The players jumped all over this one, if for no better reason than to see what would happen when the thing *didnt* work...  Nullifier Gun: A close range weapon that makes use of the new metal Tibranium and the Power Nullification ability, this Ray Gun looks like something straight out of a Flash Gordon serial, with strange disks and buttons all over it. When fired, the user makes a touch attack against a target as a strange wave of energy emits from the weapon (accompanied by a warbling vibrating noise); if successful, the recipient (if a “Superhuman”) must make a Will save DC 15 or have a random power limited in effectiveness by 2d6 Power Points for 1d4 rounds (on a critical save failure, the target is also dazed for 1 round and the duration of the weapon effect is doubled). Normals are unaffected, other than a slight tingling sensation around the armpits and genitals. It can only be fired once per round, and only 4 times before needing to be “recharged” by someone with the power and knowledge to do so. It fires to a maximum of 5 range increments. Special: this is extremely new technology, and extremely unstable. This weapon malfunctions 25% of the time (on a natural roll of 5 or less). Roll d100 and refer to table in the event of malfunction: d100      Effect--------------------------------------------------------- 01 - 25  Weapon does nothing, but a charge is used nonetheless. 26 - 35  Weapon discharges normally, but uses 2 charges and ceases to work for 1d4 minutes. 36 - 45  Weapon discharges, but affects the firer also. 46 - 60  Weapon discharges wildly: add +5 to initial attack roll for every remaining charge against target (and +2 to save DC). Any super within 5’ of target for every charge fired is affected. Initially targeted super suffers twice the effects (and on a critical failure, must save again or have that power indefinitely disabled), but the firer suffers the normal effect as well. All remaining charges are discharged, and there is a 25% chance the weapon will be destroyed. 61 - 70  Weapon fails to discharge, and all remaining charges drain off harmlessly 71 - 75  Weapon backfires with terrible psychic backlash; user takes 1d4 temporary intelligence or wisdom damage (50/50) and weapon does not affect target. A charge is used normally. 76 - 85  Weapon begins terrible psychic vibration; on the next round it will “detonate” forcing all supers within 20’ to make a Will Save (DC 12 + 2 per remaining charge) or be affected by weapon’s power. Weapon is destroyed.  86 - 96  Weapon turns the tables: it does not affect Supers at all, but renders all normals within 20’ of target unconscious if they fail a Will save DC 15 + 2 per charge. Uses only one charge when this happens, and weapon works normally thereafter. 97 - 99  Weapon fires, but user (as well as target) takes 2d6 points of psychic blast damage. Any damage past vitality does not go into wounds, but into wisdom or intelligence instead (50/50). Uses one charge as normal. 00  Weapon instantly, and devastatingly, destructs. Damage is for an area effect psychic blast affecting all living things within 30’ of user. Damage is 6d6, Will Save DC 15 + 2 per remaining charge for half. Any damage past vitality points does not go into wounds, but into wisdom or intelligence instead (50/50). Anyone having their ability drained to 0 by this attack has had their mind destroyed. Weapon is fully destroyed. Range Increment: 10’, Damage: 2d6 PP, Size: M</blockquote>
