PL 7: Gravity Age
Gravmace	Melee-powered	0	LI/O	d8+2s/d6+2w/d8+2w	3	3	-	Con	850
› The gravmace consists of a meter-long handle with a gravitonic capacitor inside a striking head. Powerful capacitors manipulate the weapon's mass, making it strike like a sledgehammer while being swung like a willow switch.
Power cestus	Unarmed-brawl	0	LI/O	d4+2s/d4w/d4+1w	4	3	+1	Con	500
› The power cestus consists of an elbow-length gauntlet of CF (carbonate fiber) weave, ending in a heavy fighting glove that covers the user's hand. Gravity technology allows the wielder to strike blows of astonishing power with a gloved hand.

Star sword	Melee-powered	0	En/G	d6+1w/2d6w/d4+3m	3	2	+2	Res	7000
› The star sword generates a complex, phased magnetic field in the rough shape of a sword blade, and then fills the interior of this field with white-hot plasma. On contact, the containment field releases a stream of plasma that can burn or cut through almost anything.
Tri-staff	Melee-powered	-1	En/O	d8+2w/3d4+1w/d6m	3	3	-	Res	4000
› This 2-meter-long staff is topped by a three-pronged blade. When the staff is activated, an internal power source suffuses it with a soft glow. This aura acts as a defensive force field that improves the Strength and Dexterity resistance modifiers of its wielder by 1 step.

› This is a simple bow made from a single piece of wood. Because archery and bowhunting exist as sports, short bows made of high-tech materials may be readily available at higher Progress Levels.
Sling	Prim-sling	+1	F	10/20/60	LI/O	d4s/d4+2s/d4w	2	10	0.1	-	Any	25
› This weapon is a simple looped strap in which a stone is whirled and then let fly. Small stones originally serve as ammunition, but the sling at PL 2 and higher uses metal bullets, whose aerodynamic shape increases the sling's range by 10 meters in each category.
PL 1: Bronze/Iron Age
Javelin	Athl-throw	0	F	Per STR	LI/O	d4w/d4+1w/d4+2w	1	1	1	-	Com	50

Crossbow	Prim-bow	0	F	50/100/250	LI/O	d4+2w/d6+2w/d4+1m	1	1	2	-	Con	400
› Consisting of a bow mounted crosswise on a wooden or metal stock, the crossbow is fired much like a gun. Although slower and clumsier than a long bow, it outranges the bow and has superior striking power.
Shuriken	Athl-throw	+2	F	Per STR	LI/O	d4s/d4w/d4+1w	4	1	0.1	+4	Com	10
› Though these "throwing stars" are not extremely lethal, the metal, sharp-pointed disks are easy to conceal.

Musket, flintlock	Prim-flint	+2	F	20/40/100	HI/O	d6+1w/d6+3w/d6+1m	1	1	4	-	Com	350
› The musket was the most successful of the black powder weapons. By later standards it is inaccurate and unreliable, but its 50 to 60 caliber bullet deserves respect.
Pistol, flintlock	Prim-flint	+2	F	4/8/16	HI/O	d4+2w/d6+2w/d4+1m	2	1	2	+2	Com	200
› The flintlock pistol employs the same mechanism and muzzle-loading powder and shot as the flintlock musket.

› The smallest pistols ever made, these weapons appeared with flintlock actions early in the 19th century but didn't become popular until the 1870s.
Pistol, .32 rev.	Mod-pistol	+1	F	4/8/30	HI/O	d4w/d6w/d4m	3	6	1	+3	Com	200
› Light revolvers and small handguns are in common use for centuries after their invention. The small size of the .32 caliber makes it ideal for concealment in a hidden holster or pocket.
Pistol, .45 rev.	Mod-pistol	+1	F	4/10/40	HI/O	d4+1w/d4+2w/d6m	3	6	1	+2	Com	250
› A heavier pistol, it's not quite as easy to conceal as the .32, but delivers greater damage and has longer range.
Rifle, .30 bolt	Mod-rifle	0	F	50/100/300	HI/O	d4+2w/d6+2w/d4+1m	1	10	3	-	Mil	500
› A common infantry weapon, the bolt-action rifle is accurate, but tends to be slow-firing and heavy.
Rifle, .44 lever	Mod-rifle	+1	F	40/80/240	HI/O	d6w/d8+1w/d6m	2	12	3	-	Com	400
› Introduced early in the Industrial Age, repeating rifles such as this weapon were common in the Old West, mainly among hunters and frontiersmen.
Shotgun, 12 gauge	Mod-rifle	0	F	6/12/30	HI/O	d4w/d6w/d4m	2	5	4	+7	Com	500
› Shotguns come in several different forms, including pump-action, bolt-action, single-shot, and double-barrel. The 12 gauge is a fairly typical pump-action shotgun. Damage from a shotgun is highly dependent on range. At short range, damage is doubled. At long range, all damage results are halved (round down, to a minimum of 1 point).
SMG, .45 cal	Mod-SMG	+2	B/A	8/16/40	HI/O	d4+1w/d4+2w/d6m	4	-/8	4	-	Con	600
› Popularly known as the "tommy gun," this weapon came into use near the end of the Industrial Age. It was the first of the personal automatic weapons, with the ability to damage more than one target in a single attack. That property made it a highly desirable firearm despite its relatively poor accuracy.

› While there are grenade launchers that mount on rifles, this item is a separate weapon specifically designed to fire small, explosive shells. The standard launcher can accommodate a variety of loads. The two basic types of launchers are the 40mm hand mortar and the 6x40mm six-shot launcher. The hand mortar resembles a simple breech-loading, single-barreled shotgun. The six-shot looks like an oversized revolver mounted on a shotgun stock. Unlike the hand mortar, the six-shot can hold six grenades at once (but can only fire them one at a time). It also costs four times the listed price. In other ways, it's identical to the hand mortar.
Grenade, concus.	Athl-throw	+1	F	Per STR	LI/O	d6+2s/d4w/d4+1w	2	1	0.5	+3	Mil	75
› The concussion grenade is basically a half-kilogram block of TNT in a cardboard wrapper. It has a pin and arm mechanism, but no fragmentation material. The concussion grenade is considered an offensive weapon, since it can be thrown by troops in open terrain without fear of causing themselves shrapnel damage. All targets within 2 meters of a concussion grenade's explosion suffer Amazing damage (d4+1w); targets from 2 to 4 meters away suffer Good damage (d4w); targets from 4 to 6 meters away suffer Ordinary damage (d6+2s); and targets beyond 6 meters aren't damaged by the blast.

All targets within 2 meters of an incendiary grenade's explosion suffer Amazing damage (d4+3w); those from 2 to 4 meters away receive Good damage (d4+2w); and those from 4 to 6 meters away receive Ordinary damage (d4w). Fireproof or heat-shielded objects suffer half or no damage depending on the level of their protection. Flammable objects ignite and continue to burn for d6+1 rounds, suffering d4-1 points of wound damage each round or until the fire is extinguished.
Grenade, smoke	Athl-throw	+1	F	Per STR	Special	Special	2	1	0.5	+3	Con	50
› This grenade releases a thick cloud of smoke that fills an area in a 6-meter radius around the explosion site. The smoke lasts for d8+4 rounds. It provides Good cover (+2 penalty to opponents' attempts to attack) and applies a +2 penalty to Awareness checks for all characters within the area of effect. Some smoke grenades are filled with tear gas. Tear gas works just like smoke with the added benefit of partially incapacitating unprotected characters. Each individual in the area of effect makes a Constitution feat check to try to counter the effect of the gas: Critical Failure, helpless for 2d4 rounds; Failure, +3 penalty to all action checks and actions for 2d4 rounds; Ordinary, +2 penalty; Good, +1 penalty; Amazing, gas has no effect. Characters wearing e-suits or using respirator masks or oxygen tanks are unaffected by tear gas.

Grenade, pulse	Athl-throw	+1	F	Per STR	En/G	d4+2s/d6+2s/d8+2s	2	1	0.5	+3	Res	350
› This grenade consists of a powerful capacitor and a special ceramic shell that functions as a spherical antenna array. When it detonates, the capacitor releases a pulse of electromagnetic energy in the immediate area. This pulse can stun unprotected humans, but it's more useful for damaging electronic equipment—computers, sensors, vehicle control systems, servomotors, and the like. The discharge causes Amazing damage (d8+2s) within 2 meters; Good damage (d6+2s) out to 4 meters; and Ordinary damage (d4+2s) out to 10 meters.
Grenade, tracer	Athl-throw	+1	F	Per STR	HI/G	d4+2w/d6+2w/d4+2m	2	1	0.5	+3	Mil	350
› This is a smart shaped-charge grenade. Though it can be manually tossed or hurled by a launcher, once it reaches its target area it searches for a moving target to make contact with. Upon impact, the grenade explodes and releases its razor-sharp fragments. Amazing damage (d4+2m) is suffered by the target it impacts with (if any); Good damage (d6+2w) extends out to 2 meters; and Ordinary damage (d4+2w) extends to 4 meters. If no target is within 2 meters of its landing point, the grenade falls to the ground and waits up to 2 rounds for a target to approach within its detection range of 2 meters. If those 2 rounds go by without it being approached by a target the tracer grenade automatically deactivates. In such a case, it can be salvaged and reused.

A character using a shield may apply the shield's protection to any one attack in a phase. A medium shield is heavier than a small shield, and is usually a meter or more in diameter. It can be round or square, though most looked like rounded triangles.
PL 3
Leather coat	5	0	d6-3/d4-3/d4-2	O	+3	Any	500
› The cuir bouilli ("boiled leather") coat isn't the best armor, but it's better than nothing in battle. Leather coats have an advantage in being innately concealable; in many societies, the rugged coat is an item of style.
Shield, large	10	+3	+3/+2/0	-	-	Any	500
› In an era of blades and arrows, shields are a common and effective means of defense. A shield is held in the secondary hand or worn on the forearm. A character using a shield may apply the shield's protection to any one attack in a phase. A large shield is rectangular, usually about 1 meter wide and 1.5 meters tall.
PL 6
CF short coat	3	0	d4-1/d4-1/d6-3	O	+3	Com	750
› Designed to resemble a well-made duster or jacket, the CF coat uses extensive weaves of resistant carbonate fibers to defeat slashing weapons and projectiles. The short coat comes down to the waist and can be worn as part of a suit, or as a simple jacket.
PL 7
CF softsuit	3	0	d6/d6/d6-1	O	+4	Con	2000
› The CF softsuit represents the highest level of carbonate fiber advancement. It can be woven into lightweight clothing styles, providing protection that doesn't look like protection at all.
Deflection harness	2	0	Special	G	+3	Mil	2500
› The deflection harness creates a powerful nondirectional graviton field around the wearer. Physical objects are deflected away from the protected character, and even energy-based attacks may be bent enough to miss the user. The deflection harness improves the user's applicable resistance modifier (either Strength or Dexterity) by +2 steps. A character using a deflection harness suffers from a +2 penalty when he tries to attack someone outside the field due to the same deflection effect. The harness consumes a lot of power, and a charge pack lasts for only 10 rounds of use.
PL 8
Ablative harness	2	0	Special	G	+3	Res	5000
› The discovery of controlled mass-energy transformation leads to the invention of effective force fields. The ablative harness makes use of a field of quantum particles that respond to force or energy by spontaneously transforming into semitangible virtual matter. The ablative harness provides 50 points of protective energy when fully charged. Every point of mortal damage reduces the field by 3 points; every point of wound damage reduces the field by 2 points; and every point of stun damage reduces the field by 1 point. When the harness's energy is reduced to 0 points, the protective field collapses.
Displacer softsuit	3	0	Special	O	+3	Res	7500
› This is a CF softsuit with gravitonic circuitry that makes the image of the user appear to blur and shift. This provides protection from weapons that require a direct target, but doesn't provide any protection against weapons with a blast radius. By phasing the wearer and projecting his image about a meter away from where he really is, the displacer softsuit provides a +3 step increase to the wearer's Strength and Dexterity resistance modifiers. After 10 rounds, the displacer softsuit's charge cell must be replaced.
Energy web	2	0	d6-1/d6-1/d6+2	O	+2	Res	4000
› The energy web is a CF softsuit with an interwoven energy dispersement web. While largely ineffective against physical attacks, it provides excellent protection from energy weapons by dispersing the energy and directing it harmlessly away. The energy web doesn't require a power source, because it works like a lightning rod to ground and disperse the energy.
Stealth softsuit	2	0	Special	O	+3	Res	10000
› The combination of a CF softsuit with energy technology, the stealth softsuit renders its wearer almost invisible. The stealth softsuit can't be used with other armor, since the suit must be near the body and exposed to operate. The primary benefit is to the user's Stealth skill: a +3 penalty to all observers attempting to spot the user. If an observer notices the wearer, the wearer still receives a +1 resistance modifier increase on attacks directed against him or her.

Chain mail	15	+1	d6-1/d6-4/d6-4	O	-3	Com	750
› Various types of laminated, scale, brigandine, splint, and banded armor fall under the broad category of chain mail. Formed by linking or sewing metal rings to a plain leather backing, chain mail provides excellent protection against slashing (low impact) attacks. The chain mail suit includes a coif to protect the head.
Plate, full	25	+3	d6+1/d6-3/d6-3	O	-8	Mil	2000
› Full plate mail is made from shaped and fitted metal plates riveted and interlocked in such a way as to cover the entire body. Gauntlets, boots, and a visored helmet are included, as well as a layer of thick padding under the armor.
Plate, partial	20	+2	d6/d8-5/d6-4	O	-5	Con	1000
› This armor combines a metal breastplate with either chain or brigandine armor. A few metal plates protect vital parts of the body, but not as many are used as in full plate armor.
PL 4
Flak jacket	15	+2	d6-2/d4-1/d6-3	G	-2	Con	800
› While unable to fully absorb the blows of the weapons of the period, the flak jacket is the first armor to seriously inhibit the passage of high impact damage to its wearer. The armor's bulk and mass are its disadvantages.
PL 5
Assault gear	10	+3	d6-1/d6-1/d6-1	G	-4	Mil	1500
› This is a suit of modern armor, made up of heavy padding, kevlar, and plastic plates. In later ages, kevlar is replaced by carbonate fiber.
Battle vest	5	0	d6-2/d4-2/d6-3	G	+2	Con	600
› This category includes all the varieties of bulletproof vests that come into use during the latter half of the 20th century. Light versions are designed with concealability and comfort in mind. The vest uses strong ceramic-alloy plates sandwiched in a weave of kevlar or (at a higher PL) carbonate fiber to protect the wearer's torso.
Riot helmet	2	+1	+1/+1/0	-	-	Con	300
› The riot helmet has a clear plastic visor, offering protection while preserving vision.
Riot shield	4	+2	+1/+1/+1	-	-	Con	500
› This is a high-tech, clear plastic, full-body shield, usually used in conjunction with riot gear.
PL 6
Assault gear, hvy	12	+2	d6-1/d6/d6-1	G	-4	Mil	2500
› This armor resembles PL 5 assault gear in general appearance, but bulletproof CF weave and polymere plates replace much of the padding. It includes a protective hood and attachments for an optional hip-worn respirator.
Attack armor	15	+3	d4+1/d6+1/d6-1	G	-4	Mil	3000
› The earliest forms of true attack armor are improvements of typical assault gear. A breastplate and helmet of lightweight polymere guards the user's vital areas, while flexible CF weaves cover his limbs.
Battle jacket	8	+1	d6-1/d4+1/d4-1	G	+1	Con	1500
› A more complete version of the battle vest, this garment includes panels for the thighs and arms, as well as an open-faced hood.
CF long coat	4	0	d4/d4/d6-2	O	0	Com	1000
› Designed to resemble a well-made duster or jacket, the CF coat uses extensive weaves of resistant carbonate fibers to defeat slashing weapons and projectiles. The long coat almost touches the ground, and it can pass for a duster or overcoat of some kind.
PL 7
Cerametal armor	10	+2	d6+1/d8+1/d6	G	-4	Mil	2000
› This is one of the last developments of heavy, unpowered armor. Cerametal technology combines lightweight ceramic weaves with more standard armor materials. The cerametal plates cover most of the body, including the head.

PL 7
Body tank	60	+4	2d4+1/2d4+1/2d4	G	Res	25000
› The invention of sturdy, small, and powerful servos makes the powered "body tank" armor possible. A body tank is a heavy, full suit of armor that turns the soldier wearing it into a mobile fortress. Systems include: Targeting system, Image enhancement system, Communication suite, Trauma pack type II, Threat receiver, Smart display, Laser designator, and Bantam launcher.
Body tank, recon	45	+3	2d4/2d4/d6+2	G	Mil	30000
› The recon body tank is lighter and more expensive than the regular version, but somewhat more common. It features the same onboard systems as the standard body tank.
Body tank, zero-g	80	+5	3d4/3d4/2d4+1	G	Res	50000
› Equipped with all the features of the standard body tank in a suit slightly larger than the normal body tank. It also includes air/space radar and heavy weapon mounts.
PL 8
Body tank, over.	40	+3	2d6+1/2d6+1/2d6	G	Res	70000
› This device represents the highest achievement in heavy powered armor. The overland body tank has all the features of a zero-g body tank with higher protection values, but retains a light look. It adds a flight-capable gravity-based engine, allowing its user to soar at up to 100 kilometers per hour.

In general, using a computer requires the Knowledge-computer operation specialty skill. An untrained character can perform basic tasks (like word processing or playing a game) without knowing computer operation per se. Anything more complicated requires the use of the specialty.

Computer operation represents a user’s ability to get the most out of a computer’s normal operating parameters. It allows a character to effectively use and operate a computer. The Computer Science broad skill and its specialty skills provide more extensive aptitude to characters willing to put in additional time and training.
