    GENERALEQUIPMENT

    RULESON-HAND OBJECTS

    To account for the mundane and innocuousobjects that most people have among theirpossessionsand not force every character tospecifically purchase such objects in order toemploy themuse the following rules.

    With the GMs permission, a character can

    make a Wealth check to see if he or she has amundane object on hand, as long as the objecthas a PDC of 10 or lower. (The GM determinesthe PDC for an object thats not mentioned inthis chapter, using similarly priced objects as aguide.) The Wealth check works the same asfor buying the object, except that the charactertakes a 10 penalty on the check, and he orshe cant take 10 or take 20. Also, a charactercant make a Wealth check to see if he or shehas a mundane object on hand during

    character generation or between adventuresonly during play. If the character succeeds, hisor her Wealth bonus is unaffected, even if theobjects PDC is higher than his or her Wealthbonus.

    Depending on the situation, the GM can rulethat a certain mundane object is not availablefor an object to be obtainable, the charactermust be in a place where the object logicallywould be.

    RESTRICTED OBJECTSSome objects require licenses to own o

    operate, or are restricted in use to qualifyingorganizations or individuals. In such cases, acharacter must purchase a license or pay a feeto legally own the object. A license or fee is aseparate item, purchased in addition to (andusually before) the object to which it appliesThe four levels of restriction are as follows.

    3/124

    Licensed: The owner must obtain a licenseto own or operate the object legally. Generally,the license is not expensive, and obtaining ithas few if any additional legal requirements.

    Restricted: Only specially qualifiedindividuals or organizations are technicallyallowed to own the object. However, the realobstacles to ownership are time and money;

    anyone with sufficient patience and cash caneventually acquire the necessary license.

    Military: The object is sold primarily tolegitimate police and military organizations. Amilitary rating is essentially the same asrestricted (see above), except thatmanufacturers and dealers are generally undertight government scrutiny and are thereforeespecially wary of selling to private individuals.

    Illegal: The object is illegal in all butspecific, highly regulated circumstances.

    1 Add to the objects PDC if the character tries tobuy it on the black market without first obtaining alicense; see The Black Market.

    Purchasing a License

    To purchase a license or pay necessaryfees, make a Wealth check against the PDCgiven in Table: Restricted Objects. With asuccess, the license is issued to the characterafter the number of days indicated. To speedthe process, the hero can make a Knowledge(business) check against a DC equal to thelicense PDC. Success results in the licensebeing issued in 1d6 hours. (During the processof character creation, a character just needs topurchase the license or pay the fee; the timerequired takes place before game play begins.)

    As a general rule, a character must obtainthe appropriate license before buying arestricted object. Legitimate dealers will notsell restricted objects to a character who doesnot have the necessary license. However, a

    character may be able to turn to the blackmarket (see below) to obtain restricted objectswithout a license.

    The Black Market

    Sometimes a character wants to obtain anobject without going through the hassle ogetting a license first. Almost anything isavailable on the black market. Knowledge(streetwise) checks can be used to locate ablack market merchant. The DC is based on thelocation in question: 15 to find a black marketmerchant in a big city, or 20, 25, or higher insmall towns and rural areas.

    Objects purchased on the black market aremore expensive than those purchased legallyAdd the black market PDC modifier from TableRestricted Objects to the objects PDC.

    Obtaining an object on the black markettakes a number of days according to the TimeRequired column on Table: Restricted ObjectsThe process can be hurried, but each day cutout of the process (to a minimum of one day)increases the PDC by an additional +1.

    REQUISITIONING EQUIPMENT

    When a hero working for Department-7needs more equipment than he or she has onhand, the hero may try to requisition itDepartment-7 evaluates whether the characterreally needs the object, how soon the agencycan supply it, and whether the agency canreasonably expect to get it back when the herois done with it.

    The result is determined by a level check(1d20 + character level) against a DC equal tothe equipments PDC. Add the charactersCharisma bonus to the check. TableRequisition Modifiers lists modifiers that mayaffect the check.

    The result of the check determines whetherand how quickly Department-7 can provide thehero with the requested equipment. With asuccess, the object is issued to the heroGenerally, it takes 24 hours to obtain an objectthrough requisition, but if the object isespecially common, or if the hero beats thecheck DC by 5 or more, it is available in 1d4hours.

    MASTERCRAFT OBJECTS

    Weapons, armor, and some other types ofequipment can be constructed as mastercraftobjects. The exceptional quality of theseobjects provides the user a bonus on attackrolls, damage, Defense, or some other

    characteristic that improves when the object isused.

    A mastercraft object that provides a +1bonus can usually be purchased on the openmarket as a custom version of a commonobject. The increased cost of such an objectadds +3 to the PDC.

    A rare few objects are of mastercraft qualityeven without customizationthe off-the-shelfversion of the object is of such high quality thatit is always provides a bonus of +1. In these

    cases, the PDC is not increased (such objectsare already priced higher than similar objectsof lower quality).

    Mastercraft objects with a bonus of +2 or+3 are not common and are generally not forsale. If a mastercraft +2 object could be foundfor purchase, its cost would add +6 to thenormal PDC. The cost of a mastercraft +3object would add +9 to the normal PDC.

    CONCEALED WEAPONS AND OBJECTS

    Its assumed that, when attempting toconceal a weapon or other object, a characteris wearing appropriate clothing.

    Drawing a concealed weapon is moredifficult than drawing a regularly holsteredweapon, and normally requires an attack

    action. Keeping the weapon in an easier-to-draw position makes concealing it moredifficult.

