The terror effects of the staff weapon are part of the whole Jaffa/
Goa'uld
system for planetary control. From what I recall all the planets still
under
control of the Goa'uld are pre industrial societies. Obviously it will
only
take a small number of troops armed with energy weapons to scare the
living
poo out of the locals. So for gaming purposes you could treat the Jaffa
as
causing a kind of tank terror against pre industrial cultures. Against
an SG
team, the Jaffa have little impact in that regard, they are just another
enemy troop type, if anything not as good as a proffesional Earth
soldier,
giving that their warfare seems to be quite ritualised (at least in
regard
to weapons and tactics). Earth based troops seem to be a lot more
innovative. And don't forget to include Spetznatz!
