Gear


You begin with N$2500 to purchase your starting gear. Note that you may have access to additional equipment, vehicles, or resources from jobs or if you trade favors with influential persons.

Computers


Computer - N$50-200 depending on how feature laden it is. Cheaper models have flatscreens that are simple sheets of plastic which can be attached to the wall, desk surface, or stand freely at a comfortable viewing angle. Expensive ones have holographic displays. Most support voice, keyboard, trackball, and VR glove interfaces. For hacking purposes, counts as a Green 4 system, but Neural Jacks are available only on the higher end models (N$100 or more).
G-Logic Basic - N$50, 2 lbs. Available with plastic slipcovers in many eye-catching designs, these computers are the size of a paperback book. They get the job done but come with so much 'easy to use' software and "idiot-proofing" in the OS that hackers will be at -1 to Hack when using a G-Logic, on top of -2 if they're forced to use the keyboard instead of a Wireless interface, since they lack neural jacks. *
Crystal Ball MK IV - N$100, 5 lbs. The actual computer is built into the solid metal base of the holo display unit, which emits an 18" diameter display sphere. Very durable and capable, and supports a VR glove interface. No hacking penalty. Neural jack available.
Dantech Prism 2070 - N$200, 200 lbs. This looks like a solid slab of marble about the size of a thick hardbound dictionary with a black inset holoprojector. The base vacuum-locks to a flat surface unless overridden by a security code. Supports a 24" holographic display with VR glove interface and neural jack interface. Includes Armor ICE: +1 Armor vs Hacks, but -1 to Hacking attempts.

* NOTE: G-Logic computers are very easy to use for unskilled users. When doing a query on one, a user without the 'Computers' skill rolls d4-1 instead of d4-2. This only applies for Computers, not for Hacking, and someone with d4 Computers will still be at d4-1 when using a G-Logic computer.

Cyberdeck - used by hackers to infiltrate target computers. They are meant to be operated by neural jacks, but most systems also provide a holographic display, keyboard and VR glove interface as a backup. Cyberdecks provide a wide array of tools which are usually dedicated toward protecting the hacker from being traced back and repelling enemy intrusion attempts, but in a pinch, can be committed to a full-out invasive probe of the target system. See Av2Hacking for more details.

Green systems cannot roll a d6 Wild Die or have "exploding" rolls and are used by most commercial enterprises.
Pyramidtech Wisdom-1 - N$100, 5 lbs. A Green 4 cyberdeck, looks like the lower half of a 18-inches wide pyramid, enclosing a holographic projector. An entry-level system, but it does offer the standard neural jack, "pop-up" holographic keyboard, and VR glove interface.
Amaranth Manta - N$300, 2 lbs. A Green 6 cyberdeck, but built of a unique ultra-lightweight mesh technology that allows it to be worn on the inside of clothes or jackets, or otherwise folded up without compromising its operation. Primarily accessed by neural jack, but it can be spread out as a touch-sensitive screen as well.
Dantech Hyperprism 2170 - N$400, 10 lbs. A Green 6 cyberdeck with Armor ICE built in the form of solid block of marble with a black inset holoprojector, vacuum-locks to a flat surface. This kind of computer is used for secure computing, not for hacking other computers; extra firewalls and encryption prevent others from being able to hack it easily but also slow down the user's access to external systems. (3 tokens, 1 Armor vs hacks, -1 to Hack rolls)
Crystal Ball MK VIII - N$1600, 15 lbs. Similar to the MK IV in design but a 1' tall column of silvery metal instead of a flat base, with a 24" diameter display sphere on top. While still a Green 10 computer, it has only 4 tokens of security protection - instead it has an array of parallel processors that greatly speeds up cracking encryption which gives +1 to Hack rolls.

