Codex entry - Gear
Everyone uses gear to keep themselves alive. Ranging from armour to attachments. It's hard to stay alive in this world without some.
Be reminded, you can only have one set of armour on, and only one type of attachment per weapon part. You can't have a muffler and an extended barrel on one gun at the same time, but a bipod and a muffler is possible. Armour itself can be infinitely upgraded with attachments though. For every three 'slots' on the armour, the DEX penalty is increased.
Encumbrance: Armour and armour attachments have a way of weighing down the user. Each full encumbrance point causes -1 DEX and STR, but every two points also lowers shock damage by a degree. Smaller items like consumables and materials attribute 0.05 points to encumbrance.
Attachments: Attachments are useful upgrades than can be applied to most weapons and armour pieces to grant an additional edge in combat. Any piece of armour can have a single attachment. Firearms can typically have a barrel, underbarrel, primary/secondary optic, magazine and grip attachment. Melee weapons typically only allow a grip, guard, heft and hilt attachment.

[PTab=Armour]
Armour
Armour comes in four different types. Cloth, patch, layered, and composite. Cloth armour is lightweight, but offers very little protection. Patch armor is essentially armour that protects against a singular type of injury or damage and causes a minimal impairment to movement. Layered armour is heavier, but protects against two types of injury and/or damage. Composite armour is the strongest armor, as it typically makes the user immune to one type of damage/injury, while protecting against two others, but requires an exoskeleton to be worn. Unless the wearer has more limbs than typical, a total of seven pieces of armour can be worn. Two for the arms, two for the legs, one for the torso, one for the head and a cape to the back. These are also the possible places where attacks can target the user.
Cloth armour
Cloth armour attributes nothing towards encumbrance, making it the most lightweight armour available. Wearing a full suit of cloth armour will grant +1 DEX. If wearing a matching suit, +1 EMO.
Comfort fit - Not exactly armour. Comfortable clothes, often made with some soft inner layering, serves to soothe the wearer. Offers no physical protection, but does keep the wearer more sane during difficult times. A full suit must be worn to enjoy its effect (arms, legs, torso, head).
Attacks that damage EMO hurt for 1 point less. AP 1.
Needs 1 cloth to make. Novice armorer gear.
Leather - A lightweight type of armour that offers some minimal protection against the slashing of blades, but otherwise offers no protection.
Lowers slashing damage by a degree. AP 1.
Needs 1 processed skin to make. Apprentice armorer gear.
Hazmat - Short for 'hazardous materials', a hazmat suit helps protect against the influences of hazardous materials. Though it makes the wearer immune to poison damage, it leaves them utterly defenseless against other attacks. A full suit must be worn in order to gain it's benefits (arms, legs, torso, head).
Immune to poison damage. AP 1.
Scuba - Made to assist movement in water rather than protect the wearer. A full suit must be worn in order to enjoy its effects (arms, legs, torso, head).
+4 DEX when underwater, -2 DEX when on land. AP 1.
Patch armour
In the case of patch armour, each piece atributes 0.3 points towards encumbrance. Wearing a full suit of patch armour will grant +1 VIT. If wearing a matching suit, +3 VIT.
Kevlar - Made from a weave of ballistic fiber that can absorb high velocity impacts and distribute their force across; It serves as the primary and simplest form of protection to fend off piercing damage.
Lowers piercing damage by a degree. +1 VIT towards specific body part. AP 2.
Needs 2 synthetic fiber to make. Apprentice armorer gear.
Ceramic - Made from reinforced earth-works, ceramic plates do especially well at absorbing and redistributing the force of blunt attacks. Similar quality can be achieved with processed carapaces by creative armorers.
Lowers blunt damage by a degree. +1 VIT towards specific body part. AP 2.
Needs 2 uncommon non-metal or processed skins (carapace) to make. Apprentice armorer gear.
Metal - Made from a steel alloy, these metal plates do well at fending off sharp blades and edges, preventing slashing attacks from hurting the wearer. Similar effects can be achieved with the use of animal bones, provided the armorer knows what they're doing.
