(LOL)So, beams come from a PART of a creatures body (eyes, hands, chest, left nostril, etc) which makes aiming MUCH easier, think of "point and shoot" with an actual effect.However, beam WEAPONS are hand held weapons making it harder to hit.The "Ranged touch attack" was not only to simulate how it is easier to hit with something being fired from your body, but also that it didn't need to penetrate the armor.However, high-tech beam weapons DO need to penetrate the armor, as well as are fired from an artificial source.Just some stuff to mull over.</blockquote>
