With the GM’s permission, a character can

Weapons: Melee mundane object on hand, as long as the object
has a PDC of 10 or lower. (The GM determines
Weapons: Ranged the PDC for an object that’s not mentioned in
Weapon Accessories this chapter, using similarly priced objects as a
guide.) The Wealth check works the same as
Kits (collected) for buying the object, except that the character
Index takes a –10 penalty on the check, and he or
jacemachine@gmail.com she can’t take 10 or take 20. Also, a character
can’t make a Wealth check to see if he or she
has a mundane object on hand during
character generation or between adventures—
only during play. If the character succeeds, his
or her Wealth bonus is unaffected, even if the
object’s PDC is higher than his or her Wealth
bonus.
Depending on the situation, the GM can rule
that a certain mundane object is not available;
for an object to be obtainable, the character
must be in a place where the object logically
would be.
RESTRICTED OBJECTS
Some objects require licenses to own or
operate, or are restricted in use to qualifying
organizations or individuals. In such cases, a
character must purchase a license or pay a fee
to legally own the object. A license or fee is a
separate item, purchased in addition to (and
usually before) the object to which it applies.
The four levels of restriction are as follows.

2
 Licensed: The owner must obtain a license
to own or operate the object legally. Generally,
the license is not expensive, and obtaining it
has few if any additional legal requirements.
Restricted: Only specially qualified
individuals or organizations are technically
allowed to own the object. However, the real
obstacles to ownership are time and money;
anyone with sufficient patience and cash can
eventually acquire the necessary license.
Military: The object is sold primarily to
legitimate police and military organizations. A
military rating is essentially the same as
restricted (see above), except that
manufacturers and dealers are generally under
tight government scrutiny and are therefore
especially wary of selling to private individuals.
Illegal: The object is illegal in all but
specific, highly regulated circumstances.

1 Add to the object’s PDC if the character tries to
buy it on the black market without first obtaining a
license; see The Black Market.
Purchasing a License
To purchase a license or pay necessary
fees, make a Wealth check against the PDC
given in Table: Restricted Objects. With a
success, the license is issued to the character
after the number of days indicated. To speed
the process, the hero can make a Knowledge
(business) check against a DC equal to the
license PDC. Success results in the license
being issued in 1d6 hours. (During the process
of character creation, a character just needs to
purchase the license or pay the fee; the time
required takes place before game play begins.)
As a general rule, a character must obtain
the appropriate license before buying a
restricted object. Legitimate dealers will not
sell restricted objects to a character who does
not have the necessary license. However, a
character may be able to turn to the black
market (see below) to obtain restricted objects
without a license.
The Black Market
Sometimes a character wants to obtain an
object without going through the hassle of
getting a license first. Almost anything is
available on the black market. Knowledge
(streetwise) checks can be used to locate a
black market merchant. The DC is based on the
location in question: 15 to find a black market
merchant in a big city, or 20, 25, or higher in
small towns and rural areas.
Objects purchased on the black market are
more expensive than those purchased legally.
Add the black market PDC modifier from Table:
Restricted Objects to the object’s PDC.
Obtaining an object on the black market
takes a number of days according to the Time
Required column on Table: Restricted Objects.
Time The process can be hurried, but each day cut

REQUISITIONING EQUIPMENT
2 days
3 days When a hero working for Department-7
4 days needs more equipment than he or she has on
hand, the hero may try to requisition it.
Department-7 evaluates whether the character
really needs the object, how soon the agency
can supply it, and whether the agency can
reasonably expect to get it back when the hero
is done with it.
The result is determined by a level check
(1d20 + character level) against a DC equal to
the equipment’s PDC. Add the character’s
Charisma bonus to the check. Table:
Requisition Modifiers lists modifiers that may
affect the check.
The result of the check determines whether
and how quickly Department-7 can provide the
hero with the requested equipment. With a
success, the object is issued to the hero.
Generally, it takes 24 hours to obtain an object
through requisition, but if the object is
especially common, or if the hero beats the
check DC by 5 or more, it is available in 1d4
hours.

