Armour

Servo System - halves all penalties caused by weight of armour. 2c

Tools

Diagnostic equipment supplies a bonus to the diagnosis roll on repair skills.

Specialist Tools

These tools are required for some skills.

Explosives

Using these needs the Explosive Demolitions technician skill!

Thermite damage is done to the object below the charge. If the object is destroyed, the remainder is done on the object below, and so on. If it hits a barrier (DC per m2) the hole is assumed to be 1m2 area, so if the damage done is less than the DC/m2, only a depression is made. If it is more, a hole is made, and the remainder bores down.

To detonate explosives, you need a fuse. You can combine several fuses into the same explosive charge.

Blast concentrator: this heavy pot is filled with explosive, and pointed at a target. When it explodes, ten times the damage is done in a straight line for the range times ten metres in the direction the pot is pointed, and one tenth of the damage is done for one tenth of the range around the pot (due to fragmentation). Costs 0.3c {-4}

In practice, many types of explosive can be mixed, and a gas grenade thrown in for example, which would be ripped open by the explosion, with both time and vibration fuses, so if somebody tries to disarm the bomb they get a nasty surprise.

Acid

Each milliletre (one thousandth of a litre) does 2 points of damage to soft targets, and one to hard targets. Acid costs 0.1c per litre, and can be either poured (close range) or used to fill a Fill Yourself shell... or put in a bucket over a door... {-5}

Drugs

Hypodermic spray: takes one 100ml canister, and when pushed against skin and the trigger pulled, forces the drug through the skin without piercing it. Minimal pain, like being bitten my a mosquito. Cost: 1c {-4}

10ml syringes: each costs 0.01c each. Can be filled with the below anasthetic, Truth Serum, the fluid from a Goblet of Death, Acid (in the bloodstream as little as 1ml can cause a horrible, screaming, death unless the hit limb is severed within a round), etc. {-5}

General Anasthetic: 5 Poison Points per 1ml, and costs 1c for 100ml canister. {-4}

Containers

Torture

Willpower suppressent (drug): -5 to Willpower, costs 1c per 10ml dose. See above for delivery mechanisms. {-5}

Pain generator: electrodes attach to nipples etc, variable voltage, +15 to Persuasion for interrogation, costs 3c. {-2}

Optics

Binoculars: view objects up to 500m away as if they where at touch range. Cost: 1c. Any of the below optic modules can be fitted. {-4}

Basic Goggles: provide the same port as the binoculars for the following optical enhancements to connect to, without the zoom. Cost: 0.1c {-5}

Optical enhancement modules can be fitted to the above, or any kind of camera system (although only one can be fitted at a time):

Petrol

Required for flamers and vehicles. 0.02c per litre. {-3}

Bugs

Sound bugs can be picked up by any of the below radios. Video bugs need a TV set.

Bug related

Tracer bug scanner: reports distance and direction for a tracer bug, given the frequency to listen to. Cost: 0.2c. {-3}

Bug sensor: detects feedback from nearby radio transmitters, emits a bleeping when the unit is within hearing range of a bug, and a light comes on when it is within 10cm of one. Cost: 0.3c. {-4}

Sensors

Security

Alarm systems to protect buildings or vehicles.

Building alarm control panel: needed to control all below surveillance systems. Connects to a Mainframe, if available, for computerised control and monitoring. Cost: 0.5c {-1}

Automatic phone-up alarm: when the alarm is sounded, it phones a set number and plays a set message. Cost: 0.3c {-1}

Siren: when the alarm is sounded, a peircing wail is emmitted. Cost: 0.2c {-1}

Room security sensors

Rating is a minus to Countersurveillance skill. May be combined.

Perimeter security sensors

Grounds security sensors

Lie detectors

Lies are passed convincingly if the suspect Saves With Willpower. These devices make being convincing much harder:

Skin resistance detector: -5 to Willpower, cost 0.3c {-2}

Polygraph stress monitor: -14 to Willpower, cost 3c1 {-2}

Food

Good meal in a restuarant - 0.2c {-1}

This is only available on the black market.

Bonded polymer armour plating: Black Market tecchies will double the DC of any solid object for the cost of 1c per 5 DC points added.

Chemical warfare

Grenades have a throw range of 1.5m per Strength, and create a 4m cloud. <table> !Item | !Description | !Cost | !Encumbrance Stun gas grenade | 15 poison points | 0.2c | {-4} Heavy Stun gas grenade | 25 poison points | 0.3c | {-4} Knockout gas grenade | 35 poison points | 0.4c | {-3} Death gas grenade | 45 poison points | 0.6c | {-3} 50mm Gas Rocket | 45 Poison points, 15m blast range | 1c | {-3} 100mm Gas Rocket | 45 Poison points, 20m blast range | 2c | {-2} </table>

WASP rounds

These can all be thrown 1.5m per Strength.

Drugs

Sold in canisters of 100ml (10 doses). Hypodermic spray or needlegun needed. {-5}

Combat Stimulant: When injected, add 3 to all attributes. 1c for a pack of 10. Lasts as long as 20 Poison Points would - taking into account blood filters, antitoxins, etc. If taken more than once in a 12-hour period, the user will become addicted, and need to take the stimulant at least once daily. {-5}

Antitoxin: When taken, subtract 10 poison points. Costs 1c per canister. {-5}

Spiderweb: a white crystalline web spreads over the victim for the next two rounds, making their limbs useless one by one, until the fronds strangle their brain. Cost: 1c per canister. {-5}