Lowers slashing damage by a degree. +1 VIT towards specific body part. AP 2.
Needs 2 common metal or common non-metal (bone) to make. Apprentice armorer gear.
Chainmail - Made from small, interlinking steel rings. These rings are somewhat protective, but are mostly useful due to their protective capacities against magic, which their particular morphology refracts upon impact.
Lowers pure mana and void damage by a degree. +1 VIT towards specific body part. AP 2.
Needs 1 processed skin (leather) and 1 common metal to make. Apprentice armorer gear.
Hide - A tough armour made from the hide of beasts. The natural layers protect the user well from the elements, as well as the influences of some magics.
Lowers water, ice and wind damage by a degree. +1 VIT towards specific body part. AP 2.
Needs 2 skins (hide) to make. Novice armorer gear.
Arachnoiyan weave - A type of silk produced by an Arachnoya. The silk is flame-retardant, thus making it excellent for resisting certain types of burning magic. Similar effects can be achieved with the use of processed scales.
Lowers fire and light damage by a degree.+1 VIT towards specific body part. AP 2.
Needs 2 uncommon non-metal (arachnoiyan silk) or processed skins (scales) to make. Apprentice armorer gear.
Layered armour
In the case of layered armour, each piece attributes to 0.5 points towards encumbrance. Wearing a full suit of layered armour will grant +2 VIT. If wearing a matching suit, +5 VIT.
Plated kevlar - A bracing of kevlar armour with either ceramic or metal plates stuck inside. The typical armour of a guardsman or SWAT officer.
Lowers piercing damage and blunt OR slashing damage by a degree. +2 VIT towards specific body part. AP 3.
Needs 1 kevlar armour and 1 metal/ceramic armour to make. Journeyman armorer gear.
Plate mail - The favoured armour of spellblades everywhere. Platemail consists of chainmail armour, covered by metal plates. This gives a nice resistance towards both the slashing of blades and the influence of certain spells.
Lowers slashing, pure mana and void damage by a degree. +2 VIT towards specific body part. AP 3.
Needs 1 chainmail and 1 metal armour to make. Journeyman armorer gear.
Arachnoiyan kevlar - A more densely weaved version of arachnoiyan silk that mimics the effects of kevlar, while granting highly flame-resistant armour.
Lowers fire, light and piercing damage by a degree. +2 VIT towards specific body part. AP 3.
Needs 2 synthetic fibers and 2 arachnoiyan silk to make. Journeyman armorer gear.
Scale armour - An assortment of earth-work plates covered in a layer of steel. It is the preferred armour of the melee fighter who likes to be resistant to blade and hammer.
Lowers blunt and slashing damage by a degree. +2 VIT towards specific body part. AP 3.
Needs 1 metal and 1 ceramic armor to make. Journeyman armorer gear.
Feather fit - Perhaps one of the more unusual armour sets. Feather fit is made from beast-feathers woven together with arachnoiyan silk, creating a set of armour that protects especially well against the elements and magic attacks of several types.
Lowers fire, light, water, ice and wind damage by a degree. +2 VIT towards specific body part. AP 3.
Need 2 great feathers and 2 arachnoiyan silk to make. Journeyman armorer gear.
Composite armour
In the case of composite armour, pieces can typically not be worn effectively without the use of an exoskeleton. For the daring soul; Each piece atributes a whole 1 point towards encumbrance. Wearing a full suit of composite armour will grant +7 VIT. If wearing a matching suit, +1 AP
Exoskeleton - A high-end piece of equipment that is meant to make the use of composite armour realistically possible. The exoskeleton will support the body, compensating for the immense weight. Alternatively, it can be worn with lighter armour, thereby benefitting from increased physical strength and speed.
+7 to DEX and STR. AP 1.
Juggernaut - Typically reserved for the most intense offensives. The juggernaut armour features large ceramic plates, which is layered in between kevlar and metal plates. It stops blunt attacks dead in their tracks, while piercing and slashing attacks have significantly diminished utility.
Immune to blunt damage. Lowers piercing and slashing damage by two degrees. +3 VIT towards specific body part. AP 4.
