Agathas Death Ray

The "death ray" that Agatha recently started using isn't. Not a death ray anyway. It appears to be a chrono displacement device (CDD) and it displaces items in its field of effect into the future. I'm just not yet sure as to how far.

How do you figure? It could just be vaporizing things.

Are you sure this was meant for the GURPS board?

Heh. It's a question for GURPS Girl Genius displaced into the far past.

Ah, but how would we stat Agatha's Death Ray? That's a legitimate GURPS question, and one which would depend on what her ray is actually doing.

If the ray is vaporizing that much stuff it has to be doing a hellacious amount of Burning damage. It might actually be cheaper to buy it as displacing matter into a different time/place. (Reverse-Snatcher? Banish: Matter?)

The glowing edges would seem to not be a feature of a send it away weapon.

I think Agatha just wants to make Gil jealous because she could have taken the army with a hand held weapon and he needed those lightning boosters.

Who the heck is Agatha and why does she have a death ray? /shrug

The titular hero of Girl Genius, a webcomic by Phil & Kaja Foglio. The webcomics section is where this thread probably belongs.

And the reason she has a death ray is because A Girl's Best Friend is Superior Firepower.

I thought Iggwilv had demonstrated that daemons are a girl's best friend...
