Technically, Burning does no Knockback. Even if it did with 2D you'd have to use the variant where you multiply the damage before you calculated Knockback or you wouldn't have any on average.

*An equal-damage Crushing Attack that only deals Knockback would, ignoring other Enhancements/Limitations, cost 20% of what the original attack did; some GM's would require a Link surcharge, but I personally wouldn't. Note this can also be used to justify the +20% of Double Knockback. Quote:
I was thinking more along the lines of stunned foes being captured, then publicly tortured to death. Leaving them with unhealing wounds that ooze plasma (see the GURPS Bio Tech handling of burning wounds) may also be a rather effective deterrent to rebellion.

OK, I went back and edited the post. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. What do you think?

I think the Staff weapon looks good, with Varyon's, and Bracken's modifications.

Re: [Space/Thaumatology] Stargate: Fantasy - Worldbuilding thread
Looks good. A minor quibble - and something I may have missed before - is that Rcl 0 isn't really a thing, and the weapon should be Rcl 1. This doesn't really matter for a single shot weapon, but for the sake of consistency with other rules (and in case one of the variant options is a rapid-fire staff weapon), I'd suggest changing to Rcl 1.

Re: [Space/Thaumatology] Stargate: Fantasy - Worldbuilding thread
Not what I was planning on posting, but probably something that should have been asked sooner:
Stargate Question I Meaning the 'gate itself. What does it look like? 1. A big ring with symbols on it, as in canon. 2. As 1, but there are a greater variety of styles of ring. 3. A big lintel arch, like at Stonehenge, but probably wider. 4. A platform, like the ring transporters. 5. Something else (please specify). Please remember to include the number(s) of your preferred option(s) when you vote. ******* Answer: Everyone who voted went for 2, and enough went for Varyon's version that I'm making it official: "The gate used by SGC, and probably the first several gates encountered, look like they do in the movie and shows, but they will encounter rings that look quite different. This may mean multiple groups creating the Stargate system, rather than it just being a project of the Ancients, but it could also mean the group that initially set it up used a few different designs to better blend in with already-established cultures. Or just some of the designers got bored and decided to put their own twist on things... "

2 as well, for the reasons Varyon described.
