RULES
ON-HAND OBJECTS
To account for the mundane and innocuous
objects that most people have among their
possessionsand not force every character to
specifically purchase such objects in order to
employ themuse the following rules.
With the GMs permission, a character can
make a Wealth check to see if he or she has a
mundane object on hand, as long as the object
has a PDC of 10 or lower. (The GM determines
the PDC for an object thats not mentioned in
this chapter, using similarly priced objects as a
guide.) The Wealth check works the same as
for buying the object, except that the character
takes a 10 penalty on the check, and he or
she cant take 10 or take 20. Also, a character
cant make a Wealth check to see if he or she
has a mundane object on hand during
character generation or between adventures
only during play. If the character succeeds, his
or her Wealth bonus is unaffected, even if the
objects PDC is higher than his or her Wealth
bonus.
Depending on the situation, the GM can rule
that a certain mundane object is not available;
for an object to be obtainable, the character
must be in a place where the object logically
would be.

RESTRICTED OBJECTS
Some objects require licenses to own or
operate, or are restricted in use to qualifying
organizations or individuals. In such cases, a
character must purchase a license or pay a fee
to legally own the object. A license or fee is a
separate item, purchased in addition to (and
usually before) the object to which it applies.
The four levels of restriction are as follows.
2
Licensed: The owner must obtain a license

to own or operate the object legally. Generally,
the license is not expensive, and obtaining it
has few if any additional legal requirements.
Restricted:
Only
specially
qualified
individuals or organizations are technically
allowed to own the object. However, the real
obstacles to ownership are time and money;
anyone with sufficient patience and cash can
eventually acquire the necessary license.
Military: The object is sold primarily to
legitimate police and military organizations. A
military rating is essentially the same as
restricted
(see
above),
except
that
manufacturers and dealers are generally under
tight government scrutiny and are therefore
especially wary of selling to private individuals.
Illegal: The object is illegal in all but
specific, highly regulated circumstances.
character may be able to turn to the black

market (see below) to obtain restricted objects
without a license.
The Black Market

Sometimes a character wants to obtain an
object without going through the hassle of
getting a license first. Almost anything is
available on the black market. Knowledge
(streetwise) checks can be used to locate a
black market merchant. The DC is based on the
location in question: 15 to find a black market
merchant in a big city, or 20, 25, or higher in
small towns and rural areas.
Objects purchased on the black market are
more expensive than those purchased legally.
Add the black market PDC modifier from Table:
Restricted Objects to the objects PDC.
Obtaining an object on the black market
takes a number of days according to the Time
Required column on Table: Restricted Objects.
The process can be hurried, but each day cut
out of the process (to a minimum of one day)
increases the PDC by an additional +1.

REQUISITIONING EQUIPMENT
When a hero working for Department-7
needs more equipment than he or she has on
hand, the hero may try to requisition it.
Department-7 evaluates whether the character
really needs the object, how soon the agency
can supply it, and whether the agency can
reasonably expect to get it back when the hero
is done with it.
The result is determined by a level check
(1d20 + character level) against a DC equal to
the equipments PDC. Add the characters
Charisma bonus to the check. Table:
Requisition Modifiers lists modifiers that may
affect the check.
The result of the check determines whether
and how quickly Department-7 can provide the
hero with the requested equipment. With a
success, the object is issued to the hero.
Generally, it takes 24 hours to obtain an object
through requisition, but if the object is
especially common, or if the hero beats the
check DC by 5 or more, it is available in 1d4
hours.
1 Add to the objects PDC if the character tries to

buy it on the black market without first obtaining a
license; see The Black Market.
Purchasing a License
To purchase a license or pay necessary
fees, make a Wealth check against the PDC
given in Table: Restricted Objects. With a
success, the license is issued to the character
after the number of days indicated. To speed
the process, the hero can make a Knowledge
(business) check against a DC equal to the
license PDC. Success results in the license
being issued in 1d6 hours. (During the process
of character creation, a character just needs to
purchase the license or pay the fee; the time
required takes place before game play begins.)
As a general rule, a character must obtain
the appropriate license before buying a
restricted object. Legitimate dealers will not
sell restricted objects to a character who does
not have the necessary license. However, a
3
Requisitioned objects are loaned, not given,

to the hero. Obviously, expendable objects like
ammunition dont have to be returned if used.
CONCEALED WEAPONS AND OBJECTS

Its assumed that, when attempting to
conceal a weapon or other object, a character
is wearing appropriate clothing.
Drawing a concealed weapon is more
difficult than drawing a regularly holstered
weapon, and normally requires an attack
action. Keeping the weapon in an easier-todraw position makes concealing it more
difficult.

