[X] My Assistant

[nezumi]

Very complete, thank you! Ultimately I'm not TOO worried, since I'm not selling this, and I'm copying a lot less than previous people have done, but it's good to know.

[nezumi]

As a note, I am encouraging other people to use these (including for SR3R and SOTA65), but I would love feedback on what you use or don't use and what you modify and why, so I can alter things appropriately. For people who are working to help me perfect this, I haven't done spellcheck yet, but will soon. Grammar checking, however, is always helpful, and any other comments you might have on the flavor text. Be mean. Please also tell me if anything I've listed is already covered by the rules. I would prefer to keep my list as lean as possible without actually losing content.

I believe I've finished my weapons list, which I'll post here. I will continue to post updates when I think that particular list is complete.

One more "gun":

[ Spoiler ]

Renraku NA-35 "Nauseator" Ultrasonic Riot Control Device
Sometimes an occasion arises in which lethality is not the best method. For these occasions, Renraku scientists have created the NA-35 ultrasonic gun. Generating ultra-low frequency noise, well below the audible frequency of humans, this causes any people in the range of the weapon to begin feeling extreme bowel distress, encouraging them in a gentle but urgent manner to evacuate the area quickly and peacefully.

The NA-35 uses the Spray Weapons skill. This device affects an area as if it were a shotgun with a choke of 2. Damage stages normally, with an effective Damage Code of 6L. The power of the attack is not affected by armor, but may be increased or decreased by specific cyberware, adept powers and abilities, as below. Only powers and cyberware that is currently active is counted. Anyone unable to hear the gun is not affected. Cover only applies if it will dampen the sound of the weapon, in which case barriers apply their Barrier Rating / 2. The NA-35 uses a large battery for its power source.


Cyberware Modifier
High Frequency Hearing +1
Low Frequency Hearing +2
Hearing Amplification +2
Damper -4
Select Sound Filter -rating (if switched on)
Powers
Enhanced Perception +1 per level
Improved Sense As per cyberware above

Anyone caught within the area of effect who fails to completely stage down damage does not suffer any physical wounds, but suffers penalties based on the attacker's net successes, as below:


Net successes Effects on target
0 No effect
1 +2 penalty to all Target Numbers for 1D6 turns
2-3 +4 penalty to all Target Numbers, Quickness and Strength reduced by 1, all for 2D6 turns
4+ unconscious for 1D6 minutes (no actual damage taken)

Weapon mods:

[ Spoiler ]

DCR Rifle Grenade Modification
An after-market barrel modification for any weapon that fires standard bullets (not compatible with shotguns, grenade, missile or rocket launchers). The muzzle of the weapon is fitted with a frame into which a mini-grenade can be loaded. When a bullet is fired, it acts as the firing pin for the grenade, and the next bullet can be fired normally. Unfortunately, this technology is still not compatible with any recoil-compensation, smartlink or laser sights. This can hold only a single grenade at a time, and requires a simple action to reload. Use of non-standard ammunition is highly discouraged, as it can have unexpected results.

PANICBUTTON Triggercall
A PanicButton system (SR3, p. 293) is implanted in the frame of the weapon and activated when the trigger is depressed, automatically calling Lone Star (or the local security provider). It does not a tracking signal. This does not take an accessory slot.

DefenseCam
Armor might protect against bullets, but it doesn't help against lawyers. Defensecam is a small camera that takes a still-shot with every pull of the trigger. These pictures can be accessed later for the self-defense plea, making it practically a requirement on home-protection weapons everywhere.

Smartlink Know-It
A gun would be a man's best friend, if only it could follow voice commands. Well now it does! Replacing the trigger of the weapon with a small node, and the firing hammer with an electronic firing pin, the weapon now responds to voice or even thought commands! The weapon, if set for voice commands, is programmed to respond to only one voice (which can be changed by the user through the use of a PIN code). It will respond to any commands given through the smartlink interface, however. This modification is not available for weapons that fire in Single Shot mode. It does not otherwise impact how effectively the weapon operates. This requires that a Smartlink-2 already be installed. Price is based off the initial, stock price of the weapon.

Ammunition
Gas Shotgun Shells
Upon impact, gas spreads from the point of impact, out to up to 2 meters. Gas dissipates within two turns.

