Mongoose
I'm a bit embarrassed to have to ask this question, but embarrassing myself has never been a problem in the past.. :lol:
In the core rules page 111 on Sand Casters it states in part.. "... small particles which counteract the strength of lasers and protect the ship. A sand caster reduces the damage from a beam weapon by 1d6"
(This is a word problem to me.. in making a declarative statement by singling out "lasers" in the first sentence, it suggests the exclusion of other types of weapons. But in the following sentence it adds "beam weapons". A particle gun is a beam weapon. If the paragraph would have simply stuck to "laser" or "beam weapon" in both sentences I wouldn't be asking.
Sorry for being deep in the weeds on this one guys. Just would like a mongoose interpretation on this.
Per the description, since a Particle beam is considered a beam weapon, does a sand caster reduce the damage from one just like it does from lasers? It's been so long since I played CT I simply cannot remember... My players have a particle gun on their ship, so I want to be sure.
They also have plasma guns on their ship (based on the plasma from Trillion Credit Squadron). One of my players mentioned that he remembers CT sand casters ALSO reduced damage from plasma.
Anyone know the Mongoose "final word" on this?
Thanks.
