Concussive Blast Gem

Gems of different types, colors, rarities and shapes are imbued with arcane powers that make them unstable, bursting with any hard impact. When these gems strike any hard surface with sufficient force, they explode, releasing the arcane energy they hold.

Concentrated and concussive blast gems can vary wildly in their weapon profiles. The rarer they are, the stronger they will be. Also, because they have much more power stored within, the rarer a blast gem, the more likely it is to react badly to other energies surrounding it.

All blasting gems have the following standard profile:
Name : Standard Gem Profile
Skill : Marksmanship / Coordination
Dam : (Rarity x 2)
Crit : 4
Range : Short
Encum : 1
Price : See Chart
Rarity : See Chart
Ammunition : Single Use
Instability : 1
Special : Blast (Rarity x 1.5)

Their damage is equal to their rarity × 2, and their blast rating is equal to their rarity × 1.5 rounded down.

Concussive blast gems have a Crit value of 4 and the Stun Damage and Stun qualities, the latter with a rating equal to half their rarity rounded down.