Services
The broad spectrum of services available to
characters is only represented in overview
here. Services are identified on Table: Services.
Auto Repair
Having a car repaired can be expensive; how
expensive depends on the amount of damage
the vehicle has suffered. The PDCs for damage
repair assume the vehicle has not actually
been disabled; if it has, increase the PDC by
+3. Repair generally takes 1 day for every 10
hit points of damage dealt, and results in the
vehicle being returned to full hit points.
Auto Repair
Bail Bonds
Characters jailed for crimes can seek bail. Bail
is a monetary guarantee that the suspect will
show up for his trial. The bail amount is set by
a judge or magistrate, sometimes immediately
following arrest (for minor crimes) and
sometimes days later (for serious crimes). If
bail is granted, a character can arrange for a
bail bond—a loan that covers bail. The PDCs
represent the fees associated with the loan;
the bond itself is paid back to the bond agency
when the hero shows up for trial. If the hero
fails to show up, the agency loses the bail loan,
and may send bounty hunters or other thugs
after the character.
Bail amounts vary dramatically, depending on
the seriousness of the crime, the suspect’s
criminal history, his or her role in society, his or
her family life, and other factors the judge
believes indicate that the character will or will
not flee (or commit other crimes) before the
trial. An upstanding citizen with a good job and
a family who has never before been charged
with a crime gets minimal bail; a career
criminal with nothing to lose gets maximum
bail or may not be granted bail at all. The PDCs
shown assume the suspect is viewed positively
by the court. If not, increase the PDC by as
much as 5. Whatever the base PDC, a
successful Diplomacy check (DC 15) by the
suspect reduces the PDC by 2.

Scuba Diving Gear
Scuba gear allows a swimmer to remain

the diver to breathe, fins to aid in swimming,
and a mask for visibility. When using scuba
gear, a diver can remain underwater for up to
an hour if she does not exceed a depth of 30
feet, 30 minutes if she doesn’t exceed a depth
of 60 feet, and 15 minutes if she doesn’t
exceed a depth of 90 feet. It takes five minutes
to don or remove scuba gear. Scuba gear

double move). If the character attempts any
fancy maneuvers, he must make a Balance

how difficult the GM determines the maneuver
to be. A failed check means that he falls, taking
damage as if he fell 10 feet vertically for every

Skis and Snowboards
For game purposes, skis and snowboards
operate the same way. When moving downhill
on snow or icy terrain, the character’s speed
increases by an additional 30 feet per move
action (20 feet when using cross-country skis
on more-or-less level terrain). A person can
only move at half speed while using skis up a
slope. Any time the character performs some
sort of fancy maneuver, he must make a
Balance check (DC 15). The DC can increase
based on how difficult a maneuver he is
attempting. A failed check means that he falls,

Night Vision Goggles
Night vision goggles use passive light
gathering to improve vision in near-dark
conditions. They grant the user the ability to
see in darkness, also called darkvision (range
120 ft.)—but because of the restricted field of
view and lack of depth perception these
goggles provide, they impose a –4 penalty on
all Spot and Search checks made by someone
wearing them.
Night vision goggles must have at least a little
light to operate. A cloudy night provides
sufficient ambient light, but a pitch-black cave
or a sealed room doesn’t. For situations of total
darkness, the goggles come with an infrared
illuminator that, when switched on, operates
like a standard flashlight whose light is visible

Sticky Foam Sprayer
This bulky and unusual weapon looks similar to
a flamethrower, with a fuel tank and sprayer
nozzle. However, instead of jellied flaming fuel,
the sticky foam sprayer launches a stream of
liquid goop that hinders movement and can
create impromptu barriers.
The sticky foam sprayer has a range of 15 feet
and fills a 5-foot square per round. A creature
hit by the sticky foam suffers a –2 penalty to
attack rolls and a –4 penalty to effective
Dexterity. The entangled character must make
a Reflex save (DC 15) or be glued to the floor,
unable to move. A creature simply moving into
a square with the foam also must make this
save, but does not suffer the penalty to attack
rolls or Dexterity. Even with a successful save,
it can only move at half speed. Creatures that
are Huge or larger are unaffected by sticky
foam.
A character who is glued to the floor can break
free with a successful Strength check (DC 20)
or by dealing 15 points of damage to the sticky
foam with a slashing weapon. A character
trying to scrape sticky foam off himself, or
another character assisting, does not need to
make an attack roll; hitting the sticky foam is
automatic, after which the character who hit
rolls damage to see how much of the goo he
scraped off.
A character capable of spellcasting who is
bound by the sticky foam must make a
Concentration check (DC 15) to cast a spell.
The sticky foam becomes brittle and breaks
apart easily after 10 minutes.
A variety of problems have been found with
Sticky Foam:
• It can be lethal if sprayed toward the
face, causing immediate suffocation.
However the foam could be useful for
denying access to certain rooms or
corridors, as in the case of a drug raid or
a prison riot.
Currently there is no "antidote", while the foam

the stream can make a Reflex save (DC 15) to

Regular water deals no damage, but special
substances (such as holy water) can be used
for different effects. If you make a full-round
attack against a target, it deals the same
amount of damage as a vial of the substance—
an attack action does not produce enough of a
stream to deal damage.
The super watergun has a handle that must be
pumped to shoot, thus requiring both hands to
use effectively. A super watergun cannot hold