To conceal a weapon or other object, make

a Sleight of Hand check. A character
concealing an object before he or she heads
out into public can usually take 10 unless he or
she is rushed, trying to conceal it when others
might see, or under other unusual constraints.
Sleight of Hand can be used untrained in this
instance, but the character must take 10.
+2
Size and Concealment
The objects size affects the check result, as

shown on Table: Concealing Weapons and
Objects. The type of holster used or clothing
worn, and any attempt to make a weapon
easier to draw, can also affect the check.
MASTERCRAFT OBJECTS
Weapons, armor, and some other types of
equipment can be constructed as mastercraft
objects. The exceptional quality of these
objects provides the user a bonus on attack
rolls, damage, Defense, or some other
characteristic that improves when the object is
used.
A mastercraft object that provides a +1
bonus can usually be purchased on the open
market as a custom version of a common
object. The increased cost of such an object
adds +3 to the PDC.
A rare few objects are of mastercraft quality
even without customizationthe off-the-shelf
version of the object is of such high quality that
it is always provides a bonus of +1. In these
cases, the PDC is not increased (such objects
are already priced higher than similar objects
of lower quality).
Mastercraft objects with a bonus of +2 or
+3 are not common and are generally not for
sale. If a mastercraft +2 object could be found
for purchase, its cost would add +6 to the
normal PDC. The cost of a mastercraft +3
object would add +9 to the normal PDC.

OPERATING A BICYCLE
Operating a bicycle uses the same rules as
any other vehicle, but with a few special rules:
Operating a bicycle uses the Balance skill
instead of Drive, but is otherwise treated
the same when using the Vehicle rules.
A bicycle can only reach a maximum of
street speed and doing so requires a fullround action, unless going down a
significant
downward
slope
(GMs
discretion).
The rider must use a full-round action to
climb up a significant slope and can only move
a maximum of alley speed on such an action.
After every hour of strenuous riding, the rider
must make a Constitution check or become
fatigued 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 2
penalty. The rider cannot use any weapons
that require both hands.
Bicycles are Small vehicles, granting a +1
bonus to Initiative, maneuver modifier, and
Defense (the size modifier is already
included in the vehicle statistics on Table:
Vehicles.)
Bicycle tires have 2 hit points each.

Spotting Concealed Objects

Noticing a concealed weapon or other
object requires a Spot check. The DC varies: If
the target made a roll when concealing an
object, the DC of the Spot check to notice the
object is the same as the targets check result
(an opposed check, in other words). If the
target took 10 on his or her Sleight of Hand
check, use this formula:
Spot DC = Targets Sleight of Hand skill
modifier (including modifiers from Table:
Concealing Weapons and Objects) + 10
An observer attempting to spot a concealed
object receives a 1 penalty for every 10 feet
between him or herself and the target, and a
5 penalty if distracted.
Patting someone down for a hidden weapon
requires a similar check. However, the skill
employed in Search, and the searcher gets a
+4 circumstance bonus for the hands-on act of
frisking the target. Some devices may also
offer bonuses under certain circumstances (a
metal detector offers a bonus to Search checks
to find metal objects, for example).
Spotting Concealable Armor

Concealable armor can be worn under
clothing if the wearer wants it to go unnoticed.
Dont use the modifiers from Table: Concealing
Weapons
and
Objects
when
wearing
concealable armor. Instead, anyone attempting
to notice the armor must make a Spot check
(DC 30).
LIVING IN LUXURY
The PDCs given are for average-quality
items. Its possible to purchase similar items
with luxury features, generally by increasing
the PDC by 1. Although such items are more
expensive, they offer no additional features or
game benefits.

ARMOR &

GEAR
Body armor comes in a variety of shapes and
sizes, providing varying degrees of coverage
and varying heaviness of materials.
Three feats cover proficiency in the use of
armor: Armor Proficiency (light), Armor
Proficiency (medium), and Armor Proficiency
(heavy).
LIGHT ARMOR
For the character who doesnt want to be
bogged down by more cumbersome armor
types, a leather garment or some sort of
concealable armor is just the ticket.
Buff Coat
The buff coat was a standard piece of clothing
for both the foot soldier and the cavalryman
throughout PL3 (The Age of Reason).
Historically, it offered moderate protection
against blows from swords, but was ineffective
against musket fire. It is a supple leather coat
that covers the torso and the shoulders.

the head.
The armored flight suit carries over into later
Progress Levels. Most military pilots in later
eras wear armored flight suits and helmets
essentially the same as this PL 5 version,
though in the design appropriate to their
society.

