Default Re: Do Meson Weapons have Limitations?

In CT, meson screens were more like a defense bonus than damage resistance; you rolled a check against the screen, if it failed the attack failed, if it succeeded the attack did full damage. By comparison, armor didn't make weapons miss, it caused them to do less damage.

Other than that, PA weapons in CT were way more accurate than meson. A PA weapon could manage a base to-hit of 0+ (which became 6+ against an agility 6 target). Best base to-hit for a meson weapon was 4+.
