Notes on Qualities

  • (R) next to price = Restricted; not sold openly, price shown is average black-market value.
  • Stun setting: most blaster pistols/rifles can switch to Stun as an incidental; stun beams only work at Short range regardless of the weapon's normal range.
  • Vicious: on a Critical Hit, add 10× the Vicious rating to the critical injury roll.
  • Ion: only affects droids/cyborgs/unshielded electronics; deals strain, not wounds, to organics (a brief painful sting at most).