Land Warrior Armor

The Land Warrior combat system was a major
Information Age step in the ongoing effort to
increase the efficiency of the individual solder.
The primary benefits of Land Warrior armor are
found in its communications and sensor gear;
each Land Warrior armor has a built-in
computer that is capable of sending and
receiving text and image transmissions (via a
display built into the armor), including images
captured from the scope of a linked OICW
assault rifle or TacMil sniper rifle. Additionally,
the display can be linked to the scopes on
those weapons to provide real-time
representations of what the scope can see,
allowing the wearer to fire around corners with
ease. In addition to the communications and
data equipment, the armor functions as
standard infantry battle armor complete with
bullet-resistant plating and kevlar protective
gear. The armor allows for instantaneous
transmission of coordinates and targeting
information, allowing teams of Land Warriorcapable soldiers to communicate and
coordinate with ease and efficiency.

O-Yoroi
O-yoroi, also called great armor, is a full suit of
armor formed from small metal plates tied
together with colored leather lacings and
lacquered to seal them from moisture. The full
suit consists of a corselet (do-maru, covering
the stomach, chest, shoulders, and back), large
rectangular shoulder pieces (sode), an apron of
large plates to cover the thighs and knees
(haidate), a great helmet with a face mask

Space Suit
The standard space suit used by NASA and
other space programs is a completely enclosed
environment suit capable of sustaining life in
extremes of temperature and a lack of
breathable air. The suit is large and bulky,
composed of a thick body suit and helmet with
a transparent mask, all parts of which are
capable of deflecting micro-meteors and other
space-borne projectiles. Inside the suit, internal
air tanks and environmental filters maintain
temperature and pressure. Additionally, a
communications system not only allows for
radio transmissions to the space shuttle but
also allows internal sensors to monitor
biological functions that can be observed from
mission control. The space suit is poor combat

Popular Press
These are the novels, self-help books,
biographies, and other volumes that fill the
shelves of bookstores large and small
throughout the world. Most are printed in soft
cover form (what is generally referred to as a
mass-market paperback), but especially
popular books are also printed in hardcover.
Popular press books generally do not provide
any bonus on Knowledge checksthey are
written to be entertaining rather than
particularly educational. But reading an
especially appropriate volume grants the hero
a +1 equipment bonus on Knowledge checks
pertaining to a very specific subject. It is
usually necessary for someone to read an
entire volume before receiving any benefit
from a popular press book. A popular press
book is 5d10 + 200 pages long.

BOOKS
Many scholars equate the start of the modern
era with the invention of the printing press.
Books remain the single most effective way to
permanently codify an idea or fact and make it
available for future generations to reference.
There are many sorts of books in the world:
novels, textbooks, memoirs, dictionaries,
anthologiesthe list could go on forever. Some
are popular and can be found in every
bookstore; others are quite rare or even
unique. Rare books should be handled on a
case-by-case basis. Their value, contents, and
even composition vary too widely to create a
generalized equipment entry. Books are sold in
the dominant language (or languages) of the
area. Books in other languages may, if the GM
approves, be available, but they may be
difficult to find and their PDCs will generally be
1 point higher than normal.

Textbook
Encyclopedia
These books are written for students to help

them study various subjects. They are usually
printed in hardcover, and cost significantly
more than popular press books because they
have such a limited audience. Textbooks are
usually sold at university or specialty
bookstores.
They cannot generally be found in massmarket bookstores. Textbooks are good
sources of information. In general, a textbook
provides an equipment bonus ranging between
+1 and +5 to checks made in a single category
of Knowledge. One textbook might provide a
+4 equipment bonus on Knowledge (business)
checks, while another might provide a +1
equipment bonus on Knowledge (philosophy
and theology) checks. It is rarely important that
a character read an entire textbook. If she has
4 or more ranks in the Knowledge category
covered by the book, she need only read 1d6
10 pages in order to receive the appropriate
bonus. A textbook is 5d10 + 400 pages long.

A library collection may be as small as a few

large bookcases) or large enough to fill an
entire buildingor several. In any case, a

character concept. Its generally assumed that

a hero owns a reasonable wardrobe of the sorts
of clothes that fit his or her lifestyle.
Sometimes, however, a character might need
something out of the ordinary. When thats the
case, he or she will have to purchase it like any
other piece of gear. Clothes have two effects
on game mechanics: one on Disguise checks,
and one on Sleight of Hand checks. First,
clothing is part of a disguise. See the Disguise
skill description or more on how appropriate
dress affects Disguise checks. Clothes also help
to hide firearms, body armor, and small
objects. Tightly tailored clothing imposes a
penalty on an attempt to conceal an object;
clothing purposely tailored to conceal objects
provides a bonus.
Book Knowledge
Books are full of interesting and often helpful
information that characters may want to access
during their adventures. Some books, such as
encyclopedias, prove helpful in a great many
situations, while others, such as novels, have very
specialized uses (if indeed they have any practical
use beyond entertainment). The trouble is that
reading a book is not an especially quick way to gain
small bits of information. In fact, it often takes hours
to read through it just to determine what sort of
information it contains, let alone evaluate its worth.
As a general rule, in 1 hour a character with the
appropriate Read/Write Language skill can read a
number of pages equal to her Intelligence score 5.
library collection is not something a character

