Nothing physically prevents a character in ZeroSpace from carrying weapons and driving vehicles: there is no character point cost associated with ordinary weaponry and vehicles. However, there may be legal or financial obstacles to obtaining such equipment, even if it's relatively commonplace. Weapons are unreliable and require periodic maintenance, but this usually happens when it is convenient for the character. If a weapon ceases to function at an inconvenient time, the character will probably be granted a plot point by the GM.

Armor

Armor provides protection against most forms of direct damage: anything which inflicts endurance damage. A character with armor adds the protection rating (PR) of the armor to their Brawn when making a protection roll. As always, this protection does not stack with energy shields or other forms of protection -- only the highest protection rating applies.

Armor ranges from thin and light fabrics, virtually indistinguishable from ordinary clothing, to heavy self-contained suits which can't be mistaken for anything other than what they are. Assault armor often has additional features aside from its protection rating, such as life support, communication gear, and so on.

Heavier armor restricts a wearer's movements. The effective Agility of a character wearing armor may be limited.

Table: Typical Armor
Type Protection
Rating 		Cost Notes
Light Tactical Attire PR 1 400 Cr Maximum Agility rank 8
Medium Tactical Attire PR 2 800 Cr Maximum Agility rank 7
Heavy Tactical Attire PR 3 1,600 Cr Maximum Agility rank 6
Light Assault Armor PR 4 2,000 Cr Maximum Agility rank 5
Medium Assault Armor PR 5 4,000 Cr Maximum Agility rank 4
Heavy Assault Armor PR 6 8,000 Cr Maximum Agility rank 3

Energy Shields

Energy shields provide protection against most forms of direct damage: anything which inflicts endurance damage. A character with an energy shield adds the protection rating (PR) of the energy shield to their Brawn or Agility (whichever is better for the character at the time) when making a protection roll. As always, this protection does not stack with armor or other forms of protection -- only the highest protection rating applies.

Energy shields can be incorporated in a variety of devices, from a belt to a pair of bracelets to a harness.

Melee Weapons

Hand-to-hand weapons such as clubs and knives have a damage rating equal to the rank of the weapon or the character's Brawn rank + 1, whichever is greater. A knife with damage rating 1 wielded by a character with rank 2 Brawn would have an effective damage rating of 3.

Using extraordinary amounts of Brawn with an ordinary melee weapon may damage the weapon. If the character's Brawn is greater than the rank of the weapon + 3, it's likely that the weapon will be destroyed when it is used. For example, a character with Brawn 4 can use a wooden chair (Strike rank 1) as a melee weapon, but the chair would be smashed to pieces after the first such attack. Similarly, the blade of a two-handed great axe (Strike rank 4) would be twisted into scrap metal after being wielded a few times by a character with Brawn 8.
