Revision as of 14:43, 15 September 2015

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.

Shields which are stronger are less transparent. The effective Perception of a character using an energy shield may be limited.

Ludax Safety Shield PR 1 1,600 Cr Maximum Perception rank 8
Vizilian Lucent Shield PR 2 3,200 Cr Maximum Perception rank 7
Zniss Personal Protection Screen PR 3 6,400 Cr Maximum Perception rank 6
Zniss Professional Protection Screen PR 4 8,000 Cr Maximum Perception rank 5
Koltsov Interference Generator PR 5 16,000 Cr Maximum Perception rank 4
Shadefan Exo Force Field PR 6 32,000 Cr Maximum Perception rank 3

Hand-To-Hand 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.

Weapons which are described as being "two-handed" are more difficult to use with one hand. Using a two-handed weapon with one hand incurs a +3 difficulty modifier on the attack roll.

Weapons which are not described as being "two-handed" are easier to control with two hands. Using a one-handed weapon with two hands provides a +1 Accuracy bonus on the attack roll.

Psiblades

Psiblades (also known as laser swords, star blades, sun swords, and so on) are hand-to-hand weapons which project a beam of energy approximately 9mm in diameter and from 50 cm to 150 cm long. When deactivated, the weapon appears as a cylinder 25 to 30 cm long. Because psiblades are usually handcrafted by the wielder, no two are alike. They may be ornate works of art or simple unadorned tools.

Psiblades are unlike other hand-to-hand weapons: their damage rating is fixed, and not dependent on the Brawn of the wielder. A psiblade with damage rating 5 wielded by a character with rank 8 Brawn would still have a damage rating of 5.

Damage from a psiblade is penetrating. When making a protection roll against a psiblade, the defender reduces the protection rating (PR) of any equipment or power by one-half (round in defender's favor).

Psiblades are dangerous to those without the power of Premonition. The blade of a psiblade has no mass, which makes it difficult for the wielder to know where the blade is when she is not looking directly at it. If a character without Premonition fails an attack roll with a psiblade by more than three, they strike themselves with the blade and must make a protection roll against their own attack.

Psistaves are essentially two psiblades attached at their bases. When deactivated, a psistaff appears as a cylinder 30 to 60 cm long. A psistaff with both blades activated is even more dangerous to the wielder than a normal psiblade. If a character without Premonition fails an attack roll with a fully activated psistaff, even by one, they strike themselves with one of the blades and must make a protection roll against their own attack.

As with other hand-to-hand weapons, using a psistaff with one hand incurs a +3 difficulty modifier on the attack roll, while using a psiblade with two hands provides a +1 Accuracy bonus on the attack roll.

A psilance is essentially a psiblade on a long spear-like handle. Psilances are less maneuverable than psiblades and psistaves, and much less concealable, but are much safer to wield. A character without Premonition who fails an attack roll with a psilance suffers no ill effects.

Weapons which are described as being "two-handed" are more difficult to use with one hand. Using a two-handed weapon with one hand incurs a +3 difficulty modifier on the attack roll.

Weapons which are not described as being "two-handed" are easier to control with two hands. Using a one-handed weapon with two hands provides a +1 Accuracy bonus on the attack roll.

The energy blade of a psiblade is white when the weapon is first constructed, but gradually takes on a color based on the temperament of the user. Once this color is established, after a week or so of use, it does not change thereafter, even if the user does.

Table: Typical psiblade colors
Color Temperament
Red In a positive light, red indicates a healthy ego: someone powerful, sensual, passionate, and energetic. In a negative light, red indicates anger, an unforgiving nature, anxiety, or nervousness.
Orange In a positive light, orange indicates productivity and creativity: someone sociable, detail oriented, and courageous. In a negative light, it can indicate stress and addictions.
Yellow Indicates optimism, and easy-going nature, inspiration, and intelligence.
Green Indicates balance, growth, and a willingness to change. It is a strong indication of a love of people, animals, and nature.
Turquoise Indicates a sensitive, compassionate nature, that of a healer or a counselor.
Blue Indicates calm and focus. It is a strong indication of clarity, truthfulness, and an intuitive nature.
Indigo Indicates a wielder of deep feeling, someone of profound intuition and sensitivity.
Violet Indicates a sensitive nature and greater than average psychic potential. May also indicate an artistic temperament.
Lavender Indicates a wielder of great vision and imagination.

Short Range Weapons

XXXWorking

Blasters usually have a "stun" setting. It is safe to assume that a given blaster has such a setting, even if the user never enables it.

Weapons which are described as being "two-handed" are more difficult to use with one hand. Using a two-handed weapon with one hand incurs a +3 difficulty modifier on the attack roll.

Weapons which are not described as being "two-handed" are easier to control with two hands. Using a one-handed weapon with two hands provides a +1 Accuracy bonus on the attack roll.