can carry around with him. Some collections
are specialized, with all their books devoted to
a single topic, while others are quite
generalized.
Library collections are usually accumulated
over years as an individual or organization
acquires useful books on a particular subject. It
is possible, though, to simply buy a library full
of books at one time. A standard library
collection provides a total +5 bonus on
Knowledge checks. At the time the library
collection is bought or accumulated, the
purchaser (or the GM) must decide how that
bonus is divided. All five points can be put into
a single Knowledge category, or they can be
split among several. For example, one library
collection might be able to provide +5 to
Knowledge (arcane lore) and nothing else,
while another is capable of providing +2 to
Knowledge (history), +2 to Knowledge
(business), and +1 to Knowledge (civics).

A number of types of homes are listed below.

The PDC covers the down payment, not the
total cost of the home. (A character buying a
home does not have to worry about mortgage
payments; they simply replace the heros rent,
which is already accounted for in the Wealth
system).
The small house and condo are one- or twobedroom homes, probably with curbside
parking.
41
The large condo and medium house are threebedroom homes with garage or carport parking
for one or two cars.
The large house is a four-bedroom home with a
two-car garage.
The mansion is a five- or six-bedroom home
with an extra den, spacious rooms throughout,
and a three-car garage.
All of these homes are of typical construction;
luxury appointments or avant garde design is
available with a +2 increase to the PDC.

Location dramatically affects a homes value.

The given PDC assumes a typical suburban

Services
Bail Bonds
The broad spectrum of services available to

characters is only represented in overview
here. Services are identified on Table: Services.
Characters jailed for crimes can seek bail. Bail

is a monetary guarantee that the suspect will
show up for his trial. The bail amount is set by
a judge or magistrate, sometimes immediately
following arrest (for minor crimes) and
sometimes days later (for serious crimes). If
bail is granted, a character can arrange for a
bail bonda loan that covers bail. The PDCs
represent the fees associated with the loan;
the bond itself is paid back to the bond agency
when the hero shows up for trial. If the hero
fails to show up, the agency loses the bail loan,
and may send bounty hunters or other thugs
after the character.
Bail amounts vary dramatically, depending on
the seriousness of the crime, the suspects
criminal history, his or her role in society, his or
her family life, and other factors the judge
believes indicate that the character will or will
not flee (or commit other crimes) before the
trial. An upstanding citizen with a good job and
a family who has never before been charged
with a crime gets minimal bail; a career
criminal with nothing to lose gets maximum
bail or may not be granted bail at all. The PDCs
shown assume the suspect is viewed positively
by the court. If not, increase the PDC by as
much as 5. Whatever the base PDC, a
successful Diplomacy check (DC 15) by the
suspect reduces the PDC by 2.
Auto Repair
Having a car repaired can be expensive; how
expensive depends on the amount of damage
the vehicle has suffered. The PDCs for damage
repair assume the vehicle has not actually
been disabled; if it has, increase the PDC by
+3. Repair generally takes 1 day for every 10
hit points of damage dealt, and results in the
vehicle being returned to full hit points.

A characters medical insurance is built into his

or her Wealth bonus; the PDCs represent the
ancillary expenses not covered, or only partly
covered, by insurance. Medical services must
be paid for in full regardless of whether they
are successful. See the Treat Injury skill for
more information on the medical services
described below.
In a hospital setting, the necessary treat Injury
checks are always successful. The PDC is per
check.

Caltrops are four-pronged iron spikes designed

so that one prong is pointing up when the
caltrop rests on a surface. A character scatters
caltrops on the ground to injure opponents, or
at least slow them down. One bag of twentyfive caltrops covers a single 5-foot square.
Each time a creature moves through a square
containing caltrops at any rate greater than
half speed, or each round a creature spends
fighting in such an area, the caltrops make a
touch attack roll (base attack bonus +0). A
caltrop deals 1 point of damage on a successful
hit, and the injury reduces foot speed to half
normal (a successful Treat Injury check, DC 15,
or one days rest removes this penalty). A
charging or running creature must immediately
stop if it steps on a caltrop. See the avoid
hazard stunt for the effect of caltrops on
vehicles.