Flashbang Shotgun Shells
Upon ignition, a blast of bright fire shoots out of the muzzle of the shotgun. Anyone in the cone of effect (use a choke of 8 for this purpose, and a range of 20 meters) suffers +4 to all modifiers for 4 rounds. Those outside of the cone suffer a +2 modifier (reduced to +1 if the person isn't looking at the shotgun when it goes off). Auditory and visual powers and cyber may increase or decrease this modifier appropriately. Anyone within one meter of the muzzle may suffer 3M damage.

Melee Weapons

[ Spoiler ]

Melee Weapons
SPM-1 Battleglove
Even in 2065, unarmed combat plays a role in surviving the streets. Previously, achieving an edge required significant monetary expense and suffering the serious drawbacks in cyberware. The SPM-1 allows any man or woman to now hold his own against cybered opponents, balancing the field and allowing skill to trump cash.

The SPM-1 Battleglove is a large gauntlet covering the hand and forearm and functions like a cyberarm. It has 4 Equipment Capacity Units, but does not support any DNI interfacing, nor benefit from being above standard grade. Using the glove requires Unarmed Combat, but does physical rather than stun damage. Any mounted weapons use their standard weapons skill. Smartlink interfaces no longer function while the glove is worn. The glove does not count as a weapon for the purpose of two-weapon fighting.

Monofilament Chainsaw
What arsenal is complete without high-powered, tree-cutting equipment? Each chainsaw link is topped with a fine, monofilament tooth. Not especially effective in melee combat against anything other than zombies and ghouls, the chainsaw is a useful tool for anyone badass enough to carry one around while sneaking through a top-secret secure facility.

The chainsaw reduces the value of impact armor and barrier ratings by half. Wielding the chainsaw in combat adds a +1 modifier and uses the Exotic Weapons skill. Should the character be awesome enough to install it in a cyberlimb, it takes 3 ECU, and can be modified to retract the blade into the forearm. If installed in a cyberlimb, the modifier to combat is eliminated.

Siambance Spawnblade
If used to stab normally, it does (Str)L. On a successful hit (damage is inflicted), the "memory-metal" blade returns to its original form, effectively spreading barbs into the body. This does an additional 4M wound (armor does not help). On a glancing blow (the defender successfully stages the damage to nothing), the knife spreads its barbs, but fails to do any damage. The blade can be removed with either a Biotech(4) roll, or a Strength(5) test. If forcibly removed, the defender has to resist another (Str)M wound, without the benefits of armor. It takes a Complex Action to return the blade to its previous shape.

Taser Credstick
This is a modification of any existing credstick. A fine, barely visible, copper mesh is molded into the plastic casing and attached to a three shot battery hidden in the handle. If the credstick moves outside of five meters of a small chip that can be hidden on the person, it discharges a 6S Stun shock the end of every combat turn until the battery expires (see Shock Weapons, SR3, p. 124).

Cobra Stiletto
The Cobra stiletto takes full advantage of its long, slender blade, to allow for the delivery of a chemical past thick armor. The stiletto is made of polymer coated ceramics, making it practically invisible to metal detectors, and contains a reservoir in the handle that feeds into the porous tip of the blade. The holes are small enough that liquid is only pulled through due to liquid diffusion, but will resist dripping due to gravity, and a thumb operated plunger to encourage things along. The Cobra can hold five doses of any liquid. On a successful attack, it delivers one dose past the target's armor.

As an aside, I'm currently looking for web space to host the completed text file on. If people have suggestions, I'm very open to them. I don't mind hosting on multiple sites. I also need to think of a better name for my little document. Perhaps something similar to the Street Samurai catalog?

I agree that full borgs are a reasonable proposition for SR given the existing cyberware.

[Pendaric]

By full borg do you mean Robo cop or Ghost in a shell brain in a jar? The first has alraedy been done and it is a cyber zombie, the latter is dead.

[nezumi]

Full-Body Replacements is probably more accurate, I don't exactly know what a full borg is but these are the terms used in this thread.

A cyberzombie is someone with a negative essence, with delta 'ware a FBR should be able to avoid this.

