As prolific as he is, Chris Van Deelen continues to write and produce material which will be in publication soon. He also wrote Creatures of the Tropical Wastelands, and 100 Oddities found in a Car. Furthermore, if a successful critical hits, the target will suffer additional damage from electrical burns.ĭead Space Weapon and Armor Conversion IndexĬhris Van Deelen is the creator and contributor to over half of the Wisdom from the Wastelands series, contributor to the Swords of Kos: Hekaton anthology, and the recently released 'Swords of Kos: The Rite'. When a critical strike is achieved, the arc will continue onto a third target (if available), for less damage still.

The more the metal, the more likely the arc will strike them. However, it will always arc towards anything carrying or wearing metal.

This arc will randomly strike any target, be it friend or foe. After it strikes a target, the electrical discharge will then arc to a second target within 10 feet, albeit for less damage, but it is still effective. The weapon has a very short range, and will not be effective past the listed range. The power cells are contained in the handle of the device, and it has two long prong-like ‘barrels’ which normally could open and close in order to spot-weld, but have been changed so that they will instead fire the electrical charge. And of course some creative individual decided it would make an excellent weapon!

Originally designed to be used in construction and repair, this heavy-duty welder was commonly used by many companies, and was considered to be the state of the art arc welder. The next in a series of weapon conversions from the game trilogy 'Dead Space'.
