Sorry, I should've written "if he didn't switch to Pulsers *only* when FB2 
was published" :-/

If Steve uses pulsers *and* class-2 beams *and/or* class-1 beams *and* 
class-1 K-guns, then that's a pretty good sign that none of these weapon 
types are particularly unbalanced. I don't doubt that he'll want to add 
some grasers into the mix as well, but I do doubt that they'll dominate

Same problem as with Aaron Teske, then. I'm afraid we can't write rules 
specifically for people who roll abnormally high, though :-/