Needs 2 ceramic and 1 plated kevlar (metal) to make. Expert armorer gear.
IED suit - A suit of armour made from tightly weaved arachnoiyan silk, set with ceramic plates. It is typically worn by bomb defusal, as it is especially capable at resisting explosive damage.
Immune to explosive damage. Lowers blunt and fire damage by two degrees. +3 VIT towards specific body part. AP 4.
Needs 2 arachnoiyan weave and 1 plated kevlar (ceramic) to make. Expert armorer gear.
Rune-set armour - Made from a mixture of steel and ceramic plates inlaid with runes, the rune-set armour grants the ideal protection of a paladin. While granting strong protections against both slashing and blunt damage, the runes will adapt to the wielder, making them immune to whatever magic they use. Especially adaptive when the wearer can use different elements, as the armour will be able to switch immunity to whatever type of elemental damage was last dealt by the wearer.
Immune to select elemental damage. Lowers blunt and slashing damage by two degrees. +3 VIT towards specific body part. AP 4.
Custom composite armour - A skilled armorer can fix together different pieces of patch and layered armour to create something truly special.
Immune to 1 type of damage. Lower 2 types of damage by 2 degrees. +3 VIT towards specific body part. AP 4. Expert armorer gear.
Havel - Named in honour of an ancient champion of Gaya. Havel armour - also dubbed 'mage killer' armour - is made from a set of stone plates produced artificially through earth magic. It is made specifically to be resistant to most forms of magic, while also providing a modest level of protection against physical attacks.
Immune to pure mana, void, fire, light, water, ice and wind damage. Lowers blunt and slashing damage by one degree. +3 VIT towards specific body part. AP 4.
Legendary composite armour - Only a master of the craft can create the most resilient kinds of armour.
Immune to 2 types of damage. Lowers 3 types of damage by 1 degree. +3 VIT towards specific body part. AP 4. Master armorer gear.

Rebreather - A backpack-like piece of equipment that allows breathing underwater for 4 hours, at a safe limit of 25ft/9m. At 50ft/18m, allows air for only 10 minutes. Anything beyond (Both depths and time) is too dangerous.
Rangefinder - A binocular-looking piece of equipment has what a majority of issued equipment lacks- magnification. Oh yes, this thing has an adjustable zoom to the maximum of 40 times. That is more than what you can typically find on a rifle scope! Ordinarily, a spotter of a sniper team will use this in order to better observe and adjust for variables for a shot.
Increased range. (+50 meters to Mid range, and +100 meters to Mid-Long range). -2 accuracy when targeting beyond original range. Passive sensation skill activity when used at long range. Costs 3000 dollars.
Radio-pack - Ever wanted to be badass in that one war film? No not that guy with machine gun or the sniper rifle, but that dude with the sweet backpack-looking radio!

[PTab=Defensive structures]
Defensive structures
Mounted M61 - A vulcan M61 is mounted upon a tripod, most of the time behind cover. It allows for the operator to hold a defensive position.
STR and PER oriented weapon. Does piercing damage. AP 3.
Mounted TOW - A TOW is mounted upon a tripod, most of the time behind cover. It allows for the operator to hold a defensive position against vehicular attacks.
PER oriented weapon. Does explosive damage. AP 5. At 1000m+ range it will take an additional round before hitting. If the operator is hit during this round it will miss. The operator has to keep aim during the round to hit as the TOW is a constant laser guide.
Phalanx CIWS - Not only is the Phalanx CIWS the pride and renown of the SPR's anti-air project, it is also the main anti-air armament of many outposts, naval ships and bases. The awkward design of its pill-shaped body can fool one, but it is no joke. Its main purpose is deflecting incoming missile strikes, as well as taking out air-vehicles that come too close. The armament of the Phalanx CIWS is a rotary 20mm gun with radar guidance. Optionally, one could manually control it to serve as a devastating ground defence, although such measures would be drastic and desperate.
Deflect mode - Incoming missile attacks will fail to hit in a 200m vicinity of the Phalanx CIWS. Deflecting is a mode of the CIWS to which it must be switched. When in this mode, it can not perform any other attacks.
