// DESCRIPTION
A compact cutting and welding tool used for ship repairs and construction. In combat, the focused plasma arc deals 1d10 damage at Adjacent range — it's not designed as a weapon, but it'll burn through flesh and light armor. The welder's real value is utility: it seals hull breaches, cuts through locked doors, and repairs damaged equipment. Every engineering station should have one. If you're using it as a weapon, your mission has already gone sideways.
