Game Notes:

  • Requires Command Level authorization for settings 11 through 16.

Firing Modes

  • Standard mode is the one typically used. It does the weapon's basic damage.
  • Pulse mode involves increasing the damage the weapon does by firing a series of rapid pulses of energy. You can simulate this by increasing the weapon's damage with extra power, or as a form of single-weapon multifire. Pulse phasers cannot use this rule; they are already optimized for this type of fire only (which is why they do much more damage than normal phasers of the same type).
  • Continuous fire mode involves maintaining a beam for longer than normal, making it easier to hit the target. This provides +1D to roll when making an attack Test to hit the target. Pulse phasers cannot fire in continuous mode.
  • Wide Beam mode allows a beam to affect a much broader area. Instead of a narrow beam, the beam widens by 10 meters for every 1D of damage sacrificed. In combat, for every 1D (1D = 3 pips) of damage sacrificed to widen the beam, the user receives a +1D bonus to hit the target. Out of combat, a sufficiently wide beam on low power settings has many uses as a tool.

Description: A type-3 phaser is the Federation's classification for the type of phaser weapon that is usually considered a rifle. This standard for phaser rifles refers to those weapons used by the Federation in the 23rd and 24th centuries. (TNG reference: Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual)
