Phase bombs

I am NOT talking about OP field equipped warheads, but...
...what about single shot area-effect phase beamers
(which saturate an area with similar energies as the
phase beamers in DMB2)?
Opinions?

I did not thought about constant, damaging fields (thought
that it might worth its own topic), but a simple "warhead".
It goes off, and everything in the area suffers damage,
as if hit by a phase beamer. Force fields stop damage
(and get damaged), larger creatures and/or force fields
take more damage.

Sorta like the Wilk's laser grenade? Sounds fun.

An "explosive charge" can be set like a mine, a bomb, and a missile warhead... Even a grenade.
Sometimes, a single device with all these functions.

A pen is a bit too small... A cell phone (or the
Three Galactic equivalent) on the other hand...

perhaps even an X-ray laser type system where an explosive charge provides power for the phase system, destroying the warhead in the process?

Sounds like a laser grenade...

In "theory", it is possible to create a reusable bomb. What is
more, it only requires a single shot-converted weapon.
But it is also equally feasible to use a disposable device.
(Because it is not useable against you and the prometheans
will have a bigger profit margin).
Not really on this line, but such a warhead might be created
to emit several blasts once it hits...

Well... a jammer that boils one's brain (and other vital
organs), but yes.

How about pulse it once per second for 15 seconds? Say it completely burns out by the end. 4d6 sdc/hp/mdc x15...

The laser grenades kind of suck now that I look at them... but those Wilk's "blinder grenades"... those are going in my Phase World bag of tricks, fer sher!!

The phase grenade, like the laser grenade, would likely be a reuseable/rechargeable weapon. However, I can see the Promethians limiting sale of them.

They are building and selling Star Ghosts and even phase frigates
to anyone, who pays, and they do it for millenia.
Ask the second stagers why. And let me know the answer.

It was not described YET.
Generally, this type of warhead would not topple the
status quo, fits into the setting, so why not?
