Beam weapon
Beam weapons represent a class of ranged weapons similar to firearms that fire beams of energy instead of discrete projectiles. Many beam weapons are technological in nature.
Beam weapons on Golarion
Like much of Golarion's advanced technology, many beam weapons are remnants of the Rain of Stars that brought technology of extraplanetary origin crashing into the world. Some of these weapons include:
- Arc pistols and rifles that fire electricity beams1
- Laser pistols, rifles, torches, and x-lasers, all burning weapons that emit intensely focused light2
- Death rays, which fire beams of biologically devastating nanites3
- EMP pistols and rifles capable of disrupting robots, androids, and other electrical devices and creatures, but not living creatures3
- Gravity pistols and rifles, which can fire beams of gravity-manipulating gravitons4
- Sonic pistols and rifles capable of emitting powerful sound waves5
- Nuclear resonators, powerful sonic weapons that can be attuned to specific molecular structures6
- Zero pistols and rifles, guns that fire rays of supercooled particles7
