Gear

Gear represents equipment that a Character can weild or wear, such as weapons and armor. The strengths of Gear are the offensive and defensive potential it can offer, along with its simplicity. Gear can be bought, used, upgraded or discarded at will, so long as the Character meets the basic requirements to use it.

Weapons are the primary method of dealing damage in combat, allowing Characters to defeat their foes. Most weapons deal one or more of three main damage types when used:

• Lethal damage which directly reduces enemy Health when making attacks. Lethal damage also reduces enemy armor, which must be penetrated before the target's Health can be damaged.

• AP damage which reduces enemy AP in their next turn for each attack made, reducing their ability to act or disabling them entirely.

• Stamina damage which drains enemy Stamina until they recover it, and can render a target unconscious if their Stamina is depleted.

These special effects simulate attacks which can unbalance, knock down, or tranquilize a target, restricting their actions and in some cases disabling them completely. There are also several weapon modifications and alternative ammunition loads which grant various benefits. Please see their respective sections below for details.

Each piece of Gear or Aug requires a given level of the Carry or Acuity passives to equip. Characters who do not meet the requirement may still attempt to use the item, but will suffer a penalty of -5AP for each missing point in a required Passive. This penalty is applied once per round, any time the equipment is used. Augs cannot be installed if the requirements are not met. ( see the Trait Map for details on Passives)

Most weapons support a variety of modifications which can change or improve aspects of their performance. These mods vary greatly in purpose and in price.

Pistol Mods

• Camo-Reactive mesh - Cost: 3k
  • Camo-Reactive mesh allows the weapon to be included in the Character's personal Active Camoflage field. The Stamina cost of activating the Aug increases by 1 Stamina per 5Kg camoflaged, rounding all fractions up. Should the entirety of the weapon ever be more than 3cm away from the user's skin, the effect is lost. Stamina is not refunded.
• Long Barrel - Cost: 500
  • A long barrel grants the weapon +5AP when making attacks outside its effective range, but levies a -5AP penalty when making attacks in confined spaces, such as inside buildings or in dense woods. Normally, making attacks outside a weapon's effective range levies a -5AP penalty for each multiple of the range exceeded. Normally making attacks in confined spaces levies a -5AP penalty for each degree of movement used that round: -5AP for walk, -10AP for run and -15 for Sprint, in addition to normal movement penalties of -5AP for run and -10AP for Sprint. This mod does not influence the natural 5AP resistance to confined space penalties that Pistols possess.
• Short Barrel - Cost: 500
  • A short barrel grants the weapon +5AP when making attacks in confined spaces, such as inside buildings or in dense woods, but levies a -5AP penalty when making attacks outside its effective range.

Normally, making attacks in confined spaces levies a -5AP penalty for each degree of movement used that round; -5AP for walk, -10AP for run and -15AP for Sprint, in addition to normal movement penalties of -5AP for run and -10AP for Sprint. This mod does not influence the natural 5AP resistance to confined space penalties that Pistols possess.

    • In short mode, gain +5AP when making attacks in confined spaces, such as inside buildings or in dense woods, but levies a -5AP penalty when making attacks outside its effective range. This penalty is only applied once; it does not stack for each multiple of range exceeded, as long range penalties do. Normally, making attacks in confined spaces levies a -5AP penalty for each degree of movement used that round; -5AP for walk, -10AP for run and -15AP for Sprint, in addition to normal movement penalties of -5AP for run and -10AP for Sprint. This mod does not influence the natural 5AP resistance to confined space penalties that Pistols possess.

  • This mod does not influence the natural 5AP resistance to confined space penalties that Pistols possess.
• Suppressor - Cost: 2k
  • When a source of detection uses Perception to detect the sound of gunshots, a Suppressor forces a -10AP penalty on the attempt. This does not enhance Stealth tests, nor does it force penalties to detect other emmisions, such as light or heat.
• Sling - Cost: 500
  • When dropping a weapon as a Quick Action to instantly free the Characters hands, the weapon no longer requires 5AP to recover and will not be left behind when the Character moves. Any number of weapons in a Character's possession may have a sling, but only 1 weapon may be actively slung at a time, meaning the benefits are not applied to any other weapon.

Most weapons can support a variety of ammunition types, altering the effect their attacks have on a target. special ammunition is often expensive due to the difficulty in producing large quantities and its specialized uses. The counterpoint to this is that special ammunition puts no additional requirements on the weapon and does not need to be installed like Weapon Mods. Every ammunition type has levels of refinement; more advanced ammunition has greater effects and can employ more effects simultaneously. For each amminition effect combined into a single round, the advancement level is counted as being 1 greater for cost purposes, without increasing the potency of the combined effects. Use the cost of the most expensive ammunition combined.

• Explosive Increases AP damage by 100% per advancement level. Costs 100 / 200 / 300 per round.

• Corrosive Does Lethal damage equal to the attack that applied it once per round. Lasts 1 round per advancement level. Stacks per Character, not per attack. Costs 100 / 200 / 300 per round.

• EMP Briefly disables target's Devices and Augs. Lasts 1 round per advancement level. Costs 150 / 300 / 450 per round.

• Shred Causes extra Lethal damage to Armor equal to the attack that applied it multiplied by advancement level. The Shred damage applies first. Costs 100 / 200 / 300 per round.

• Guided Grants +1AP when firing at long range or at small-targets per advancement level. Costs 100 / 200 / 300 per round.

• Tranquilizer Does additional Stamina Damage. Removes 5 Stamina per advancement level once per round. Requires Target's armor to be breached. Costs 50 / 100 / 150 per round.

Armor is the primary means of defense against being killed. When receiving damage, armor can absorb a certain amount of that damage before any Health is lost. For example, if a Character has 10 armor and 20 health, an attack dealing 20 damage would reduce armor to 0, then reduce Health by 10, since the 20 damage - 10 armor = 10 remaining damage to reduce Health.

• Unlike Health, armor does not cause any negative effects when it is reduced to 0, besides the fact that it cannot absorb any more damage. In order to keep absorbing damage, armor needs to be refreshed, which costs the Character Stamina.
• When refreshed, armor returns to its full value immediately and the Stamina cost to achieve this is always the same. This means spending Stamina to refresh armor is wasteful when only a small amount of damage has been absorbed. Remember that Stamina is only recovered when the Character sleeps, so use it cautiously.
  • Natural armor is a special kind of armor that can only be gained using IRIS, in the form of either Traits or Augs. Natural armor is often less plentiful than worn armor, but refreshes itself automatically every round of combat with no Stamina cost to the user.
  • Natural armor is an intrinsic part of the Character: it is not a piece of equipment and cannot be removed. The Character benefits from natural armor even even when they have no other form of protection.
  • Natural armor stacks fully with any worn armor. When damage is received, worn armor is damaged first.