Chemicals & Nanotech

[ Spoiler ]

Burglar Bomb
Designed for home protection, this is a small, plastic device, about the size of a fire alarm, generally built into the ceiling. It has a rating 3 Ultrasound motion detector. When triggered, it has a thirty second delay, then floods the area with gas. The Burglar Bomb can hold up to four canisters without reloading, each approximately the size of a standard gas grenade. The canisters can be loaded with any sort of air-born gas, but by default comes with Pepper Bomb, an analog of Pepper Punch (use the Pepper Punch damage code). If used in a restricted area, the gas can be contained for minutes or even hours, denying intruders access. When not connected to the home security system, this can be disabled if a button on the side of the case is depressed, hopefully before the gas is fired.

Burglar Bomb 6 As gas 1 4/1 day 800¥ 1 3P-J

Stench Gas
Upon release, a cloud of terribly smelling fumes forms. Anyone within range suffers a +4 modifier to all actions, +2 per additional dose. If this modifier is above a character's willpower, he must make a Body test against that modifier to resist spending the entire turn throwing up. It is possible to store two doses in a gas grenade. This costs 75¥ per dose, has a Street Index of 1 and an Availability of 4/1 week.

Stickum
This is a clear, liquid glue. It will keep its potency for up to four hours when exposed to air, but bonds almost instantly to any substance that touches it for ten seconds or longer. Removing an object requires a Strength(4) test. This costs 60¥ per dose, with a Street Index of 1 and an Availability of 4/1 week.

Nanotech
Yamatetsu "Small Wonders" NanoAgents
Small wonders are microscopic, chemically-programmed cleaning agents. Small Wonders come programmed to remove one (and only one) type of molecule. Simply spray and wait. Within an hour, they've done their work. The current line includes Nanair hair removal, Quik-Gone grease remover, BreezyOff nail polish remover and much more!

Nano-Groomers
Imagine an army of tiny, microscopic robots, with nothing else to do but make you look beautiful. Now your dream has come true. Nano-groomers currently come in three lines; Minty Fresh, Hollywood Hair, and Clearcell skin. Each kind reduces Etiquette related target numbers by 1, to a maximum of 2.

Armor

[ Spoiler ]

Door Gunner's Vest
This is heavy duty armor meant for stationary positions, it exchanges almost all maneuverability for the most extreme protection. Most commonly this is used for helicopter or vector-thrust gunners.

While wearing the Door Gunner's vest, the user cannot dodge or run and his Combat Pool is reduced as though he were wearing stacked armor. The vest only provides protection from the front, any attack from the rear or sides completely negate any bonuses provided by the vest.

Headgear Deck Helmet
A custom-molded, impact-resistance helmet designed to comfortably carry, support and protect almost any deck with only minor customization. This includes a proprietary, modularized motherboard, designed to support any commonly used chips and hardware. Transferring a deck from its old case to the new helmet requires a computer b/r(6) test and 10 hours work, or can be done for 400¥ when the helmet is bought. The helmet confers +1/1 armor, and has a Barrier Rating of 15. Deck not included. External modules can be plugged into the deck, but must be carried elsewhere.

Cyberdeck Utility Suit
A Rapid Transit Line jumpsuit, converted into a cyberdeck? The cyberdeck is broken up among several armored pieces in carefully concealed and protected spots, greatly reducing any chance of damage. It takes 4 hours and a computer b/r(4) test to transfer an existing deck into the new case, and each piece of the case has a Barrier Rating of 12. The Cyberdeck Utility Suit has a concealability of 6 and an armor rating of 2/4. The suit has plenty of pockets and protected cables for carrying additional external accessories. Deck not included.

Guercio Helmet
Most protective gear hasn't changed much in style since the Cold War. Masctio Tech plans to change that, starting with the conventional protective helmet. The Guercio helmet looks like a slim-line motorcycle helmet. The visor works like Gabbana goggles (below). The helmet contains a built-in respirator, which can be instead attached to an independent oxygen source (not included). It also includes a built-in radio (rating 2). This can be considered Fine Clothing (but still not appropriate for all venues).

