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: Romulan disruptors were a type of hand-held disruptor weapon used by Romulan officers or as mounted weapons utilized on board starships serving the Romulan Empire. They were first seen in the 23rd century when the USS Enterprise entered the Romulan Neutral Zone to steal a cloaking device. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident")

During the 24th century, the Romulans were using a sleeker designed disruptors that featured various power settings as well as an overload setting. (TNG: "The Next Phase", "Face of the Enemy"; DS9: "The Search, Part I")

The Romulans also had two larger versions referred to as disruptor rifles. These versions were capable of firing a more powerful beam than their smaller counterparts. (TNG: "Unification I", "Unification II"; DS9: "Improbable Cause")

In 2369, Doctor Beverly Crusher was shot from a close distance with a Romulan disruptor but was frozen in time due to several temporal fragments. When the away team, including Captain Picard, Data, Geordi La Forge, and Deanna Troi, was able to return the normal timeline, Troi saved Crusher by pushing her out of the way. The Romulan officer was surprised, but wouldn't shoot at Crusher. He tried to shoot at a female alien who had been posing as a Romulan. (TNG: "Timescape")