Holy Water
Holy water damages undead and evil outsiders
almost as if it were acid. Typically, a flask of
holy water deals 2d4 points of damage to an
undead creature or an evil outsider on a direct
hit, or 1 point of damage if it splashes such a
creature. Also, holy water is considered
blessed, which means it has special effects on
certain creatures. A flask of holy water can be
thrown as a grenade-like weapon. A flask
breaks if thrown against the body of a
corporeal creature, but against an incorporeal
creature, the flask must be opened and the
holy water poured out onto it. Thus, you can
only douse an incorporeal creature with holy
water if you are adjacent to it. Doing so is a

Scuba Diving Gear

Scuba gear allows a swimmer to remain
underwater for a lengthy period of time. Scuba
gear consists of a buoyancy compensator and
weight belt to keep a divers buoyancy neutral
in the water, an air tank and regulator to allow
the diver to breathe, fins to aid in swimming,
and a mask for visibility. When using scuba
gear, a diver can remain underwater for up to
an hour if she does not exceed a depth of 30
feet, 30 minutes if she doesnt exceed a depth
of 60 feet, and 15 minutes if she doesnt
exceed a depth of 90 feet. It takes five minutes
to don or remove scuba gear. Scuba gear
imposes a penalty of 2 on all Dexterity checks,
Dexterity based skill checks, and melee and
ranged attack rolls while in the water. On land,
these penalties double. In addition, the
wearers speed falls to one-quarter the normal
speed (removing the fins eliminates this speed
penalty).

Spike Strip
This device is designed to help the police end
car chases. The strip comes rolled in a spool
about the size of a small suitcase. Deploy it by
rolling it across a roadway, where it lies like a
flat, segmented belt. (The user can roll it out
onto the road without entering the lane of
traffic.) Until the strip is activated, the spikes
do not protrude, and cars can pass safely over
it. When the user activates it (via a control
device attached to the end of the strip by a 10foot-long cord), the spikes extend.
Each time a creature moves through a square
containing an activated spike strip at any rate
greater than half speed, or each round a
creature spends fighting in such an area, the
spike strip makes a touch attack roll (base

In-Line Skates
In-line skates allow a character to increase his
or her speed by an additional 20 feet per round
on level ground and an additional 30 feet per
round on a downward slope. The character can
only take attack or move actions while using inline skates (no full-round actions except a
double move). If the character attempts any
fancy maneuvers, he must make a Balance
check (DC 10); the DC can increase based on
how difficult the GM determines the maneuver
to be. A failed check means that he falls, taking
damage as if he fell 10 feet vertically for every
20 feet of movement.

Skateboard
Skis and Snowboards
The skateboard has become a ubiquitous part

of city living. On level ground, a skateboard
increases a persons speed by an additional 10
feet per round. On a downward slope, this
increases by an additional 20 feet per round.
The character can only take attack or move
actions while riding a skateboard. Any time he
does anything fancy, the rider must make a
Balance check (DC 15). The DC can increase
based on how difficult a maneuver he is
attempting. A failed check means that he falls,
taking damage as if he fell 10 feet vertically for

For game purposes, skis and snowboards

operate the same way. When moving downhill
on snow or icy terrain, the characters speed
increases by an additional 30 feet per move
action (20 feet when using cross-country skis
on more-or-less level terrain). A person can
only move at half speed while using skis up a
slope. Any time the character performs some
sort of fancy maneuver, he must make a
Balance check (DC 15). The DC can increase
based on how difficult a maneuver he is
attempting. A failed check means that he falls,
taking damage as if he fell 10 feet vertically for

these weapons varies from weapon to weapon;
some are considered simple weapons (covered

Axe, Orc Double

An orc double axe is a double weapon. You can
fight with it as if fighting with two weapons, but
if you do, you incur all the normal attack
penalties associated with fighting with two
weapons, as if you were wielding a one-handed
weapon and a light weapon. A creature using a
double weapon in one hand, such as an ogre
using an orc double axe, cant use it as a

Mace, Heavy and Light

A development of the club, a mace consists of
a strong, heavy wooden, metal-reinforced, or
metal shaft, with a head made of stone,
copper, bronze, iron or steel.
The head is normally about the same or slightly
thicker than the diameter of the shaft and can
be shaped with flanges, or knobs to allow
greater penetration of armour. The length of
maces can vary considerably. The maces of
foot soldiers were usually quite short (two or
three feet). The maces of cavalrymen were
longer and better designed for blows from
91
horseback. Two-handed maces ("mauls") could

be even larger. The flail is often, though
incorrectly, referred to as a mace.
Maces are rarely used today for actual combat,
but a large number of government bodies (for
instance the U.S. Congress), universities and
other institutions have ceremonial maces used
as symbols of authority, in rituals and
processions and for other purposes.

