Disassembly kit: This kit contains all the tools you would need to open or disassemble pretty much any commercial technology you may encounter. Portable Environment Generator At night, the generator acts as a lamp and provides the area with light. Thanks to a special energy field produced by the generator, any atmospheric changes stay within the 30 foot radius and do not escape until the device is deactivated. Essentially, the portable environment generator can produce a sphere inside which a group of people can be relatively comfortable despite extremely harsh conditions outside the generator’s influence. Binoculars(Standard): Binoculars are useful for watching opponents, wild game, and sporting events from a long distance. Magnification 50,000x Compass: A compass relies on the Earth’s magnetic field to determine the direction of magnetic north. A compass grants its user a +10% bonus on Navigate checks.

Portable Stove: This small stove works on kerosene or white gasoline, and can easily be broken down and carried for backpacking. Combat related Auto-Kinetic Gel grenades: These grenades expel a thin coat of Auto-Kinetic Gel. AKG has a unique property in that it exerts an equal amount of opposing kinetic force to any force applied to it. The result is instant immobilization. Flash bang grenade: Stun grenades are used to confuse, disorient, or distract a potential threat. A stun grenade can seriously degrade the combat effectiveness of affected personnel for up to a minute (-2 Dodge/Strike). The best known example is the M200 Stun Grenade, which produces a blinding 18 million Candela flash and deafening 180 dB blast. NeuroStun grenade: These grenades emit a pulse of energy that temporary disrupts the electromagnetic energy produced by the brain.

The device analyzes the subject's DNA and is then able to generate new skin and seal open wounds. The device is not able to heal major wounds that would require surgery. Medical Multi-Scanner: Considerably more advanced than the Bio-Scanner, a medical scanner is able to scan for life signs as well as access the over all health of the target. Nanocillin: Based on @simple nanites, nanocillin is the choice for treating most infectious diseases and poisons. Typically nanocillin is effective in a matter of minutes. Hypercoagulin: When injected into a patient with a bleeding wound, this causes near instant coagulation and a cessation of bleeding. The drug should be injected as close to the wound as possible. An injection prior to sustaining a wound will have no effect. Very large overdoses of this drug will kill causing large blood clots and death. Medical Kit: About the size of a large tackle box, this is the sort of kit commonly carried by military medics and civilian EMTs. It contains a wide variety of medical supplies and equipment. A medical kit can be used to treat a dazed, unconscious, or stunned character, to provide long-term care, to restore body points, to treat a diseased or poisoned character, or to stabilize a dying character. The kit contains Hypercoagulin to stop bleeding, Nanocillin to stop infection and counter-act poisons, and a Derma-Gen to heal tissue. First Aid Kit: Available at most drugstores and camping supply stores, this kit contains enough supplies (and simple instructions for their use) to treat an injury before transporting the injured person to a medical professional. A first aid kit can be used to help a dazed, unconscious, or stunned character by making a First Aid skill check. A first aid kit provides a +10% to the skill check. Surgery Kit: About the size of a small backpack, this kit contains the instruments needed for rudimentary emergency field surgery. A surgery kit is used when performing surgery. A character performing surgery without a surgery kit has a 40% penalty on the check. The surgery kit contains laser cutting devices and is best used with hypercoagulin to control bleeding and a Derma-Gen to aid in wound closing. Bags and Boxes With the wide variety of equipment available to modern adventurers, it’s often critical to have something to store the equipment in or carry it around in. Secure Travel Case Briefcase Contractor’s Field Bag Day Pack Handbag Range Pack Backpack: This is a good-sized backpack, made of tough water-proof material. It has one or two central sections, as well as several exterior pockets and straps for attaching tents, bedrolls, or other gear. It can carry up to 60 pounds of gear. Clothing The items described here represent special clothing types, or unusual outfits that a character might need to purchase. 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. Clothing Outfits An outfit of clothing represents everything a character needs to dress a part: pants or skirt, shirt, undergarments, appropriate shoes or boots, socks or stockings, and any necessary belt or suspenders. The clothes a character wears does not count against the weight limit for encumbrance. Each outfit provides a +10% against a disguises skill check. Casual: Casual clothes range from cut-off jeans and a T-shirt to neatly pressed khakis and a hand-knit sweater. Formal: From a little black dress to a fully appointed tuxedo, formal clothes are appropriate for “black tie” occasions. Special designer creations can have purchase prices much higher than shown on the table. Fatigues: Called “battle dress uniforms” (or BDUs) in the United States Army, these are worn by hardened veterans and wannabes alike. They’re rugged, comfortable, and provide lots of pockets. They are also printed in camouflage patterns: woodland, desert, winter (primarily white), urban (gray patterned), and black are available. Uniform: From the cable guy to a senior Air Force officer, people on the job tend to wear uniforms—making such clothing an essential part of some disguises, since a uniform inclines people to trust the wearer. Outerwear In addition to keeping a character warm and dry, coats and jackets provide additional concealment for things a character is carrying. Coat: An outer garment worn on the upper body. Its length and style vary according to fashion and use. Fatigue Jacket: A lightweight outer garment fashioned after the fatigue uniforms worn by military personnel when performing their standard duties.

Electrical Tool Kit: This collection of hand tools and small parts typically includes a variety of pliers, drivers, cutting devices, fasteners, power tools, and leads and wires. Evidence Kits: Law enforcement agencies around the world use generally the same tools to gather evidence. Having an evidence kit does not grant access to a law enforcement agency’s crime lab; it merely assists in the proper gathering and storing of evidence for use by such a lab. An evidence kit includes clean containers, labels, gloves, tweezers, swabs, and other items to gather bits of physical evidence and prevent them from becoming contaminated. plus supplies for analyzing narcotic substances at the scene and for gathering more esoteric forms of physical evidence such as casts and molds of footprints or vehicle tracks, as well as chemical residues and organic fluids. It also contains the necessary dusts, sprays, brushes, adhesives, and cards to gather fingerprints. Forgery Kit: This kit contains everything needed to use the Forgery skill to prepare forged items. Depending on the item to be forged, a character might need legal documents or other items not included in the kit. Handcuffs: Handcuffs are restraints designed to lock two limbs—normally the wrists—of a prisoner together. They fit any Medium-size or Small human or other creature that has an appropriate body structure. Power restraints: When normal handcuffs won't do the job, powercuffs are employed. Using a technology similar to Auto-Kinetic Gel, powercuffs are able to negate a certain level of strength by applying opposing negative force. In order to break free form powercuffs, someone would need to possess a strength great than 120. Lockpick Set: A lockpick set includes picks and tension bars for opening locks operated by standard keys. A lockpick set allows a character to open mechanical locks (deadbolts, keyed entry locks, and so forth) with the locksmith skill..