Red systems can do both and are usually found only in military and high-end government and corporate installations. Usually costs five times what the normal computer would.
G-Logic Pro - N$400, 5 lbs. The size of a large dictionary, this computer can be equipped with a number of designer slipcovers. While it does support a neural jack interface and is rated as a Red 4 system, it retains the "easy to use" interface and idiot-proofing that gives -1 to Hack rolls.
Pyramidtech Wisdom-2 - N$500, 8 lbs. A Red 4 cyberdeck, this looks like a full 24" wide pyramid with four holographic projector emitters on the edges. Like the Wisdom-1, it offers a neural jack, "pop-up" holographic keyboard, and VR glove interface, but it has a more powerful CPU and a full suite of security and intrusion software.
Amaranth Ultra - N$1500, 5 lbs. A Red 6 cyberdeck, it employs the same intelligent mesh technology as the Manta, but takes up significantly more room - you'd need the full lining of a jacket or if it were compactly folded, it would take the same space as a 20th century laptop. Access is via neural jack, but the surface can become a touch-sensitive screen.
Crystal Ball MK X - N$2000, 18 lbs. A 1' tall column of silvery metal like the Crystal Ball MK VIII, but ringed by an additional 3" diameter of black metal around the base. A Red 6 cyberdeck, it includes a Quantum Probe, giving it 2 tokens of security but +1 to Hacking rolls. The choice of security experts around the world!
Pyramidtech Sphinx - N$2100, 16 lbs. A standard Red 8 cyberdeck installed into an animatronic body in the form of the famous Sphinx, done as a solid brass casing. Great in your library or on your desk as part of an Egyptian decor. Can be programmed for home security, but has the same stats as a Robot Pet. Eyes are holographic projectors.
Dantech Quasiprism 2270 - N$4000, 20 lbs. This top of the line computer comes as the surface of a solid oak desk and makes a magnificent set piece for an executive office. Used by most institutions for storing their critical data. It counts as a Red 8 system with Armor ICE, giving it 4 tokens of protection, +1 Armor vs Hacks, but -1 to Hacking if it were to be used as a cyberdeck.
Dantech Q-Core I - military. Even the smallest Dantech quantum core is easily out of reach of most hackers. It's a solid block of black metal the size of a refrigerator, with immense power requirements. For security purposes it counts as a Red 8 system with 4 tokens of health, 1 Armor vs Hacks, and +1 to Hacking due to its ability to crack encryption with ridiculous ease.

Holotank - N$100. A large surface for projecting holographic displays, about the size of a coffee table. It does not require VR gloves for user input; it automatically recognizes hands being moved through the display area. Often used by task force leaders to share maps with their forces and plan missions, also seen in middle-class homes as a way in which sports and wargames can be enjoyed in company without everyone needing to be hooked in.
G-Logic Reality - N$80, 5 lbs. This wall-mounted display can make you believe you're there! Unlike the standard holotank, VR gloves are required to interact with the display. More for people who like to watch VR shows than for anyone doing serious work.
G-Logic Reality Plus - N$100, 8 lbs. Fits on most tables, provides a full interface without the need for a VR glove. Display table sold separately.
Eagle Security Holotank - N$150, 20 lbs. This holotank unfolds from an easily carried 1.5' white block of plastic (emblazoned with the Eagle Security logo) into a 6x6' surface with inner locking metal rods for reinforcement, with a high resolution display and true color correction under all light conditions. Supports VR-gloveless interface.
Crystal World View - N$500. This room-based installation takes holographic displays to the next level by hiding projectors in each corner of the room and using liquid crystal wallpaper for a background. VR gloves, leg wraps, and headband are provided for optimum recognition of users and to provide basic tactile feedback when interacting with "virtual objects", but the system's scanners will do a good job on their own. You'll believe you're really in another world!

Wrist ComputerPDA - N$100. A portable computer small enough to fit in a purse or wear like a wristwatch. Touchscreen and voice interface. Counts as a Green 4 system for hacking purposes. Weighs 0.5 lb.
G-Logic Micro - N$80, 0.5 lbs. This PDA is small enough to wear as an earring or a necklace! Available in a range of designer patterns, voice command interface or simple touchscreen. However, due to the "easy to use" interface and idiot-proof software, it counts as -1 to Hack rolls should a Hacker attempt to use it as such.
Crystal Bracer - N$100, 1 lb. A standard wrist-mounted PDA, this includes a small aimed videocamera, terabytes of storage, touchscreen and voice interface, and a neural jack. Police officers often use a customized version of such a PDA for in-the-field recording of incidents.
K-9 Storm Collar - N$125, 1.5 lb. For the pet on the go, this is an adjustable collar-mounted PDA which has a GPS locator, microphone, omnidirectional camera (low resolution), terabytes of storage, voice command capability, and a small holographic projector. Electroplated in your choice of silver, gold, black or blue, it's highly durable and repels stains and mud.
Shock Collar - additional N$50, 0.5lb. When your pet is a touch unruly, the Shock Collar reminds them who's the boss! The remote control interface administers a shock (2d6+1 electrical, nonlethal), and can be configured to do so when your pet gets too close to you or a fence with built-in emitter.

