MACHINES AND ITEMS

 

Machines

 

Machines are useful but immobile objects throughout the game worlds with a variety of very useful functions. Machines are physically represented indoors with things like vending machines, pay phones, and computer terminals, with tags labeling the type of machine they are. Outdoors, machines could be phys repped by tagged generators, sign posts, or even very large trees. You can use machines a limited number of times per night.

 

You have a number of ‘Interfaces’ (use of any machine) per night equal to your Cyber Affinity and you can use machines that many times per night. After that, you can no longer interface with machines. One interface is needed for each time you use any machine, so with CYB 3, you could use an Autodoc 3 times, or an Autodoc once, a Revitalizer once, and a Recharger once, or any other different combination of three uses.

 

Unless otherwise noted, ‘interfacing’ with any machine requires one minute (sixty seconds) of appropriate ‘roleplay’, where you pantomime the machine’s functions and make appropriate sound effects. During these sixty seconds, you must have uninterrupted contact with the machine.

 

There is no way for any character to ‘move’ a machine in an inconvenient location- but with enough nanites, Hackers can build many of these machines wherever they like.

 

Short list of common machines and their functions:

Autodocs- When they are interfaced with, Autodoc stations fully restore your Health, and remove the Poisoned, Bleeding, all Toxins, and Crippled status effects. Autodocs have Damage Reduction 20 (ignores the first 20 points of damage) versus attacks directed at its occupant.

 

Revitalizer- When they are interfaced with, Revitalizers fully restore your Energy.

 

Recharger- When they are interfaced with, Rechargers fully restore the Charge of up to CYB Batteries you have on your person.

 

Trauma Unit- When a Dying character is placed in a Trauma unit, he is stabilized, awakened and healed to 1 Health. A Trauma Unit takes 1 Minute to work, like all machines. A Trauma Unit has no effect on any living and conscious character who attempts to interface with it. Trauma Units have no effect on Androids and Autons, who die instantly when their health reaches 0.

 

A Trauma Unit has Damage Reduction 20 (ignores the first 20 points of damage) versus attacks directed at its occupant. For instance, throwing a Frag Grenade (25 Force) at a Bleeding Out character in a Trauma Unit would deal only five damage, not enough to overkill.

 

A character can be placed in a Trauma Unit, with no ill effects, a number of times per night equal to IMP. For every additional time per night that character is placed in a Trauma Unit in excess of IMP times, he loses .2 PUR and gains .2 IMP.

 

Waste Disposal Units- When a Sleeping, Paralyzed, Unconscious, Dying or otherwise totally incapacitated character is placed in a Waste Disposal Unit, he is immediately Destroyed, by being ‘Spaced’ (ejected or flushed out into the vaccum) or incinerated. Using a waste disposal unit counts as an Interface for the person disposing of their victim. Having no Interfaces left does not save you from being disposed of. A waste disposal unit takes only 10 seconds to interface with.

 

A conscious character can’t be placed in a disposal unit– unless they are ‘Smashed’ with Smash damage directly into it, with enough Smash damage left ‘unwalked’ to go at least 10 feet past the Waste Disposal Unit. If this happens, it doesn’t require an interface from anyone, and the character is instantly Destroyed.

 

Autoshop- When interfaced with, an Autoshop can automatically generate items if you insert the correct amount of nanites. Different Autoshops sell different item at different prices– most autoshops have a menu of 6 items (3 Level 1 Items, 2 Level 2 Items, and 1 Level 3 Item) set at prices equal to two times the cost of crafting the item with Nanoaugmentation. One interface allows you to buy CYB items.

 

Cloning Bay- When they are interfaced with, a Cloning Bay allows organic mortal charactes (anything but Androids, Autons, and Incubi/Succubi) to create clones of themselves, to be awakened later, upon their death. Clones cost 1,000 Nanites plus 100 Nanites x the Generation of the Clone created. (See the section on Destruction and Cloning in the next chapter.) Interfacing with a cloning bay must be roleplayed for five minutes.

 

Backup Storage- This storage unit uses nanotechnology to create a ‘Backup’ copy of any Android or Auton, to activate upon the first unit’s destruction. The cost of creating a Backup is determined by the following formula. (Add Body, Mind, Quk, and CYB and multiply by 50. That’s the cost, in Nanites, of creating a Backup.) Interfacing with backup storage must be roleplayed for five minutes.