Ranseur
This curious-looking polearm has reach. You
can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but
you cant use it against an adjacent foe.
With a ranseur, you get a +2 bonus on your
opposed attack rolls when attempting to
disarm an opponent (including the roll to avoid
being disarmed if you fail to disarm your
opponent).
The ranseur, the "hilted polearm", is essentially
a spear with a hilt. The hilt served primarily to
block opponents weapons, and possibly trap
the weapon for disarming. The hilt was
sometimes also used secondarily as an
alternate way to attack. The hilt often hooked
backwards also, so that it could be used as a
hook.

bolas is a ranged weapon that can be used to
entangle a Small or larger opponent. First, you
make a ranged touch attack against the target.
The target must be at least 10 feet away, as
the bolas cannot be used against adjacent
opponents. If the attack roll succeeds, the
target is entangled. A target can free itself

Crossbow, Grapple-Firing
This device helps heroes scale unclimbable
walls, bridge chasms, escape down buildings,
and the like. A grapple-firing crossbow is a
heavy crossbow modified to fire a special,
grapple-headed metal bolt attached to 100 feet
of thin, light line.
107
A successful shot at an appropriate target

indicates that the grapple has hooked onto
something, anchoring the rope firmly enough
for a character to ascend it with a successful
Climb check (DC 15). Failure brings one of
three results: the grapple simply failed to snag
anything, it has lodged but is not secure
enough to support a characters weight, or
theres simply nothing up there for it to catch
onto. In the first case, the user can simply
recoil the rope and try again. In the second
case, a successful Intelligence check (DC 10)
made before anyone tries to climb reveals the
instability. The user cannot free that grapple
but may try to fire another. (Should anyone try
to climb the unstable rope, the grapple gives
way after the climber has progressed 2d10
feet. Determine damage normally for the
resulting fall.) In the third case, retries
automatically fail.
A character can easily anchor a grapple-bolt by
hand in a niche or use pitons to secure it on
smooth stone. This provides the same aid for
descent without the need to fire the weapon.

Flamethrower
A flamethrower consists of a pressurized
backpack containing fuel, connected to a tube
with a nozzle. It shoots a 5-foot-wide, 30-footlong line of flame that deals 3d6 points of fire
damage to all creatures and objects in its path.
No attack roll is necessary, and thus no feat is
needed to operate the weapon effectively. Any
creature caught in the line of flame can make a
Reflex save (DC 15) to take half damage.
Creatures with cover get a bonus on their
Reflex save.
A flamethrowers backpack has hardness 5 and
5 hit points. When worn, the backpack has a
Defense equal to 9 + the wearers Dexterity
modifier + the wearers class bonus. A
backpack reduced to 0 hit points ruptures and
explodes, dealing 6d6 points of fire damage to
the wearer (no save allowed) and 3d6 points of
splash damage to creatures and objects in
adjacent 5-foot squares (Reflex save, DC 15,
for half damage).
Any creature or flammable object that takes
damage from a flamethrower catches on fire,
taking 1d6 points of fire damage each
subsequent round until the flames are
extinguished. A fire engulfing a single creature
or object can be doused or smothered as a fullround action. Discharging a fire extinguisher is
a move action and instantly smothers flames in
a 10-foot-by-10-foot area.
A flamethrower can shoot 10 times before the
fuel supply is depleted. Refilling or replacing a
fuel pack has a PDC of 13.
Flare Gun
Normally used as a signaling device, a flare
gun can be used as a weapon in a pinch. If
fired in the air, it releases a brightly colored
flame that can be seen for miles, depending on
surrounding terrain. A flare gun automatically
ignites flammable items. It should be noted
that the flare gun can technically be used
with 12-gauge shotgun shells. It is NOT
recommended as it may very well cause the
weapon to be destroyed, and the wielder to
take the full damage from the exploding shell..

Net
A fighting net has small barbs in the weave and
a trailing rope to control netted opponents. You
use it to entangle opponents.
When you throw a net, you make a ranged
touch attack against your target. A nets
maximum range is 10 feet, and you suffer no
range penalties to throw it even to its
maximum range. If you hit, the target is
entangled. An entangled creature suffers a 2
penalty on attack rolls and a 4 penalty on
effective Dexterity.
The entangled creature can only move at half
speed and cannot charge or run. If you control
the trailing rope by succeeding at an opposed
Strength check while holding it, the entangled
creature can only move within the limits that
the rope allows. If the entangled creature
attempts to cast a spell, it must succeed at a
Concentration check (DC 15) or the spell fails.
The entangled creature can escape with an
Escape Artist check (DC 20) that requires a fullround action. The net has 5 hit points and can
be burst with a Strength check (DC 25, also a
full-round action).
A net is only useful against creatures within
one size category of you. For instance, a Small
character wielding a net can entangle Tiny,
Small, and Medium creatures.
A net must be folded to be thrown effectively.
The first time you throw your net in a fight, you
make a normal ranged touch attack roll. After
the net is unfolded, you suffer a 4 penalty on
attack rolls with it. It takes 2 rounds for a
proficient user to fold a net and twice that long
for a nonproficient one to do so.

character may draw a shuriken as a free
action.

