It occured to me (fairly recently) that a lot of the groups around
here must have had to buy, build or steal some custom equipment. Me
being of terrible unsound mind due to a recent lecture spent most of
the time ignoring the lecturer and jotting down notes about the
equipment that our group has come up with, bought, stolen, designed
and built. So for your perusal I present a selection from the first
(and maybe last) edition of the Custom Equipment List.
Name: Anti-paranormal Generator
Weight Rating Availability Street Index Cost
5kg 1-6 Rtg+5/1week Custom Rtg*5K
Conceal
3
Discription:
This is your standard waterproofish box (available in designer
colours) with a single button (On/Off). The electronics inside emit
very high frequency sounds that are above meta / human hearing range
(unless you have frequency mods). The sound is similar to the dog
whistle effect, all non-sentient creatures (paranormals
& non paranormals) will move away from the member holding the box
(Range 10m*Rtg). Sentient Creatures that can hear it can make a will
power test verse the rating of the generator (opposed test if GM
likes). Under normal cercumstances most creatures of body less than
or equal to the rating of the generator will move away, GM's
disgression.
Mini-breather
Weight Availability Street Index Cost
0.1 Kg Custom Custom 500Y
Conceal
10
Discription:
This gizmo is prehaps one of the most useful I ever designed. It
provides enough air for one person breathing normally for about 10
minutes. Apart from obvious underwater situations this gizmo can also
be used as a counter to an air elementals noxous(sp) gas ability,
certain air vectored toxins (eg Neuro-stun). It is shaped like a
slightly overside gumguard, refilling is easy providing that you use
standard dry air.
Blood Carrier
Weight Availability Street Index Cost
0.2 Kg Custom Custom 250Y
Conceal
8
Discription:
This device works similar to a thermoflask, except instead of air or
a vaccum it is filled with a chemical. When mixed with another
chemical it produces an endothermic reaction which keeps the sample
inside frozen for several hours (about 6). It is useful for when you
have to preserve a bioritual sample and don't have a mage with a
preserve spell handy. Also it is a lot smaller than the current
powered units which last for a long time. If in a fix and running out
of the chemicals which keep it cool a mixture of ice, water and salt
will work as well but only for about 0.5 hours
Doc M.s Street Boots.
Weight Availability Street Index Cost
N/A Custom Custom 1000Y
Conceal
0 (To spot other specialities 12)
Discription:
>From casual glances these look like your standard knee high Doc
M.s (tm) with steel tips caps. However the soles of these boots are
hollow and have enough space to store small items such as chip (+
insulation), a small quantity of C12 (detonator in other boot) etc.
To make this boot even more fitting to the street, they have pop out
blades from the toe areas (between sole and foot) (Str+1L). The boots
provide 3/2 protection. (Other variations are available)
Teargas Powder
Weight Availability Street Index Cost
0.1 4/36hrs 1.5 50Y
Conceal
10
Discription:
Similar to catstink, this power is ideal for getting pesky mutts off
your tail, at least the ones that use their sence of smell. A
sprinkling of this power will cover about 2m^2. The critter makes a
body roll verses T#4 with each success reducing the 20 minute time by
about 2.5 minutes. During the time the critter will obviously be in
great pain et al.
Cybereye Contact Lenses
Weight Availability Street Index Cost Conceal
0 4/48 hrs 1 250Y 12
Discription:
This is a must for all those cybereye wannabes, available in almost
any form, these contact lenses (prescription made available) are
larger than you stanard contact lenses. When inserted they looks just
like the real thing, from solid chrome down to your standard eye
colour change. Note these are very useful when going against anti-
tech magic. The poor mage when he casts his spell can be dubbed into
believing that you are blind (decent acting role required).
Well there be a few gizmos from our repitore, some of these have been
used to great effect, others well, lets just let the situation
explains itself.
Phoenix "#$^@, its those bloody birds again, turn on the generator"
Warlock "You said that you would bring it"
Phoenix "Oops"
General silence follows.....
Any ideas, critisms etc all welcome
