Description

Your super-scientific blaster pistol can generate damaging heat or can launch a burst of force capable of flinging targets away from you. The push effect fills a straight line 5 feet wide and 30 feet long. Targets in the area must succeed on a Strength check (DC 10 + Push rank) or be flung back a distance rank equal to the Push rank - the target’s mass rank - the target’s growth rank. Characters within the area receive a Dodge resistance check (DC 18) to reduce the Push effect rank from 8 to 4.