VR Headset - N$100. A neural interface which provides similar functionality to the Neural Jack but is fairly bulky - think motorcycle helmet plus a toaster-sized box with a Neural Jack connector. Designer colors and patterns available. Popular with VR world afficionados but can be used to Hack without the Neural Jack implant. Weighs 2 lbs.
Note: while under the effect of the headset, you will not be able to see or act in the real world. You can toggle in and out of VR and the system will alert you if someone in RL is trying to contact you. Switching between VR and RL incurs a -2 disorientation penalty to actions for that round.

Clothes


Fashionable Clothes - N$100. Fashions have come and gone, leaving people in pretty much the same state as the late 20th century - business suits for the "corp" types, dresses for the pretty ladies, jeans and T-shirts for the casual teens, pseudoleather jackets for the tough guys - but there's also a market for "cosplay" costumes for people who want to look like their favorite characters. Offers no armor benefit, but available in a wide range of colors and patterns.
Embedded Ads - reduces cost by N$50, -1 to Stealth. By voluntarily wearing advertising for various megacorporations, you can show your loyalty to the company brand and attract attention at the same time!
Flexible Armor Weave - N$100. Adds armor 1 to torso, 50% protection to arms and legs. Only the perceptive will notice the giveaway bunching of your clothes, but you'll look just as fashionable while enjoying greater protection!

Bulletproof Vest - N$250, 5 lbs. Armor 2 to torso, 4 Armor vs bullets, -4 AP. Can be worn beneath standard street clothes, but not jumpsuits. Resembles a scale-mail vest made of hexagons. Available in eye-catching designer colors and patterns. Armor does not stack: even if you're wearing both a flexible armor weave outfit and a bulletproof vest, your torso armor is still only 2, or 4 against bullets.

Boots - N$100. These pseudoleather boots are built tough - they count as 1 Armor for legs, 50% protection.
Springheels - N$200. Not only are these pseudoleather boots attractive, but the nanotechnology in the soles will let you run farther and faster! Adds 1" when Jumping (in addition to Str roll), 1" to Running (in addition to 1d6 roll), but has no effect on normal Pace. Counts as 1 Armor for legs, 50% protection.

Gloves - N$100. These pseudoleather gloves are built tough - they count as 1 Armor for arms, 50% protection.
Spidergloves - N$200. Black pseudoleather with tan palms, these gloves have been made with nanotechnology that allows the wearer to cling to any surface. Counts as climbing equipment (+2 to Climbing rolls), plus 1 Armor for arms, 50% protection.

Jumpsuit - N$200. The basic jumpsuit is tough (armor 1 to torso, 50% protection to arms and legs) but flexible, and comes in a variety of designer colors and patterns.
Embedded Ads - reduces cost by N$50, -1 to Stealth. By voluntarily wearing advertising for various megacorporations, you can show your loyalty to the company brand and attract attention at the same time!
Liquid Display - +N$100. Allows you to customize the display to whatever you like.
Stealth Program - +N$100. Enables a camoflauge pattern using light pickups embedded into the fabric. +1 to Stealth rolls.
Full Body Protection - +N$100. Allows you to unroll the sleeves to cover hands and feet for 100% protection, and a hood normally tucked in the back to cover the head.
Tactical Webbing - +N$100. Rig your jumpsuit with a variety of straps and pouches for easy access to all your equipment, allowing you to carry 8 lbs times strength of gear rather than 5 lbs.