    Sleight of Hand Checks

    To conceal a weapon or other object, makea Sleight of Hand check. A characterconcealing an object before he or she headsout into public can usually take 10 unless he orshe is rushed, trying to conceal it when othersmight see, or under other unusual constraints

    Sleight of Hand can be used untrained in thisinstance, but the character must take 10.

    Size and Concealment

    The objects size affects the check result, asshown on Table: Concealing Weapons andObjects. The type of holster used or clothingworn, and any attempt to make a weaponeasier to draw, can also affect the check.

    Spotting Concealed Objects

    Noticing a concealed weapon or otherobject requires a Spot check. The DC varies: Ifthe target made a roll when concealing anobject, the DC of the Spot check to notice theobject is the same as the targets check result(an opposed check, in other words). If thetarget took 10 on his or her Sleight of Handcheck, use this formula:

    Spot DC = Targets Sleight of Hand skillmodifier (including modifiers from Table:Concealing Weapons and Objects) + 10

    An observer attempting to spot a concealedobject receives a 1 penalty for every 10 feetbetween him or herself and the target, and a 5 penalty if distracted.

    Patting someone down for a hidden weaponrequires a similar check. However, the skillemployed in Search, and the searcher gets a+4 circumstance bonus for the hands-on act offrisking the target. Some devices may alsooffer bonuses under certain circumstances (ametal detector offers a bonus to Search checksto find metal objects, for example).

    Spotting Concealable Armor

    Concealable armor can be worn underclothing if the wearer wants it to go unnoticed.Dont use the modifiers from Table: ConcealingWeapons and Objects when wearingconcealable armor. Instead, anyone attemptingto notice the armor must make a Spot check(DC 30).

    LIVING IN LUXURY

    The PDCs given are for average-qualityitems. Its possible to purchase similar itemswith luxury features, generally by increasingthe PDC by 1. Although such items are moreexpensive, they offer no additional features orgame benefits.

    OPERATING A BICYCLE

    Operating a bicycle uses the same rules asany other vehicle, but with a few special rules:

    Operating a bicycle uses the Balance skilinstead of Drive, but is otherwise treatedthe same when using the Vehicle rules.

    A bicycle can only reach a maximum o

    street speed and doing so requires a full-round action, unless going down asignificant downward slope (GMsdiscretion).The rider must use a full-round action to

    climb up a significant slope and can only movea maximum of alley speed on such an action. After every hour of strenuous riding, the ridermust make a Constitution check or becomefatigued for 1d10 minutes per hour of riding.

    It is a free action to get on or off a bicycle.

    All attacks made from a bicycle suffer a 2penalty. The rider cannot use any weaponsthat require both hands.

    Bicycles are Small vehicles, granting a +1bonus to Initiative, maneuver modifier, andDefense (the size modifier is alreadyincluded in the vehicle statistics on TableVehicles.)

    Bicycle tires have 2 hit points each.

    BOOKSMany scholars equate the start of the modernera with the invention of the printing press.Books remain the single most effective way topermanently codify an idea or fact and make itavailable for future generations to reference.There are many sorts of books in the world:novels, textbooks, memoirs, dictionaries,anthologiesthe list could go on forever. Someare popular and can be found in everybookstore; others are quite rare or evenunique. Rare books should be handled on acase-by-case basis. Their value, contents, andeven composition vary too widely to create ageneralized equipment entry. Books are sold inthe dominant language (or languages) of thearea. Books in other languages may, if the GMapproves, be available, but they may bedifficult to find and their PDCs will generally be1 point higher than normal.

    CLOTHING

    The items described here represent specialclothing types, or unusual outfits that acharacter might need to purchase. For themost part, clothing choice is based on

When thats thecase, he or she will have to purchase it like anyother piece of gear. Clothes have two effectson game mechanics: one on Disguise checks

    and one on Sleight of Hand checks. Firstclothing is part of a disguise. See the Disguiseskill description or more on how appropriatedress affects Disguise checks.

    Book KnowledgeBooks are full of interesting and often helpfulinformation that characters may want to accessduring their adventures. Some books, such asencyclopedias, prove helpful in a great manysituations, while others, such as novels, have veryspecialized uses (if indeed they have any practicaluse beyond entertainment). The trouble is thatreading a book is not an especially quick way to gain

    small bits of information. In fact, it often takes hoursto read through it just to determine what sort ofinformation it contains, let alone evaluate its worth.As a general rule, in 1 hour a character with theappropriate Read/Write Language skill can read anumber of pages equal to her Intelligencescore 5.

    Bail Bonds

    Characters jailed for crimes can seek bail. Bai

    is a monetary guarantee that the suspect wilshow up for his trial. The bail amount is set bya judge or magistrate, sometimes immediatelyfollowing arrest (for minor crimes) andsometimes days later (for serious crimes). Ifbail is granted, a character can arrange for abail bonda loan that covers bail. The PDCsrepresent the fees associated with the loanthe bond itself is paid back to the bond agencywhen the hero shows up for trial. If the herofails to show up, the agency loses the bail loan

    and may send bounty hunters or other thugsafter the character.Bail amounts vary dramatically, depending onthe seriousness of the crime, the suspectscriminal history, his or her role in society, his orher family life, and other factors the judgebelieves indicate that the character will or wilnot flee (or commit other crimes) before thetrial. An upstanding citizen with a good job anda family who has never before been chargedwith a crime gets minimal bail; a career

    criminal with nothing to lose gets maximumbail or may not be granted bail at all. The PDCsshown assume the suspect is viewed positivelyby the court. If not, increase the PDC by asmuch as 5. Whatever the base PDC, asuccessful Diplomacy check (DC 15) by thesuspect reduces the PDC by 2.
