Posted: 05 Sep 06 7:32 PM Sounds like someone didn't read the description given in Backshot...

Posted: 06 Sep 06 2:45 AM Bos, you have to forgive the poor lad, his allowance is not big enough to permit him to buy more than a few bags of Twizzlers at a time  and he moves his lips when he reads.  But we still love him too much. eric_bean34 2313 posts www.myspace.com/mcbaencreations Joined 7/22/2006 Re: Got it!

Posted: 07 Sep 06 10:15 PM MASER: originally stood for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.  Similar to LASER, except that nowaday both terms are words in their own right.  LASER was originally called "optical MASER" until it was distinguished from its parent with its own acronym.  More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maser (Note reference to StarFist in article, courtesy of Yours Truly) As far as whether a maser weapon could indeed kill someone with just a few seconds (or less) exposure, maybe D&D know something few others do.  Sci Fi frequenty presages the future, as you may be aware.  Page 2 of 3 Previous123Next    Starfist: Force Recon  Force Recon II: PointBlank  Got it!...