Armored Jumpsuit - N$600, 12 lbs. Made out of reflective hexagons of extremely tough material, this jumpsuit doesn't offer customizable display technology but it does have 2 armor over torso, arms and legs, and head with the hood pulled up. (4 armor vs bullets and lasers, -4 to AP) Tactical webbing is included, allowing you to carry 8 lbs times strength of gear rather than 5 lbs.
Springheel Tech - N$100 - gives you increased running and jumping (1" to both).
Spiderglove Tech - N$100 - gives you the ability to climb without equipment (+2 to Climbing rolls).

Sneaksuit - N$800, 6 lbs. A more advanced model than the standard liquid crystal jumpsuit, this version includes hidden pouches for carrying documents and small items. Can emulate standard clothes or jumpsuits. Gives +2 to Stealth, 2 Armor to all locations with hood and sleeves extended. Includes Springheel and Spiderglove Tech (+1" to running and jumping, +2 to Climbing)

VR Goggles - N$50. These are wraparound sunglasses with see-through video screens in each lens. They communicate with your PDA wirelessly so you can put the overlay of your choice on and check mission data as you go without alerting anyone, modify what you see i.e. with targeting data and distance, or even play a VR game while waiting on the Skybus! The interface is drastically inferior to a real headset or neural jack connection, but better than nothing. Weighs 1 lb.
Mirrorshades - N$100. Not only are these usable as VR goggles, but they're built of a tough space-age material that counts as Armor 1 for the head (50% protection). The choice of agents!
Note: to operate your character in a VR game, you will need to equip not only the VR Goggles, but also VR gloves and leg straps (included). Shuffling in place will allow you to "run" in a VR game, due to its recognition of your motions, but it is not recommended that you be in a wide open area and not simultaneously operating any RL machinery or vehicles while playing. You will be at a -2 multi-action penalty if you attempt to do something in both VR and RL at the same time, and have a -1 encumbrance penalty to VR actions where you do not have RL freedom of action.

Weapons


Most of the Savage Worlds weapons are available - not with the same names, but you may expect, for example, a guard to be carrying an assault rifle comparable to an M-16 except that it uses a small mass driver rather than explosive cartridges that contribute to the greenhouse gas problem.

Some typical weapons you might find in the Avatars 2.0 setting:

Police Service Pistol Mk I - N$150, 3 lbs. Range 12/24/48, 2d6-1 damage, RoF 1, 9+9 shots, semi-auto. These sidearms have been replaced by the police with more advanced models, but a surprisingly large number of weapons which were supposed to have been decommissioned have made their way into other hands. They're dual-cartridge equipped, but gang members will load both cartridges with standard bullets.

Police Service Pistol Mk II - N$250, 4 lbs. Range 12/24/48, 2d6 damage, RoF 1, 17+17 shots, bullets AP 1, semi-auto. Like the original service pistols, these have dual cartridges, usually one carrying standard bullets and the other carrying sleeper darts, but they are also equipped with laser scopes (-2 to range penalties). Fingerprint sensors in the handles are supposed to prevent anyone but their registered owners from using them, but these are defeatable with a Lockpicking check.

Eagle Bolter - N$400, 9 lbs. Range 15/30/60, 2d8 damage, RoF 1, 7 shots, bullets 2 AP, semi-auto fire. Includes a bolt launcher, normally loaded with explosive bolts. This blocky, tough-looking weapon is solidly built enough to use as a bludgeon. (Str+d6) An officer's sidearm.

Eagle Assault Rifle - N$600, 11 lbs. Range 24/48/96, damage 2d8+1, RoF 3, 30+30 shots, AP 2, autofire available. Includes dual cartridge capacity and a scope (reduces range penalty by 2), usually loaded with both standard and rubber bullets for crowd control. The standard issue weapon for Eagle's guards.

Eagle Shockstick - N$400, 10 lbs. Reach 1, 2-handed weapon. Damage Str + d8 + 2 nonlethal. The blunt tips of this weapon are charged, allowing the wielder to subdue unruly crowds and keep them out of arm's reach.

Spazztic! Hammergun - N$450, 4 lb. Range 12/24/48, 2d6 damage, RoF 1, 17 shots, bullets 1 AP, semi-auto fire. While theoretically a machine pistol, this weapon has been equipped with a vibroblade bayonet (Str+d4+2, AP 2). A popular choice with thugs.

