General Equipment

This section covers the wide variety of general gear available to adventurers of all sorts.

Batteries

Many of the objects in this section are battery-operated. Any device that uses batteries comes with them. As a general rule, Secret Wars ignores battery life, and assumes that heroes (and their antagonists) are smart enough to recharge or replace their batteries between adventures, and that the batteries last as long as needed during adventures.

If battery life is important to a scene, the GM may ask a player to roll 1d20 every time a battery-operated item is used. On a result of 1, the batteries are dead and the object is useless. New batteries have a purchase DC of 2 and can be changed as a single action.
