Notes

• It has a 20% chance to overpower card-readers and thus open doors, however it also has a 40% chance of causing the card-reader to stop working.
• It breaks console terminals.
• Has a one in three chance to disable turrets completely, and a one in six chance to do the same to manhacks.
• Otherwise deals 10d10 (10-100) damage to robots.
• If a robot is still alive after the blast, it has a one in six chance to turn that monster friendly.
• Drains up to 40 power from the player's reserves, if they have bionic battery reserves.
• Empties the charge of all batteries in the blast (this includes any batteries dropped by dying robots!)
