Weapon Mods

Melee

Power Packs:

Powered weapons require “power packs.” They continually recharge using a combination of kinetic motion, ambient radiation, and even body heat, but can burn out. On a 1 on the Fighting die, the power pack burns out and the weapon has no power until it is replaced, requiring an action. Each power pack costs $50 and weighs 1 pound. The weight of each powered modification below includes one attached power pack. The exact effect of being unpowered for each modification is listed in its description.

Notes

Any bladed weapon, such as a sword or axe, can be fitted with a rotating chain of diamond-edged blades, or made to vibrate at extremely high frequencies. Chain or vibro blades are extremely loud, but add +1d6 damage and AP +2 to the weapon’s basic statistics. Unpowered, the blade is a normal weapon of its type.

Notes

Edged weapons such as daggers or swords can be given a monofilament, “molecular,” or extremely thin edge, making them far sharper than usual. This gives the weapon +2 damage and adds half its damage die type in AP (+2 AP for a d4, +4 AP for a d8, and so on). Molecular blades require no power.

Blunt weapons can be rigged to deliver a stunning charge of energy. After a target is hit by the weapon (including a Touch Attack), resolve damage. Then the victim must make a Vigor roll or fall prone and Incapacitated. At the start of each subsequent action, he makes a Vigor roll to revive. Success means he revives but is Shaken for the round and can recover on the next as usual A raise means he revives instantly and is not Shaken. An unpowered stun weapon does normal damage.