 

Door Locks- When they are interfaced with, a Door Lock may unlock the door if you have the keycard, the correct password, or the ability to ‘Hack’ open a door. Interacing with a doorlock can be done on a three count.

 

V.R. Rigs- When they are interfaced with, V.R. Rigs allow you to spend Skill Points and Purity Points to learn {Cyb.} Skills. For each interface with a V.R. rig, you can learn a number of times per day Cybernetic skills and/or levels of Cybernetic skills equal to your CYB. Learning a skill at a V.R. Rig must be roleplayed for one minute with a GM present. If a GM is not contacted and present, you don’t learn any skills and waste your interface. You cannot learn new {Cyb} skills without interfacing with a V.R. rig. V.R. rigs also provide access to Virtual Reality (see below).

 

You might find other machines beside these that perform functions unique to certain locations or scenarios. The rules for these machines will be on their tags, or explained by a GM. You’re responsible for knowing the rules of the machines listed here, and only the machines listed here.

 

Machines, Damage and Breaking

 

Unless otherwise noted, all machines take double damage from Shock and Pulse.

 

Autoshops, Rechargers, Waste Disposal Units, and Level 1 and 2 Door Locks can all be broken by 50 points of any kind of non-Stun damage; this does not all have to be in one hit. These devices do have a Threshold of 5, however, meaning that whatever hits them must do more than 5 points of damage to do any at all.

 

Autodocs, Revitalizers, Trauma Units, and Level 3 and 4 Door Locks can all be broken only by 50 points of Shock or Pulse Damage, applying the double damage done by these types as usual. For example, a Pulse Grenade, which does 25 Pulse, would be doing 50 damage to one of these machines and thus could destroy it. This does not all have to be in one hit, however, these devices do have a Threshold of 10, meaning that whatever hits them must do more than 10 points of damage to do any at all.

 

Cloning Bays, V.R. Rigs and Level 5 Door Locks can never be broken.

 

If any machine is destroyed while someone is interfacing with it, that user takes 25 Force damage, which no defensive call can counter or reduce.

 

Virtual Reality

 

At various points in the game you can use a V.R. rig to access the Virtual Reality world of the Net. While using a V.R. rig your physical body is safely encased in a sealed metal compartment while you use your mind to navigate the Net. The Net is used for communication and meetings between planets, and information gathering and research. In the Net you are represented by your Avatar, a lo-res digital version of yourself with your skills, abilities, and equipment. Hackers with the Netcraft skill can customize their Avatars and have additional capabilities in V.R. However, sometimes in the Net, when things get ugly, because of trying to access restricted files or being ambushed by enemy hackers, V.R. combat becomes a necessity.

 

V.R. combat uses the same rules as any other combat with a few exceptions. You receive a number of Evades in the Net equal to your CYB stat, instead of QUK, and these Evades don’t count towards your normal Evades for the night. When you are killed on the Net, you don’t necessarily die in the real world. What happens depends on what Zone you’re in. Normally, you can leave VR at any point by simply calling ‘I Jack Out,’. However, combat situations have restrictions that also depend on what Zone you’re in.

In a White Zone, you can leave V.R. and return to the real world at any time by calling ‘I Jack Out 1, I Jack Out 2, I Jack Out 3.”. If you die in a White Zone, you return to the real world at the V.R. rig, alive but dumpshocked- Confused for 1 minute. No damage you take in a White Zone affects your real body.

 

In a Gray Zone, only Hackers with Netcraft have the option of jacking out to avoid combat, as above. Everyone else is trapped in V.R. until the combat ends, one way or another. If you die in a Gray Zone, you return to the real world Knocked Out. You will wake up in 5 + IMP minutes, as usual, with 1 Health.

 

In an Ultraviolet Zone, no one can Jack Out until combat is completed. If you are killed in an Ultraviolet Zone, your body in the real world dies as well– you will exit V.R. and be Bleeding Out in the V.R. rig you entered from.

 

When you first use a V.R. rig to access a Virtual Domain, you will be told what Zone you’re in.

 

Items

 

Items are useful and portable items players can buy, sell, carry, use, make, and recycle. Items include but are not limited to all the weapons listed in the above chapter, their ammunition, and a variety of other gadgets– from medical supplies to skeleton keys to thermographic goggles, and everything in between– that fall into various miscellaneous categories.

