augs and Drafters our magically wizardry folk get none, because they already have tech and it allows them to throw fireballs and other cool shit. It'll make more sense once you see the character sheet, but it's really just there to enforce the fact that, you know all these people are actual medieval people that happen to have some advanced magic-lile tech instead of future people that just happen to act like barbarians. There might be some posssible exceptions to this rule but your gonna need a good reason for why!

@FoxFire
Interest acknowledged!

EDIT: @vietmykeIf we are going with the companion thing, want to discuss some history while we wait for the actual board?

Hype hype hype hype!

@Tangletail i think you tAgged the wrong bloke.

@boomlover Indeed I did wasn't paying attention.

@vietmyke You want to discuss the history?

@Tessaract Interestingly enough, normal light does actually exert a really really small force on objects, which is where the concept of solar sails came from. So I imagine a laser gun would be able to do revolver stuff.

@Tangletail sure, shoot me a pm and we can discuss