Slingshot
Less powerful than a regular sling, a slingshot
has a strong pair of rubber bands attached to a
V-shaped handle. The damage listed in the
table is for lead bullets (as the sling above), but
you can also hurl other small objects like
firecrackers, paintballs, rocks, and the like.

Speargun
A speargun uses a powerful set of bands to
propel a stainless steel shaft at the target.
Most speargun shafts are tied to a thin, strong
line (DC 20 Strength check to break). This line
is attached to a reel, allowing the shooter to
draw the shaft back.
If you deal damage to your opponent, the shaft
may lodge in the victim if the victim fails a
Reflex saving throw against a DC equal to 10 +
the damage dealt. The creature moves at only
half speed and cannot charge or run while a
spear is lodged in its body. If you control the
trailing rope by succeeding at an opposed
Strength check while holding it, the harpooned
creature can only move within the limits that
the rope allows (the trailing rope is 30 feet
long). If the speared creature attempts to cast
a spell, it must succeed at a Concentration
check (DC 15) or the spell fails.
The speared creature can pull the shaft from its
wound if it takes a full-round action, but in so
doing it deals 2d6 points of damage to itself.
Reloading a speargun is a full-round action.

Sticky Foam Sprayer

This bulky and unusual weapon looks similar to
a flamethrower, with a fuel tank and sprayer
nozzle. However, instead of jellied flaming fuel,
the sticky foam sprayer launches a stream of
liquid goop that hinders movement and can
create impromptu barriers.
The sticky foam sprayer has a range of 15 feet
and fills a 5-foot square per round. A creature
hit by the sticky foam suffers a 2 penalty to
attack rolls and a 4 penalty to effective
Dexterity. The entangled character must make
a Reflex save (DC 15) or be glued to the floor,
unable to move. A creature simply moving into
a square with the foam also must make this
save, but does not suffer the penalty to attack
rolls or Dexterity. Even with a successful save,
it can only move at half speed. Creatures that
are Huge or larger are unaffected by sticky
foam.
A character who is glued to the floor can break
free with a successful Strength check (DC 20)
or by dealing 15 points of damage to the sticky
foam with a slashing weapon. A character
113
trying to scrape sticky foam off himself, or

another character assisting, does not need to
make an attack roll; hitting the sticky foam is
automatic, after which the character who hit
rolls damage to see how much of the goo he
scraped off.
A character capable of spellcasting who is
bound by the sticky foam must make a
Concentration check (DC 15) to cast a spell.
The sticky foam becomes brittle and breaks
apart easily after 10 minutes.
the stream can make a Reflex save (DC 15) to

take half damage (if applicable). Creatures with
cover get a bonus on their Reflex save.
Regular water deals no damage, but special
substances (such as holy water) can be used
for different effects. If you make a full-round
attack against a target, it deals the same
amount of damage as a vial of the substance
an attack action does not produce enough of a
stream to deal damage.
The super watergun has a handle that must be
pumped to shoot, thus requiring both hands to
use effectively. A super watergun cannot hold
acid, which will eat through the thin plastic
tank in a matter of seconds. The entire tank of
water must contain the given substance to be
effective mixing with regular water will
negate the effect.

A variety of problems have been found with

Sticky Foam:
It can be lethal if sprayed toward the

face, causing immediate suffocation.
However the foam could be useful for
denying access to certain rooms or
corridors, as in the case of a drug raid or
a prison riot.
Currently there is no "antidote", while the foam

is non-toxic, the solvents that unstuck a person
are potentially toxic, and so far, no totally safe
and effective solvent has been found. The
other alternative is to cut the individual out of
their clothing with a pair of scissors.

Taser
A taser uses springs or compressed air to fire a
pair of darts at a target. On impact, the darts
release a powerful electrical current. On a
successful hit, the darts deal 1d4 points of
electricity damage and the target must make a
Fortitude saving throw (DC 15) or be paralyzed
for 1d6 rounds. Reloading a taser is a full-round
action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

Super Watergun
The super watergun is a toy gun that shoots a
thin stream of water. The tank holds enough
water to shoot 5 times before needing to be
refilled. A super watergun has a maximum
range of 10 feet. No attack roll is required to
hit, and thus no feat is required to operate one
effectively. Any creature caught in the path of

Whip
Whips deal a small amount of lethal damage.
Although a character doesnt fire the
weapon, treat a whip as a ranged weapon with
a maximum range of 15 feet and no range
penalties.
Because a whip can wrap around an enemys
leg or other limb, a character can make a trip
attack with it by succeeding at a ranged touch
attack. The character does not provoke an
attack of opportunity when using a whip in this
way. If the character is tripped during his or
her own trip attempt, the character can drop
the whip to avoid being tripped.
When using a whip, a character gets a +2
bonus on your opposed attack roll when
attempting to disarm an opponent (including
the roll to keep from being disarmed if the
character fails to disarm the opponent).

