Large 19 8 lb. - True20 CompanionPulse laser rifle +9 20/+3 Energy, Autofire, 100 ft.  Large - SHPlasma pistol +6 20/+3 Energy 60 ft. Medium 17 3 lb. - True20 CompanionPlasma Pistol +9 20/+3 Energy 100 ft. Small - SHPlasma rifle +8 20/+3 Energy 80 ft. Large 19 8 lb. - True20 CompanionPlasma rifle +15 20/+3 Energy 200 ft. Large - SHOn average, the SH weaponry ends up doing nearly twice as much damage, has a significant advantage in range...you get the idea.  There's not nearly the same gap with ballistic-type weapons, but that's a whole 'nother kettle anyway.   In any case, I'm still recommending the book to folks wanting to run True20-based PA games.  It's good stuff, regardless of whether I agree with all of it or not.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
