Would lasers be considered "ray" attacks?


Iron Gods

So, I'm playing in Iron Gods as an Oread, and I have the following alternate racial trait:

Advanced Race Guide wrote:
Crystalline Form: Oreads with this trait gain a +2 racial bonus to AC against rays thanks to their reflective crystalline skin. In addition, once per day, they can deflect a single ray attack targeted at them as if they were using the Deflect Arrows feat. This racial trait replaces earth affinity.

Would this work vs laser/beam attacks? We're just starting to encounter this sort of thing, so I wanted to see if there's a rule or something I missed regarding this.

Thanks very much!

I can't speak with authority regarding lasers, but as the guy who wrote that racial trait, I would totally allow you to use it on laser attacks.

That's up to the GM, but it certainly makes sense to me.
