Energy Expulsion: Microwave

Energy Expulsion: Microwave (minor) by Cardiac

The character can create a beam of pure microwave energy, heating up the target. The radiated particles have exceptional penetration power against all non-metallic substances. Even tinfoil will deflect the rays with no damage. Everything else, however, is penetrated easily. Plastic, Kevlar, wood, glass, ceramics, and other common substances are useless as a defense. Beings wearing plastic or composite body armor (like most of the body armor types in Rifts) take damage from the microwave beam as if they weren't wearing any armor. However, a knight in a suit of metal armor is completely protected - his armor doesn't even take damage. Against force fields, electromagnetic disturbances, characters who have Invulnerability, half damage is inflicted. Those who are impervious to energy or just fire and heat take no damage at all.
