Breaking Blasts

Combat

You can get extra oomph out of your powered weaponry, at great expense to the weapon.

Engineering 5 ranks

As a full action, you can attack with a ranged weapon that deals energy damage and uses batteries or a melee weapon with the powered weapon special property. If you hit, you deal 1 additional die of damage per 5 item levels (minimum 1) of the same type the weapon normally deals. This attack causes the weapon to gain the broken condition. You can instead use this ability as a standard action on a qualifying weapon that is unattended or wielded by a willing ally to grant the same effect to that weapon’s next attack before the beginning of your next turn.
