Special Maneuvers
Pulsed Beam - A singular beam attack. Any targets that are caught in the pulsed beam must make a Dexterity saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + Your Proficiency Bonus + Your Dexterity or Intelligence Modifier (Unless otherwise stated). Targets that failed their saves take 4d8 Lightning damage, and targets that succeeded on their saves take half as much damage.
Sustained Beam - You maintain the beam for an extended period in a chosen direction as an Action, and you must remain stationary to maintain the beam. On each of your turns, you may redirect the beam to a point of your choosing as an Action. The target closest to you inside the beam also creates a splash radius of electromagnetically charged particulate, creating a 15ft sphere centered on them. Any targets caught inside or starting their turn inside the beam and the 15ft. sphere must make a Dexterity Saving throw. On a failed save, a target takes 6d8 Sundering II Lightning Damage, and half as much on a successful save. You can maintain the sustained beam for up to 3 of your turns, consuming 6 charges per turn spent firing, after which the weapon cannot fire for 1 turn. Being struck in melee ends the beam early. Once you have used this maneuver, you may not use it again until you finish a Short or Long rest.
Special Properties
Ignores Resistances - This weapon's damage ignores all resistances and resistance mods when used against Constructs, Electronics, Robotics, and Vehicles.
Electromagnetic Pulse - Attacks from this weapon can potentially disable Constructs, Electronics, Robotics, and Vehicles. Electronics and Robotics that are caught in the beam are affected by this property. Any electronic pieces of equipment are disrupted and unable to function for 1 minute. Any robotics caught in the beam must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence Modifier or be stunned until an Action is taken to reboot them. Organic or Living targets are otherwise unaffected by the EMP's effects. Constructs, Electronics, Robotics, and Vehicles also take an additional 2d8 Lightning damage from this weapon's attacks.
Heavy
Lightning Chain - Lightning arcs from the first target struck by a successful attack to a nearby target within 15 feet, dealing your Proficiency Bonus in unmitigated Lightning damage to the secondary target.
Paneling Bypass - The Sustained Beam goes through unarmored or unshielded paneling and directly hits internal parts and occupants for half damage.
Particle Beam Diffusion - The beam does half the rolled damage outside of its effective range.
Rechargeable - Expended Power Cells will recharge fully after finishing a Long Rest.
Sundering I - The weapon ignores Grade 1 Elemental Resistances and treats Elemental Resistances as one Grade lower within its effective range.
Vehicle-Compatible - This weapon is designed for usage with vehicles. While attached to a vehicle's turret, its effective range extends by 180 feet and its long range extends by 360 feet, and removes the once per rest usage limitation on the Sustained Beam maneuver.
Loading: This weapon regains half of its charges on a Short Rest, and all charges on a Long Rest.
Jamming: This weapon does not jam.
Handling: 2-Handed
The Fei Chang Dynamics LSP-40 is designed with more utilitarian purposes in mind, despite it being the cousin to the deadly ES-89. It is built to disable electronics and other magnetically-sensitive equipment through emitting a plasma beam via a linear particle accelerator, but it is much more short range as a consequence of using larger particles that it charges with EM radiation. It is one of the few instances where plasma weaponry was developed outside of dwarven engineering labs and without their oversight. The weapon utilizes an integrated power cell.
