Energy weapon are powered by fusion batteries rather than kinetic power.   High Tech Skills: It is very apparent that the 4E game doesn't want to add more skills to the game system and wants you to utilize current skills in new ways. Here's my ideas about how to use skills with High Tech. Repair/Build Hi Tech Device: In a post apocalypse game technology would come from the past and so repairing or reinventing a high tech item would be a "History" skill function. Use High Tech Equipment: Arcana already has plenty of uses in the D&D system, so I propose using "Insight" for the skilled operation of computers, manufacturing machines, ancient appliance artifacts, sensors, cameras, radios, and other such devices. Computer Hacking/Hot Wiring: These would be considered Thievery skills.  Vehicle Skills: These skills would be used for skill challenges or extraordinary conditions rather than ordinary usage. Broken into three groups to give everyone a chance to be skilled in piloting a vehicle. Pilot Aircraft (i.e. rocket pack, hang glider, biplane, jet): Acrobatics skillDrive Ground Effect Vehicle (i.e. Hovercraft, Trains, Bicycles): Athletics skillSail Vessel (i.e. Sailboat, Sandskimmer): Perception Skill   Modern Warfare:ECM (Electronic Counter Measures): Stealth Plant Mines or Plan Demolitions: Dungeoneering SkillDefuse and Dispose of Explosives: ThieveryNBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) Warfare: Arcana Skill  Modern CrimeCreate Fake IDs: ThieveryLoan Sharking/Protection Racket: IntimidateWhite Collar Crimes: Bluff Fencing: Diplomacy Sciences: Biology/Botany: Nature, Xenobiology/Xenobotany: DungeoneeringCryptozoology/Physics/Astronomy: Arcana, Philosophy/Psychology: Insight, Chemistry: Alchemist Pharmacology/Gene Splicing/Cybernetics: Heal skill.</blockquote>
