RPG Modern Weapons-The new line of weapons the US is rolling out-The Active Denial System

I was looking over weapons and I found that the US was making new weapons to replace the M-16 among other things.
I figured it would be fun to include some of these new weapons in the d20 system so I'm writting on these.

The first has been in the news a lot recently, though its not necessarly replacing anything its more of a new method. The Active Denial System is a nonleathel ray that makes people feel like they have been plunged into boiling water yet it causes no real damage. The laser can hit a fairly large crowd all at once and so is intended to be used to break up protests and to protect embassies without a major incident.

The system is so large it has its own vehical.

If you are playing a more political style modern game I think that the Active Denial System could be very important to your play as it is likely going to become an important political tool for the US in the coming years.
In alternate world games such as those related to anime the weapon could also be used by dictators as a means of keeping control of their poupulations while the news camera's where around. For example China could have used it in the recent events in Tibet to disperse the crowd then gone in later and killed the protesters.

The Active Denial System is Mounted on a Military vehical of choice this can be transport, jeep, humvee etc.

The Beam is 30 feet wide and causes all those inside it to feel like they have been plunged into boiling water. Every round inside the beam a fortitude check of DC20 must be rolled or the person has to flee the beam.
Once they leave the beam however these effects pass. However a Will Check of DC 15 must be rolled each time a person tries to reenter the beam after fleeing otherwise they will not do so.
