Description: The traditional weapon of the Luxan warriors, a Qualta blade has two forms: a heavy sword, which Luxans wield with terrible ferocity, or a powerful blaster rifle., hidden within the swords blade. It takes one action to convert the rifle into a sword and vice versa. As a melee weapon it deals STR+2D slashing damage. The energy blasts of the rifle deal 6D energy damage and explode on target, dealing an additional 2D damage to everything within a 2 meter radius. The energy may also stun the target; the Difficulty to resist the stun to those directly hit is 12; those within the blast radius have a Difficulty of 10.

Luxans consider the weapon part of their culture and dislike other species wielding it; non-Luxans therefore may have to pay double or even triple the listed price.
