Re: Energy weapons

One race in spelljammer thatdoes use energy weapons is Beholders.  Their
tyrany ships allow them to magnify and focus their eye-stock powers.
I never really read the rules on this very closely, but I use a
house-rule where the beams power diminishes with distance.  In the
same hex with the ship, the beam is at full power and/or  saving
throws for the target ship are normal.  One hex away and the beam does
75% or the target saves with a +4 bonus. At two hexes; 50% or save
with +8 bonus. At three hexes, 25% or save at +12.  The beam is only
harmless light at four or five hexes.
