Each of the Pillars is measured in tons. Picture one of the standing stones from Stonehenge to get an idea of what those stones have to be like. >>>From what I've read about Crystal swords and Cyrstal spears - the stuff is >> hard like metal (treat as steel or iron weapons) but has an armor divisor >> of (2) and does >> roughly twice the damage that ordinary weapons do.

On a strict electrical aspect, that would be the case. Those crystal blades seem to be in the vicinity of a standard weight short sword. Call it about 1 lb total for its effects. Hmmm. Maybe 360 kilowatts isn't going to be a good "model" for this :( >Perhaps you could push this to the transmitter side? > > >Do they work indefinitely without running out of energy? >From the way the description works - the work indefinitely providing they are within the transmitter's range. The only limits to power is how many can be attuned to the stonehenge style transmitter (ie, one crystal per Massive Stone pillar) or unlimited numbers within a 21 mile radius. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