Fire mode - The Phalanx CIWS targets any target at 1000m+ range and sends a flurry of bullets at it. AP 5. In this mode the Phalanx CIWS will not deflect incoming missiles.
RIM-67 - The RIM-67 is a surface-to-air missile used by the SPR as an anti-air installation. The missile can be used to target air vehicles as well as naval ships. The missile is made to have a 10.000m long range, as well as proximity fuse. This makes the missile not only effective over a long range, but also allows it to somewhat miss its target and still do its intended damage.
Does explosive damage. AP 5. Can only target air and naval vehicles.
FN BRG-15 - This heavy machine gun is unusual for a lot of reasons. First of all, it feeds from two belts into a single chamber. Second, it used some features that were eventually co-opted by the P90, namely the bottom-facing ejection port. But most importantly, it fires 15.5x106mm bullets so fucking huge they would make an anti-materiel rifle blush at 600 rounds per minute.
STR and PER oriented weapon. AP 5. -1 DEX.
Rh 202 - The MachineKanone 20mm Rheinmetall 202 is the SRT's anti-aircraft gun. It is a 20mm auto cannon that since recently comes with radar targetting systems. The installation can be found on naval ships, outposts and bases of SRT. It is used to target close-by air-vehicles as well as possible incoming ground vehicles and infantry. Aside from this, the cannon can also be used to take down incoming missiles.
Deflect mode - Incoming missile attacks will fail to hit in a 200m vicinity of the Rh 202. Deflecting is a mode of the Rh 202 to which it must be switched. When in this mode, it can not perform any other attacks.
STR and PER oriented weapon. AP 5. In this mode, the Rh 202 can not target incoming missiles.
Starstreak - The SRT's main surface-to-air missile, which is both portable and easy to use. When fired from a missile installation, it will track down its air-born or naval target until close, after which it will deploy three smaller rockets to increase its chance to hit.
AP 5. Can only target air and naval vehicles.
Analog lock – A standard security measure found in almost any place. Cheap, but susceptible to lockpicking or breaching. If one does not have the required key, it can still be opened by these manners. Keep in mind that breaching a locked door still makes a lot of noise. Analog locks come in several tiers of difficulty. At novice, it will have a standard health, but with each higher tier it will double in health as well as require more experience to lockpick.
Electronic lock – A standard security measure to lock away useful items or important locations. These electronic locks can withstand normal lockpicking equipment and thus require a keycard or cybertool to open. Doing damage to it will raise alarm.
Camera – A standard security measurement in many secured places. The modern camera is fitted with certain recognition software, allowing it to raise alarm upon seeing detecting an intruder. Due to the recognition software being new, and due to a need to prevent false alarm, the camera will require to analyse a potential intruder for a round before raising alarm. Doing damage to it will raise alarm.
Tesla-tower - This supersized version of the teslacoil is a super-weapon originally engineered by Nikolai Tesla, and later perfected by Chinese storm mages during the second world war. It forms the Anti-air equivalent of a nuclear bomb, being able to completely neutralise any airborne target within a massive 250km range.
The structure is composed of three parts. The base, which is usually a military outpost which harbours parts for the coil during peace time, as well as serving as a safeguard against attackers trying to reach the top of the tower. The 'antenna' which is a very tall and thin structure meant for travel up and down. And finally the coil. The coil is the centrepiece of the weapon, where one can find the control room, power supply and actual armament.
The coil - as the name implies - is a large metal cage surrounding a smaller control hub. At the centre of this hub, a mesh of many activated mana crystals serves as the powersource. With control boards set up around the powersource as a means for mages to interact and operate the coil. Mana is directed from the source, converting into holy wind magic (lightning) which then makes use of a mage-operated targetting system to launch bolts at any target within range.
Due to the massive amount of mana this machine consumes, the tesla-tower causes frequent mana storms. Due to this, the coil part of the tower is disassembled when not in use so that the sensitive equipment can be properly safeguarded and maintained. Setting up such a tower can take up to a week, and most of this time is spent powering up the powersource.
