Table D: Effectiveness
| D100 | Result |
| 01-30 | “Barely Better than toy hulk hands” (Eff. Rating 1) – 2D4 Damage if a projectile weapon has a ROF = 1 |
| 31-60 | “Meh, gets the job done” (Eff. Rating 2) – 3D4 Damage if a projectile weapon has a ROF = 1if ensnare weapon, does additional 2D4 damage on subsequent turns until captive can make successful stun save. |
| 61-90 | “Ooo, nice toy” (Eff. Rating 3) – 3D6 Damage if a projectile weapon has a ROF = 2if ensnare weapon, does additional 3D4 damage on subsequent turns until captive can make successful stun save -1. |
| 91-00 | “That’s killer!” (Eff. Rating 4) – 5D6 Damage if a projectile weapon has a ROF = 3if ensnare weapon, does additional 3D4 damage on subsequent turns until captive can make successful stun save – 3. |
Table E: Goodies
| D100 | Result (only roll on this table if prompted in Table B) |
| 01-25 | The target must roll to save against stun on a successful hit. There is a 15% chance that the attacker may get shocked – if they do, they too, must roll to save against stun. |
| 26-50 | The target must roll to save against radiation on a successful hit. There is a 5% chance that the attacker may get a dose of rads – if they do, they too, must roll to save against radiation, class equal to the weapon’s effectiveness level. |
| 51-80 | The weapon has a built-in targeting chip: +1 to hit. |
| 81-90 | Once a day, the weapon discharges a huge amount of damage – its damage roll is doubled (after the roll). However, there is a 15% chance that it will blow up and deal that damage to the user. |
| 91-00 |
You are such an ingenious inventor that this weapon’s attacks are psychic! Roll to hit as if the attack were a mental attack. Mutants with the detect mutation ability will register the weapon. However, when used in this fashion, there is a 15% that the weapon will malfunction and drain the user as if it had the “vampiric field” mutation. Roll number of d6 equal to the effectiveness rating of the weapon for its functional WIL — so if it has a effectiveness rating of 3 — roll 3d6. |
