Description
The sonic sound wave projecto-emitter, or sonic emitter, is an energy pistol originally developed at the Big Mountain Research and Development Center for medical purposes including spine anesthesia and biogel massages. It has since been adapted for use as a general purpose weapon, projecting sonic pulses with a variety of frequencies and lethal effects, ranging from electrocution to dismemberment to disrupting force fields. The sonic emitter is composed of a metallic tube fitted with four vacuum tubes, a housing for small energy cells, a cone-shaped muzzle and a rear-mounted oscilloscope that changes color depending on the frequency programmed into the gun.
d20 Modern Rules
This weapon is a mastercraft weapon, thus imparting a +1 bonus to attack rolls.
Shooting any non-alien force field with a sonic emitter will disable it until it is manually re-enabled.
A sonic emitter has to be programmed with a particular sound that produces a variety of interesting effects upon critical hits. Bonus damage dealt by critical hit effects is not multiplied by critical hit multipliers. Each sound costs 2 TU/20 caps and requires a Sonic Emitter to be installed on. When purchasing a Sonic Emitter, the buyer may choose which sound is installed by default. Installing a sound requires a DC 25 Computer Use skill check. Sounds are listed below.

- Repair: (Parts DC: 40; Parts Used: 10; Repair DC 25; Time: 10h) A sonic emitter can be repaired with mechanical parts with a Repair check.