Spazztic! Reaper - N$250, 9 lb. Range 12/24/48, damage 1-3d6 (1d6 per bullet), RoF 1, 6 shots. While basically a shotgun with Spazztic!'s special Intimidation Action (can be pumped repeatedly without losing bullets) it has also been fitted with a bolt launcher, normally loaded with concussive bolts. It's big and sturdy enough to use as a bludgeon but watch out you don't cause a misfire! (Str+d6)

Spazztic! Rocker - N$750, 20 lbs. Range 30/60/120, damage 2d8, RoF 4, 200 shots, minimum d8 str, AP 2, snapfire penalty. Tough enough to be used as a battering instrument - Str+d8 - this heavy machine gun was judged intimidating enough in its bulky black metal frame not to need extras like a vibroblade bayonet or a bolt launcher, but it does have a laser sight (-2 to range penalties) that works well for reminding people they're under threat by superior firepower.

G-Force Self-Defense Gun - N$100, 1 lb. Range 5/10/20, 2d6+1 damage, RoF 1, 2 shots, bullets 1 AP. Cannot be reloaded, but a Repair check will allow you to replace the bullets. The gun's condition degrades each time this is done, potentially exploding in your hand. Lightweight plastic construction, but painted a threatening black with a red LED "laser sight" that is actually quite inaccurate.

G-Force Taser - N$150, 2 lb. Range 12/24/48, damage 2d6 nonlethal, RoF 1, 12 shots per charge. Lightweight plastic construction, painted bright yellow with black stripes with a red LED "laser sight" that is actually quite inaccurate. It fires a metal slug attached by a monofilament line to its battery, and retracts it at high speed after each use. Can be recharged with a standard wall outlet over the course of an hour.

G-Tool Vibroblade - N$250, 1 lb. Str + d4 + 2 damage, AP 2. This is not only a survival knife-sized vibroblade but also a miniature toolkit - you can remove the blade and install one of several extensions like a screwdriver or drill bit from the handle. 10 charges (attacks), recharges from standard wall outlets.

Naginata Shadow - N$200, 3 lb. Range 12/24/48, damage 1-3d6 (1d6 per shot), RoF 1, 6 shots, semi-auto. This VR-drama famed weapon can be assembled from a handful of innocuous parts that won't trip most scanners, forming a powerful (if very low capacity) laser pistol that can be charged from a standard wall outlet. Once fully charged, it can be fired 2-3 times. Its small size makes it a favorite of nervous corporate executives.

Naginata Sigh of Heaven - N$300, 8 lb. Range 30/60/120, damage 1-3d6 (1d6 per shot), RoF 3, 48 shots, auto or 3-round bursts. A standard laser rifle with a sophisticated targeting computer programmed to lock out fire against identified friendlies and fingerprint sensors in the stock to prevent illegal access, this is the choice of high-tech corporate elite guards.

Naginata Divine Mercy - N$1000, 12 lb. Range 50/100/200, damage 1-3d10 (1d10 per shot), RoF 1, 24 shots, AP 2, snapfire penalty. Equipped with a scope for -2 to range penalties, this is the sniper rifle of laser weapons, the very embodiment of the one-shot one-kill philosophy. It can be disassembled into parts that fit in a briefcase, but the firing chamber will not pass weapon scanners. You are unlikely to find this anywhere but in the hands of elite corporate assassins.

Naginata Blade - N$1000, 5 lb. Damage Str+d6+8, AP 12. This katana handle extends a monomolecular blade held rigid by a vibration motor that will cut through most materials. While in effect, it illuminates the blade with glaring red light but this can be turned off for the experienced user, making the blade all but invisible.

NOTE: when purchasing ammo, you're buying additional ammo clips that you can use within a battle. As long as you have access to a base or vehicle where you could plausibly have stored replacements, you won't need to buy additional ammo.

While standard bullets can be gotten nearly anywhere, you will need some pull with the police, corporate security forces, or visit a weapons dealer to get non-standard bullets. All bullets are standardized to fit all guns.

