Blasters us a compressed gas to which is energized by a power sell then focused into a particle beam using magnetic fields before passing though a crystal to produce its basic energy state before being refined for the last time.  At each stage a blaster bleeds off energy back into its power cells to preserve the live of the cells.  This extensive process leaves the weapon the perfect state to deal damage.  While hand blasters are equipped with specially designed chambers that can unfocus the beam to result in a stunning effect rather than kill most large blaster weapons are meant to kill and only kill.  The instrumentation in a blaster is precisely calibrated and crafted to work. Blasters are often easily stopped by shields and if a shield stops 1/2 of the blaster's damage there is a 30% chance it will deflect the entire blast in a new direction. Medium Blaster = 3D20 + 1D12

Twin Blaster Cannon = 3D20 x 2

Story Data: Generally a blaster can be considered to be little more than an Argon Gas Laser.  Its coherent energy state is of little importance compared to its basic principles.  Blasters can be reflected and refracted by magnetic fields.  The basic blaster system is implemented in a Turbolaser but a Turbolaser uses a higher level power source with a greater degree of magnetic refinement.  The result is a system more suitable for a cannon weapon than the hand held weapon range.
