The psi creature projects the manifested power through the length of the weapon. The power is released towards a target that it focuses on through the focusing rail on the top. It activates when the psi creature places a finger on the power stone (in this illustration, blue) and manifests. The pistol grip is mounted on a hinged receiver that lowers down and away from the manifester. When the power stone is fully discharged, a new power stone can be inserted into the receiver.

Hey Solli! I remember things like those out of UFO Aftermath. heh heh.

Some of them did damage. Calling them a gun was misleading though, as a game mechanic they permitted psi attacks. Little ones confused & stunned, big ones did more. The mind control ones were downright deadly - have a team mostly in one place to concentrate their firepower, then the aliens go and mind control the guy with the biggest stick - and the only way to solve that is either kill him or the alien who psi'd him... which promptly ducks into cover again... while Captain Bigstick plasma-rifles half the team in 3 seconds... and won't snap out of it...



Evil game. Heh heh.

Updating...



Psi Rifle Technology is a newer application to the Legion's art of conquest. It was developed by the goblins some two years ago and since has replaced most of their range weapon capability. In fact, their rapid, hard hitting, tactics are built around large units using these weapons in battle.

Although it has the appearance of a weapon made up of several electro-mechanical parts it is mainly constructed of a runed solid wood capacitor that, when activated by psionics, sends an energy beam along its length and towards a target. The weapon is powered by a power stone that is inserted into a chamber hidden by a hinged lower hand grip assembly. Any creature with psionic ability can activate a charge by simple putting the butt into their shoulder, pointing the weapon at a target, then touch the power stone through the power stone aperture and mentally designating a target. The target is then subject to a ranged touch attack of the Energy Ray power as listed in the psionic/wilder powers list. Only the Mark III heavy adapter can be used to augment the Energy Ray. Augmenting the ray takes up an extra charge per power point used to augment, (maximum 5). Each power stone holds 30 charges.

The weapon is also fitted with a concentration rail (Conrail). The Conrail is used to focus the psionic energy of the wielder. This feature allows the psionic to trade rate of fire for continued gain of psionic focus. In other words, characters will be able to take 15 when using the Conrail.

There are currently three models being used by Torg's minions. Here are some key abilities of each type:
