EQUIPMENT

Most Earth-tec requires a human thumb-print in order to function. Without this verification, most items simply will not activate. Only pure-bred humans can do this (boccord and muadra have changed too far away from humans for their fingerprints to work). Even so, it is not an Advantage as such - firstly, because Earth-tec is so rare (and restricted to persons of high status) and secondly, because there are ways of modifying the print-scanner so that it will work anyway.

Metal is scarce on Jorune, so many weapons are made from other inferior materials or metals. Wood, bone, obsidian or stone is often used as substitutes. On the other hand, using Earth-tec alloys and sophisticated armouring knowledge, weapons of high quality and strength can be forged. See p. B74 for further notes on weapon quality. Example: Edwain wants to buy a new sword. A good sword costs 300 gemules in Ardoth. He could buy a cheap sword, costing only 120 gemules or he could find a thivin armourer and buy a fine sword for 1200 gemules.

• Most weapons on Jorune are cheap
  
• Thivin swords are fine
  
• Weapons made by armourers with access to Earth-tec materials or knowledge are fine or very fine
  
• Shantic blades range from a +1 to a +4 damage bonus and are hideously expensive and very, very rare. None of them will break on a parry
  

Armour

• Carapace. PD 3, DR 4, weight and price N/A
  
• Crudge. PD 1, DR 2 (croid have DR 3), weight and price N/A
  
• Crystal armour. PD 1 (PD 6 vs. dyshas), DR 2, 30 lbs, 200,000 gemules
  
• DA (Deflector Armour). PD 4, DR 15, 20 lbs, 20,000 gemules
  
• E-rep (Energy Repulsor Armour). Offers only minimal protection against blasters (PD 3, DR 0) and is useless versus normal swings and projectiles. Requires a large power cell for operation that lasts for 25 attacks. PD 6, DR 2, 4 lbs, 50,000 gemules
  
• Leather armour. PD 2, DR 2, 20 lbs, 100 gemules
  
• Locurian Grunder. There is a good chance (8 or less on 3D6) that a wearer of this armour is unaffected by a particular orb or bolt. PD 3, DR 5, 70 lbs, 15,000 gemules
  
• Mail armour. PD 3, DR 4 (PD 1 and DR 2 vs. impaling weapons and dyshas), 45 lbs, 1000 gemules
  
• MAS (Mobile Active Suit). Increase ST and Speed by 5 while the suit is worn. Dexterity is decreased by 2. The suit requires two power cells. The suit can be active for 10 hours before recharging is needed. PD 6, DR 20, 50 lbs, 250,000 gemules
  
• Thailiarian armour. PD 4, DR 8, 80 lbs, 35,000 gemules
