_at_@ Beam hits on a 4+, -2 to save, and is a phsyical attack only takes down
one sheild if Peratorian/Titan. Too much cheese to hit head auto make roll
on template. Keep the once per round.

_at_@ sounds good

_at_@ if a CC weapon only have a range of 15cm. I'd also lower the the CAF to a
+2. and no save mod.

_at_@ Don't like this one at all, there are no draw backs, by this I mean that
something is always affected. But the rules also seem figgity. Maybe we
could just give them a larger Mantis missile weapon instead, use the 12cm
template.

_at_@ way too much power don't like it at all

_at_@ too figgity
