Narratively, I'm not sure why you'd apply the "dimensional slice" quality to the chainsaw version instead of the established norm of analog weapons, but perhaps there was a particularly ornery lumberjack in weapons development.</p>
<p>Or perhaps it's more meta and it's a weird quirk that was either overlooked or just accepted.</p>While no other dimensional x weapon has the powered property, they also do not have any critical effects.

<p>Might be a bit of a wait until we can get official clarification though.</p>Probably an error. With equipment tables as big as Starfinder's, there are bound to be a few (and a couple have been FAQ'd already).

<p>So...was this a typo? Is the dimensional slice curve blade supposed to be analog, or is it genuinely meant to be a powered weapon, and if so, what makes this particular weapon different from other non-powered dimensional slice weapons?</p>I'm a bit confused about the Dimensional Slice version of the Curve Blade.