 

All items have a nanite cost to craft, and all items must have their creation roleplayed for a set amount of time. The higher a character’s Nanoaugmentation skill, the more items he can craft, and the less restrictions exist on where he can craft them. Characters with Nanotech Assembler can also recycle items into their base nanites, which can be used as currency or to make new items.

Crafting Requirements

 

Level 0 Items can be made (but not necessarily recycled) by any character in the same room as a power source (working machine). Characters with any level of Nanotech Assembler can make and recycle Level 0 items in the same room as a power source. Characters with any level of Nanotech Assembler as a cybered skill can make and recycle Level 0 items anywhere.

(Level 0 Items take 30 seconds of roleplaying to craft or recycle.)

 

Level 1 Items can be made and recycled by characters with Nanotech Assembler (Level 1 or higher) skill in the same room as a power source, or anywhere by characters with Nanotech Assembler 1 or higher as a cybered skill.

(Level 1 Items take 1 minute of roleplaying to craft or recycle.)

 

Level 2 Items can be made and recycled by characters with Nanotech Assembler (Level 2) skill in the same room as a power source, or anywhere by characters with Nanotech Assembler 2 or higher as a cybered skill.

(Level 2 Items take 5 minutes of roleplaying to craft or recycle.)

 

Level 3 Items can be made and reycled anywhere by characters with Nanotech Assembler 3 or higher.

(Level 3 Items take 10 minutes of roleplaying to craft or recycle.)

 

Level 4 Items can be made and recycled anywhere by characters with Nanotech Assembler 4.

(Level 4 Items take 30 minutes of roleplaying to craft or recycle.)

If a chalk line can’t be drawn on the ground, a mine can’t be set in that area. If a player is able to notice the line, his character notices the laser tripwire. If anyone but the person who created this mine crosses the line, an explosion is triggered that causes 50 Fire Splash Piercing damage (that can’t be Soaked or Evaded) to that character. Mine is destroyed when the laser is tripped.

SP costs are only paid once: further modifications to future weapons cost only nanites.

 

Automatics

I: Scope

SP Cost: 15SP Nanite Cost: 300 Nanites

A scope allows you to AIM on a five second count to make any shot ‘Targeted’ and non-evadable. This can be combined with a trick shot, but not with ambidexterity. You must call “Aiming 1, Aiming 2, Aiming 3, Aiming 4, and Aiming 5.” while aiming at your target. Then you may call ‘Target’, and fire your shot or trick shot. You must maintain line of sight to your target during the entire aiming process. If line of sight is broken, you must start the aiming count again from 1.

SP Cost: 10 SP Nanite Cost: 400 Nanites

III: Reinforced Frame

SP Cost: 20 SP Nanite Cost: 200 Nanites

Either replace your normal gun phys-rep with a small, blackjack sized boffer weapon (no larger than 12"), or see a GM (Devon) or Weapons Marshall about fitting your gun phys rep with a safety approved boffer ‘butt’. Pistol whipping with an automatic with a reinforced frame does 4 Stun damage. You can also Clout with an Automatic if you posess that skill.

III: Bayonet

SP Cost: 20 Nanite Cost: 300

A bayonet allows you to use your shotgun as a melee weapon in a pinch. Replace your normal gun phys-rep with a single-hand sword sized boffer weapon (no larger than 48").

Replace your normal gun phys-rep with a small, shortsword boffer weapon (no larger than 36"), o Pistol whipping with an SMG with a reinforced frame does 6 Stun damage. You can also Clout with an SMG if you posess that skill.

 

Assault Rifles

I: Underbarrel Grenade Launcher

SP Cost: 25 Nanite Cost: 1,000

An underbarrel grenade launcher allows you to fire off the rest of the ammunition in your load as a single, grenadelike projectile, completely unloading your weapon. You must have at least 10 shots left to use this attack. This massive projectile does 25 Splash damage.

II: Gas Vents

SP Cost: 20 Nanite Cost: 400

Gas Vents allow faster and more effective cooling of an overheated barrel after strafing. Rather than having to call ‘Cooling 1, Cooling 2, Cooling 3' after Strafing before firing another shot, you now only have to call ‘Cooling Down’ before firing again.

III: Gyro Stabilized Harness

SP Cost: 30 Nanite Cost: 600

This powered harness allows you to run when equipped with a Smartgun. Normally you can only walk due to the gun’s considerable weight.
