Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Special weapons

Special weapons require the feats, which are only granted to s: two can be equipped, but only one can be used in each combat round, and only against a single target.

Special weapons that don't have Uses: unlimited all have Uses: 10/10. Using special weapons consumes one charge. They are automatically discarded after all available charges are consumed. Those that have charges do not stack in inventory (unless they have identical charges remaining).

Used special weapons sell for the same price regardless of how many charges remain, so there's normally no reason to avoid using them: simply use all but one charge, then sell them.

Stun rays
Stun rays inflict :, 100% for 9 seconds. A successful Will save negates this (as does Immunity: and : Stun). They have medium range.

Designed for Republic forces, these devices allow a droid to potentially devastate opponent droids or the personal shielding of an enemy, though the energy drain is quite large.

Flame throwers
Flame throwers inflict heat damage and :, 100% for 3 seconds. A successful Reflex save halves damage and a Fortitude save negates horror (as does Immunity: and : Fear). Contrary to what's stated by their descriptions (and what might be expected), flame throwers only inflict damage on a single target, not over a broad area. They have short range.

actually inflict energy damage so s can potentially inflict the most heat or fire damage in the game, although enemy droids that use them against you are extremely rare:

That's it! They can be prevented from using them by debilitating them first using a power; otherwise, any combination of a high Reflex save,, (Improved)  and  can significantly reduce or even negate damage entirely (Reflex > 13 and (Improved) Energy Resistance alone guarantee this for normal s).

Flame Thrower
This droid-mounted weapon can inflict damage over a broad area. The incendiary compounds within border on military quality, though the unit was initially designed for industrial purposes.

Baragwin Flame Thrower

 * Feats Required: Class 2
 * Uses: unlimited

Using an innovative technique, the Baragwin have managed to modify a normal flame thrower to operate in such a fashion as to ignite the very atmosphere around a charged guidance beam. The result is a flame thrower that doesn't need an external fuel source and can be run virtually indefinitely.

Carbonite projectors
Carbonite projectors inflict cold damage and :, 100%. A successful Reflex save halves damage and reduces (but does not negate) the length of paralysis (although : Paralysis prevents it entirely). They have medium range.

Only two carbonite projectors can ever be acquired (strangely, it's the less advanced one which only becomes available very late in the game), so they should be used sparingly against targets you definitely want debilitated. Enemy droids using carbonite projectors against you are also extremely rare:

That's it! They can be prevented from using them by debilitating them first using a power; otherwise, any combination of a high Reflex save,, (Improved)  and  can significantly reduce or even negate damage, ensuring being paralyzed is annoying rather than dangerous.

Carbonite Projector
The inverse of a flamethrower, this weapon uses a carbonite freezing technique to super-cool synthetic compounds hurled at a target. This unconventional weapon has not yet seen widespread use.

Gravity generators
Gravity generators inflict : for 9 seconds unless a successful Reflex save negates it.

Gravity Generator

 * Feats Required: Class 2

 * Reflex Save: DC15 to negate slow

These devices allow a droid to create localized gravity swells, the reverse effect of a repulsorlift engine. This can seemingly increase the weight of an enemy, slowing their movement.

Advanced Gravity Generator

 * Reflex Save: DC20 to negate slow

This device creates a more powerful gravity swell than the basic unit due to an unregulated energy governor. The use of such items is discouraged because of concern over environmental effects.
