Flashlight

By 2080, flashlights are long lasting and super bright. This light is designed to point where your gun is without being obvious; a recessed light source makes it tough for outside observers to see exactly where the light is coming from. Unless you’re directly in its path, in which case you see it to well.

Availability:

Cost:

¥50

Notes:

+2 Dice Pool Modifier to Perception tests when using the flashlight in an area/on an object.
Causes Blinded III if pointed at a user with Low-Light vision within 10 meters.
Causes Blinded I if pointed at a user within 10 meters.
Provides Partial Light.

Flashlight, Low-Light

Even a small flashlight can be downright blinding when operating with low-light systems, so the engineering geniuses of the world designed this little baby. It looks like a regular flashlight, but the light it puts out registers and reflects far better with low-light-perceiving systems, whether they be biological or technological in nature. Those with low-light vision get a substantial improvement to their viewing, but those with unenhanced eyeballs see, at most, a dull purple glow.

Availability:

Cost:

¥100

Notes:

This flashlight is only visible to individuals with low-light vision and provides a free point of Edge in situations where this provides a suitable advantage.

Flashlight, Thermographic

This is basically a flashlight for trolls and dwarfs with thermographic vision along with those who use the tech enhancement version of it. It’s not like it tosses out heat - that would be counterproductive - but it instead tosses infrared light, which reflects back nicely (if a little strangely) for those able to detect it.

Availability:

Cost:

¥100

Notes:

This flashlight is only visible to individuals with thermographic vision and provides a free point of Edge in situations where this provides a suitable advantage.

Flashlight, UV

UV lights serve the same function of other flashlights, but additionally contain enough UV to trigger the allergy of any creature with a weakness to sunlight.

Folding MetaChair

Look, this is a luxury and probably unnecessary. But when you spend enough time going from place to place with chairs that don’t fit you, or that threaten to break the moment you place any weight on them, you start to wish you just had a reliable chair you could bring with you anywhere. This is that chair. It compresses to a cylinder only slightly larger than your favorite soykaf thermos, but when assembled, it can hold an ork easily. The chair sets up within minutes—or faster, with the microbot-enabled self-assembly model. Do you want to make a statement that you will make a place for yourself in the world? Then set one of these up in whatever trog-unfriendly place you visit, and show that any place can be made to suit you

Notes:

Folding MaxiMetaChair

The MaxiMetaChair is made for the metatype with a wide body and an even wider hoop, and it can hold a troll (though when compressed, it has twice the volume of the smaller version). The chair sets up within minutes - or faster, with the microbot-enabled self-assembly model. Do you want to make a statement that you will make a place for yourself in the world? Then set one of these up in whatever trog-unfriendly place you visit, and show that any place can be made to suit you

-4 Social Rating when worn by itself.

Gecko Tape Gloves

The outer layer of these gloves is made of a special dry adhesive that incorporates millions of fine microscopic hairs that bond to other surfaces. Individually, these bonding forces are tiny, but combined they’re strong enough to attach a troll, upside down, to the ceiling. Gecko tape gloves come as a set that includes gloves, kneepads, and slip-on-soles. You get to use assisted climbing when you’re wearing the set. Gecko tape gloves are useless when they’re wet.

Availability:

Cost:

¥250

Notes:

Wireless: The adhesive outer layer can be temporarily neutralized with a wireless signal, useful for getting the gloves on and off without getting them stuck to yourself or each other.

Grapple Gun

This gun shoots a grappling hook and attached rope up to sixty meters or one hundred meters depending on the type of line. It comes equipped with an internal winch to retract the grapple or pull up small loads of up to ten kilograms. Micro rope can be fired up to 100 meters and supports a weight of up to 100 kilograms; standard and stealth ropes only reach sixty meters but can support a weight of up to 400 kilos.

Hitting someone with the end causes 3P Fire damage and causes Burning.

Mana Compass

Superficially resembling a standard compass, on closer inspection the needle is glass rather than metal. Embedded within one end of the needle is an extremely tiny droplet of orichalcum. This compass, simply called a mana compass, always points toward the largest nearby active magical source. They are rare and sought after by mundane researchers of magical theory and phenomena. Magicians with the Masking metamagic concealing their owner are not detected. It does not point to mana sources on the astral plane. Extremely strong magical effects such as an alchera or mana storm cause the needle of the compass to spin wildly.

Availability:

Cost:

¥32,000

Notes:

The compass points to a mana source if it is within a number of meters equal to the Force of a spell, manifested spirit, focus, or other similar effect.

Micro-Flare Launcher

The flare launcher shoots colored flares 200 meters into the air, illuminating an area the size of a city block for a couple of minutes and negating the advantage of poor or low lighting.

Parachute, Standard

Standard recreational parachutes utilize a parasail design, allowing users to experience optimal maneuverability and directional control, so as to position themselves for an accurate and soft landing. The wireless Altitude Activating Device detects your rate of fall versus your altitude, allowing for the reserve chute to open in the event of a user's incapacitation.

Availability:

Cost:

¥500

Notes:

400kg weight capacity.
+¥500 to increase weight capacity to 1,000kg.
AAD: Automatically deploys if user is incapacitated.

Parachute, Low Altitude

Low altitude parachutes are designed for parachute jumps at a height of 500 meters (1,500 feet) or less. Instead of a parasail design, low-altitude parachutes employ the standard dome canopy. More often than not, low-altitude parachutes employ a static-line ripcord, which means that the parachute deploys within four seconds aft er the user has left the aircraft. Low altitude parachutes are the standard parachute used by military airborne paratroopers

Availability:

Cost:

¥120

Notes:

400kg weight capacity.
+¥500 to increase weight capacity to 1,000kg.
AAD: Automatically deploys if user is incapacitated.
Allows for high-altitude drops and contains a built-in air tank with 10 minutes of oxygen.

Parachute, HALO

HALO stands for “High Altitude, Low Opening.” Th ese chutes are strong enough to slow down a parachutist dropping at terminal velocity when opened at an extremely low altitude. HALO parachutes also are designed to provide better gliding capabilities, both for increased accuracy in hitting the landing zone and for a safer landing. HALO parachutes come equipped with a face mask and small air tank that allows the user to breathe and see at high altitude, where oxygen levels are normally too thin for survival. The wireless Altitude Activating Device detects your rate of fall versus your altitude, allowing for the reserve chute to open in the event of a user's incapacitation.

Availability:

Cost:

¥12,000

Notes:

400kg weight capacity.

Microwire Rope

This rope is made of an extremely thin (nearly monofilament) and resilient polymer; a great length of it can be stored in a very small compartment, and it is very difficult to see. The downside is that it can only be grabbed with special protective rappelling gloves without slicing straight through the climber’s hands, inflicting 5P damage.

Availability:

Cost:

¥50 per 100m

Notes:

Requires a Perception + Logic (6) to see.
Requires Rappelling Gloves to use without slicing through the climber's hands.
Can hold up to 100kg.

Availability:

Cost:

¥200 per 10m

Notes:

Wireless: Control the rope at a range up to 30 meters.

Reinforced Rope

Normal and stealth rope typically hold 400 kilograms, which seems like more than enough for most metatypes, but put two trolls on a single rope - or even an ork and a troll - and you have trouble. Reinforced rope provides extra strength when you need to haul multiple trogs. Both the standard and stealth variants hold up to 600 kilograms, while reinforced micro rope can hold 200 kilograms (which leaves trolls still out of luck, but it’s at least something for orks!).
