Magna Caster

Exotic Weapon

     Unknown Regions, page 38.

     Damage: 3d8   Stun: —   Type: Piercing  Mode(s) Single

Initially an attempt to duplicate both the lethality and simplicity of the Wookiee bowcaster, the magna caster is unable to replicate the penetration or power of the bowcaster. However, its use of a magnetic field generator makes the weapon substantially quieter than other ranged weapons, making it ideal for game hunters who track prey easily spooked by the sudden bursts of light and loud noises of blasters.

     Its lack of noise gives a magna caster a +5 equipment bonus to Stealth checks made to snipe. A magna caster uses a case of bolts instead of a power pack. After 10 shots, the case must be replaced. A case of 10 bolts costs 50 credits and weighs 1kg.

     Accurate weapon: This weapon takes no penalty when firing at targets at short range.