Water Cannon
Used for crowd control and riot dispersion,
water cannons are essentially mounted fire
hoses built into vehicles with a large tank. A
water cannon can fire continuously for 2
minutes before needing to be refilled.
A person struck by a water cannon takes 1d10
points of nonlethal damage per round, and
must make a Reflex save (DC 15) or be
knocked prone by the force of the blast. A
water cannon that is attached to a vehicle
cannot be removed. Use these same statistics
if attacking someone with a fire hose.

As if modern weapons werent dangerous

enough, a number of accessories can increase
their utility or efficiency.
Detonator
A detonator activates an explosive, causing it
to explode. The device consists of an
electrically activated blasting cap and some
sort of device that delivers the electrical
charge to set off the blasting cap. Connecting a
detonator to an explosive requires a
Demolitions check (DC 15). Failure means that
the explosive fails to go off as planned. Failure
by 10 or more means the explosive goes off as
the detonator is being installed.
Booby Trap Kit

This small package consists of a spring-loaded
device with a hair-trigger pin. It can be wired to
a blasting cap or other detonator (not included
with the kit), and is used by attaching the pin
to a tripwire or pull-cord. If someone trips or
cuts the tripwire, the spring action sets off the
detonator (and hence the explosive).

Blasting Cap
This is a detonator without a built-in controller.
It can be wired into any electrical device, such
as a light switch or a cars ignition switch, with
a Demolitions check (DC 10). When the
electrical device is activated, the detonator
goes off.

Radio Control
This device consists of two parts: the detonator
itself and the activation device. The activation
device is an electronic item about the size of a
deck of cards, with an antenna, a safety, and
an activation switch. When the switch is
toggled, the activation device sends a signal to
the detonator by radio, setting it off. It has a
range of 500 feet.

Laser Sight
A concealed carry holster is designed to help

keep a weapon out of sight (see Concealed

shoulder holster (the weapon fits under the
wearers armpit, presumably beneath a jacket).
This small laser mounts on a firearm, and

projects a tiny red dot on the weapons target.
A laser sight grants a +1 equipment bonus on

than 30 feet away. However, a laser sight cant

Scope
Electro-Optical
A scope is a sighting device that makes it

easier to hit targets at long range. However,
although a scope magnifies the image of the
target, it has a very limited field of view,
making it difficult to use.
An electro-optical scope functions the same as

a standard scope in normal light. In darkness,
however, the user sees through it as if he or
she had the darkvision ability granted by night
vision goggles.

The d20 Modern Roleplaying Game doesn't
provide guidelines for telescopic scopes, but a
set of rules governing the use of such devices
can lend considerable realism to the game. The
following are suggested:
When using a telescopic scope, a hero

cannot use automatic fire, or the Burst
Fire, Double Tap, or Strafe feats.
A hero gains the benefits of the Dead

Aim and Far Shot feats when using a
telescopic scope, even if she does not
have those feats or qualify for them.
A hero using a telescopic scope takes a 10 penalty on Spot checks made to

detect opponents within 30 feet.
Making an attack when using a

telescopic scope requires a full-round
action.
A telescopic scope provides no benefit at

ranges less than 50 feet.
Depending on their quality, telescopic

scopes provide varying equipment
bonuses on attack rolls, according to the
following table.
Standard
A standard scope increases the range
increment for a ranged weapon by one-half
(multiply by 1.5). However, to use a scope a
character must spend an attack action
acquiring his or her target. If the character
changes targets or otherwise lose sight of the
target, he or she must reacquire the target to
gain the benefit of the scope.

speed that propel a bullet as it is fired. This

eliminates the noise from the bullets firing,
dramatically reducing the sound the weapon
makes when it is used. For handguns, the only
sound is the mechanical action of the weapon
(Listen check, DC 15, to notice). For longarms,
the supersonic speed of the bullet itself still
makes noise. However, its difficult to tell
where the sound is coming from, requiring a
Listen check (DC 15) to locate the source of the
gunfire.
Modifying a weapon to accept a suppressor
requires a Repair check (DC 15). Once a
weapon has been modified in this manner, a
suppressor can be attached or removed as a
move action.
Suppressors cannot be used on revolvers or
shotguns. A suppressor purchased for one
weapon can be used for any other weapon that
fires the same caliber of ammunition.