Bolts are classed as heavy weapons, so you will need some pull with the police, corporate security forces, or visit a weapons dealer to get bolts of any kind. All bolts are standardized to fit all bolt launchers. Bolts can be adapted as hand grenades with a Repair roll.

Laser weapons and flamethrowers are available, but for those desiring nonlethal crowd control:

Vehicles


Most civilians don't need personal vehicles; they take public transportation or call for a taxi to pick them up. Having your own vehicle is a status symbol, even a humble one. If you live in the Towers or the fortified suburbs, you can assume you have a "bus pass" or can call a taxi as needed to get to other locations with reasonable public transportation access as part of your living expenses, rather than paying from your gear budget.

Ground vehicles are available but have a lot of problems compared to the standard air vehicles: since most traffic now is by air, roads are often obstructed or poorly maintained, and it takes a lot longer to get somewhere by ground than by air. In addition, travel outside the fortified suburbs takes you through the Dregs - imagine a post-apocalyptic wasteland, with gun-toting punks. If you travel by ground, be prepared for traps and ambushes.

You may purchase Used Vehicles for 50% of the base cost. However, such vehicles are of poor quality, -1 to Driving rolls. A High Performance Vehicle costs 150% of the base cost and gives +1 to Driving rolls.

G-Motors Scooter - N$1000. Acceleration 16/top speed 32. Toughness 8 (2 Armor), but not fully enclosed, driver may be attacked separately. Carries driver and 50 lbs of cargo only. A flimsy plastic shell with gyroscope-mounted seat, this scooter has a single powerful fan unit. Begins with d12 condition, reduced by one die type each year or when damage is taken.

G-Motors Commuter - N$2000. Acceleration 20/top speed 40. Toughness 8 (2 Armor), but not fully enclosed, driver and passenger may be attacked separately. Carries driver, passenger and 100 lbs of cargo. One main fan unit is connected via a plastic body to a rear vectorable engine; the passenger sits directly behind the driver on the body, and the cargo compartment is on the underside of the body. Begins with d12 condition, reduced by one die type each year or when damage is taken.

Honda FuzoG-Motors Transporter - N$3000. Acceleration 10/top speed 40. Toughness 10 (3 Armor). Carries up to 3 people, and 100 lbs of cargo. This tiny aircar mounts two side vectored fans and one main lifting fan in the rear. Two small cargo areas are mounted on the underside to left and right, large enough for one piece of luggage apiece. Begins with d12 condition, reduced by one die type each year or when damage is taken.

Icarus Racer - N$1500. Acceleration 30/top speed 60. Toughness 8 (2 Armor), but not fully enclosed, driver may be attacked separately. Carries driver and 50 lbs of cargo only. Built light for speed, this hoverbike mounts two vectored fans to either side and a main jet engine to the rear. Highly reliable and sturdy.
Icarus Racer Sidecar - N$500. This modification adds a passenger sidecar and a small engine which counterbalances the added weight, but reduces the hoverbike's speed to 24/48 and gives it -1 to Driving rolls in combat.

Icarus Cloud - N$4000. Acceleration 20/top speed 40. Toughness 10 (3 Armor). Carries up to 4 people plus their luggage. This heavy vehicle offers full enclosed protection for its driver and three passengers, and a spacious 200-lb capacity trunk. Four individually vectorable fans give it excellent maneuverability.

Icarus Cloud Nine - N$10K. Acceleration 20/top speed 40. Toughness 12 (3 Armor). Carries up to 8 people. The 'stretch limo' version of the Cloud, this fancy aircar will impress everyone with its posh interior and smooth handling. (+2 Persuasion circumstance bonus)

G-Motors Skybus - government. Acceleration 20/top speed 40. Toughness 14 (4 Armor). Carries up to 40 people. These polished white buses are lofted by six giant fans, three on each side, and spacious enough to allow people with dirt bikes to wheel them inside. The flashing advertisements on their sides are usually defaced by spray-paint graffiti.

V-12 VTOL Valkyrie Gunship - military. Acceleration 25/top speed 60. Toughness 16 (4 Armor). Carries up to 8 people. Requires Piloting skill rather than Driving. These are advanced jet-assisted helicopters and usually mount dual heavy machine guns and missile launcher pods.
Valkyrie Medical Evac - while based on the venerable V-12 design, the missile pods have been removed and the crew compartment has been enlarged to include an unfolding ramp, life support equipment, and an emergency surgery system.