Ciampolo Boots, Gloves
The perfect accessories for those who depend on their hands, but still don't want to look like a grease monkey. Using nanotech-based insulating materials, both boots and gloves protect the wearer from temperature extremes and many dangerous chemicals. The gloves feature transducers in the fingertips and palms, allowing a sense of texture without reducing its protective abilities (reducing the penalty for touch perception tests to +1). When worn, the gloves and boots add an effective +1 to fire, cold and chemical resistance, +6 to attacks that specifically target the hands or feet. They are considered Fine Clothing.

Fashion
Below are new innovations in style and fashions. It should be assumed that the below prices are for the purpose of modifying existing styles, giving players a wide choice of available clothing lines and fashion statements, without restricting functionality.

Nu Visions
The Wearman series from Nu-Tek, a division of Aztechnology, allows trids and videos to be displayed on the fabric of the clothing itself. With a built in trid receiver and a small control built into the sleeve or pocket of the garment, channel changing is easy and covers all publicly available stations. Nu Visions can display multiple "screens" simultaneously, and while it does not provide audio, it can sync up with an audio Wearman device automatically, giving the full sensory experience.

Image Canvasware
Previously, light tattoos required invasive cyberware. Now Canvasware allows any area of skin, cloth or chrome accept the beautiful and exciting art of light tattoos without any risk of surgery or scarring. Canvasware allows for all the flexibility of light tattoos with half the cost (DNI still required for direct command over patterns and colors, but it can interact with Mood-skin without further costs). Canvasware naturally fades over the course of four months

[Pendaric]

I think in the case of the Cyberdeck Utility Suit the barrier rating should be reduced. I doubt some one would really have structural material comfortable amassed about their person. We are taking 15mm+ of steel so up the weight if you really want to keep it at 12.
The Ciampolo gloves/boots seem a little to advanced for SR nano tech, so perhapes uping the cost. The same applies to the small wonder nanoteck.
Everything else looks fine.

[Pendaric]

There is also some overlap with existing SR equipment as well. There is already a sonic rifle Sota 64 or perhapes 63.
The word activation for a gun exists in cannon comp and pure DNI firing could be translatd via a smart link.
Hope this is helpful.

[nezumi]

You've been more helpful than you know. On the most basic level, I've begun wondering if I'm whistling in the dark, since no one seems interested :P And you are certainly correct on most of your points. The nauseator gun is gone (it's in SOTA64, I had completely forgotten about it). I can't find the word activation for a gun though, I'll have to keep searching. The DNI firing is not actually canon, although someone here (perhaps you) suggested it as neat color text and I liked it. That change may be pending.

You're right on the deck casing. I don't know why I thought 12. Reading the Matrix book (where I should have started :P ) casing starts with a barrier rating of 3 and can go up to 12. I guess I'll drop it down to 6, which seems like a reasonable compromise between weight and armor, and 8 for the helmet (since a helmet is going to be heavy protection). Does that sound more reasonable?

I doubled the cost and SI on the gloves. They don't seem too overpriced to me, since we technically use nanotech now to make stain-resistant pants (and I was imagining it along those lines, not that it's actual functioning nano-tech). Small Wonders I've been on the fence on. It is a trivialization of SR nanotech. I'm not sure if I should include them at all, even though they would only serve to add color. I'll up them to 800 and consider.

Yes, thank you for the comments. They're definitely needed! Like I've said, I'm starting to wonder if it's wasted effort on my part though. Not a lot of people seem interested. I'll try to slide them in with SOTA65, but beyond that... *shrug*

[Platinum]

Keep up the good fight Nez. I am interested. I am just not sure how to help. I have only been glancing at the thread and have no idea what it is you would need. If it is encouragement, I will offer that, and say that I am looking forward to this.

[Drraagh]

One of the things I quite enjoyed about CP2020 was the flavor of it. Not just the gear and everything, but the fact it was a more realistic experience, and even some stuff like prayer wear, clothing lineups, stuff like that. Removable cyberfingers, prayerware... There was a lot of atmosphere in CP2020, a lot of punk that didn't make it to SR until recently. For more of what I mean, check out Cyberstyle.

