Weapons of the Future: Reality and Solar Echoes (part 5)


The Long Range Acoustic Device can be used by our military to send a warning message to someone suspicious that is approaching our troops. The device fires narrow beams of sound waves and can be clearly heard almost a thousand feet away. If so desired, the power can be augmented and a warning tone can be projected so loudly that anyone in its path would have no choice but cover their ears and run. In Solar Echoes, the Reln have developed a similar weapon—the Reln Sonic Striker. The sonic emitter on the weapon emits a loud burst of sound waves when fired, and this burst causes everyone within 50 feet to suffer a -1 penalty to all Skill checks for the following round. This technology was inspired by the Reln's own ultrasonic screeching ability, where they can naturally produce a high-pitched blast of sound harmful to the ears of other creatures, causing temporary deafness and the “shaken” condition (-1 to all Skills.)