ES-4070 VTOL Eagle Security Transport - military. Acceleration 20/top speed 40. Toughness 16 (4 Armor). Carries up to 40 people or a fully loaded armored personnel carrier which can be airdropped or rolled down a ramp unfolding from the rear. These mount four powerful fans, two to either side, and turrets on top and bottom and gunports can be opened up in the sides for use by its crew. Used by Eagle to deploy its troops in the field.

Spazztic! Low Rider - N$500. Acceleration 20/top speed 36. Toughness 10 (4 Armor), 50% for driver. This heavy steel bike looks as if it could transform into a giant robot if you hit the right button, with huge tail exhaust pipes and a protective forward windshield that curves overhead. Its fans won't allow it to go higher than three feet off the ground, limiting this bike to ground routes only. Carries driver and 50 lbs of cargo. Begins with d12 condition, reduced by one die type per year or when damage is taken.
Spazztic! Low Rider Plus - N$250. A sidecar for the Low Rider. Reduces driving rolls by 1 when equipped.

Spazztic! Road Warrior - N$2000. Acceleration 20/top speed 36. Toughness 12 (3 Armor, +6 vs bullets), 50% for driver and passenger. A jeep-like hovercraft, it shares the restriction of the Low Rider in not being able to hover higher than three feet off the ground, but its slanted blackened steel sides make it look quite imposing, with a tall bulletproof windshield for the driver. Can seat four plus 500 lbs of cargo in the open-air trunk; straps are recommended for loose materials.
Spazztic! Vehicle Gun Mount - N$150. This rear swivel mount includes a blast shield that offers 2 armor (+4 vs bullets, 50% protection for gunner). Gun not included!

Polytechnic Motors Capricorn - N$400. Acceleration 150/top speed 30. Toughness 8 (2 Armor), carries driver and 30 lbs of cargo in a small enclosed cargo compartment behind the seat. This is an old-style wheeled motorcycle no longer in service; its manufacturer went out of business in the 2030s, but some diehard fans of vintage transportation have kept these in repair, and occasionally scavengers will turn up more of these. The only thing distinguishing these from 20th century gas burning engines is the lack of a tailpipe due to their tiny fission batteries.

Polytechnic Motors Gemini - N$800. Acceleration 10/top speed 36. Toughness 10 (3 Armor), carries four people and 200 lbs of cargo. This is an old-style wheeled car similar to those of the early 2020s. Its manufacturer went out of business in the 2030s, but scavengers have turned up enough parts to keep these in service well through the 21st century. Like the Capricorn, these are powered by tiny fission batteries.

Robots


Robots are classed as 'Creatures'. For Hacking purposes, if a hacker is crazy enough to try using a robot as a computer from which to hack another computer, they are counted as Green 4 (if d4 Smarts) or Green 6 (if d6 Smarts).

Robot Pet - N$100. Not normally capable of carrying anything of consequence, but may have hands capable of manipulating things. d4-2 Strength, d6 Agility, d4 Smarts, d4 Spirit, d4 Vigor, Toughness 2, Notice d4. Small (Size -2, -1 to be hit by humans). Fearless, immune to disease and poison. Has the AI Minor Hindrance. Normally controlled by voice commands or from a computer such as a pad being carried by the user, but may be controlled with the Wireless interface.
Advanced Robot Pet - N$200. You may add two Advances to a standard Robot Pet.

Utility Robot - N$500. Nonhumanoid model, usually squat and shaped like a garbage can on wheels. Has arms, usually equipped with specific purpose tools but at least one will be a general purpose manipulator. d4 Strength, d4 Agility, d4 Smarts, d4 Spirit, d6 Vigor, Toughness 6 (1 Armor), Notice d4. Fearless, immune to disease and poison. Has the AI Minor Hindrance and Dalek Minor Hindrance (stairs reduce it to half movement). Normally controlled by voice commands or from a computer, but may be controlled with the Wireless interface.
