Indefinite (Could be given to artillery weapons, it does not mean that the missiles can travel for an indefinite period of time but simply that the range of the weapon exceeds what can be viably portrayed on the battle map)

There is no clearly defined chart as to what should cost what amount of points. This guide is based on the damage dice themselves although costs may be increased or lowered based on the range of the weapon or amount of special rules it has, or it could be decreased to make the weapon's lower cost an advantage over other weapons in its current cost bracket that have more advantageous stats and abilities. The minimum point cost a weapon can have is 0 and the maximum is 25 points.

Each ranged attack against the energy blade wielder in the same round increases their Evasion saving throw difficulty, used for deflecting, by 1 and decreases their energy blade AC bonus by 1, up to -2.

Some weapons cannot be deflected back at the enemy or bypass the energy blade AC bonus.

Although the Mechanical trait is very similar to Alien species trait, new Mechanical units do not require to have their model submitted through the Species Proposal Form as it is assumed Mechanical units are not specific to one particular planet or sector. Instead these models should be fleshed out using the Infantry or Hero proposal form used for them, in the Description section. If you wish to submit a proposal for a new bonus or ability for the Mechanical trait, you can do so in the Lore section of Databanks by using the Miscellaneous Proposal Form.