[nezumi]

Neat site. I do actually incorporate a few of his ideas, although his emphasis is more on setting, whereas mine is on equipment. A full blurb on describing the world would be interesting, although I'm hesitant to undertake it, since I know there are so many different opinions on how it should go. I'd rather make stuff I think 70% of GMs would be happy to use than something only 30% would use (yes, I'm being optimistic, I know).

Anyway, continuing on...

Linear Frames (also listed in SOTA65)

[ Spoiler ]

Linear Frames
Linear Frames push the definition of "armor". They are external exo-skeletons with an independent set of myomer "muscles" a metahuman wears, in order to augment his physical abilities. They are closely related to Powered Armor (in vehicles), differentiated primarily by their scale of complexity. Linear Frames are worn equipment and generally require no additional skills to use.

Ares Packhorse™ Linear Frame
The Ares Packhorse is the cutting edge in Linear Frame technology. Using a high-density aluminum frame wrapped around the user’s legs and operated through discrete servos and gyros, it can take the load off when carrying the heaviest pack through the thickest terrain. Its patented “Perpetual Motion” technology ensures that battery recharging is never required, and it has been tested for the most extreme rugged conditions. Knowing the conditions troops sometimes find themselves in, it can synergize with the medium or large Ares Rucksack, creating a convenient upright stretcher and head brace, to allow for easy medical transport when vehicles are not available.

Game Information:
This device adds +2 to the user’s strength for the purposes of calculating encumbrance only. While worn, the user’s maximum quickness for the purpose of running is capped at 4. This is not compatible with Kid Stealth legs or cyberskates. The device can be disabled with a Complex Action by removing a pin in each knee. This removes all benefits and drawbacks of the Packhorse.

Ares Samson™ Linear Frame
Ares continues to outperform the competition with its Samson™ full body linear frame. This rigid exoskeleton contains all the strength of a troll without the attitude. In addition to the increased load-bearing ability of the user, it is outfitted to serve as a gyro stabilization unit for any standard firearm, and comes pre-equipped for Smartlink users (compatible with Smartlink 1, Smartlink 2 and Smartgoggles systems). Unlike conventional gyro stabilization, this frame interacts with the wearer via his datajack, allowing it to move comfortably with him like a second skin, eliminating the unfortunate restrictions of conventional gyro mounts. It comes with Ares’ patented “Perpetual Motion” technology, as well as a backup battery. The Samson linear frame turns even the weakest member of the squad into a hero.

Game information:
This device adds +3 to the user’s strength for all purposes, including determining the size of weapon a character may wield and melee damage. It reduces quickness to a maximum of 4 for determining running speed, and takes 4 combat turns to remove or disable. It offers 6 points of recoil compensation, and has a built in Smartlink connection and goggles. While worn, it confers a +1 to all target numbers in melee combat and reduces combat pool by one quarter. If the user connects to the device using anything less than a datajack, the penalty is +2 to all target numbers in melee combat and combat pool is reduced by one half. Unlike the Packhorse, this unit uses pneumatics. Anyone in the area may make a Perception test with a base target number of 6 to hear the linear frame in use while the user is moving. It counts as 1/1 armor, but can be comfortably worn over any non-security armor.

Gabbana Designer Eyewear
Zeiss cybereyes are attractive when someone stares into your eyes, but the rest of the time you simply fade into the crowd. Designer eyewear has always been, and continues to be, a statement in fashion and quality. Now Gabbana Designers offer a wide selection of eyewear that allows for the class of the classic mirror shades, and the utility of installed cyberware, without any of the drawbacks of either. Gabbana currently offers three basic packages, each of which can be customized to the user's requests.

Goggles come in primarily aviator and wrap-around style, can accept up to .5 essence in add-ons and has a datajack plug-in to allow DNI control. They function for eight hours before needing to be recharged.
Shades come in a number of styles. All shades can accept up to .3 essence in add-ons. Functions may be toggled using control bumps on the edge of the frame. They function for four hours before needing to be recharged.
Contacts are simple contact lenses, although they may come in any color or style, and can accept up to .2 essence in add-ons. Functions are always on while worn. They function for one hour before needing to be recharged.

All packages can accept any eye-based cyberware modification, up to the maximum essence capacity of the eyewear. The eyewear does not accept any non-standard cyberware grades, and does not cost the wearer any essence. With the exception of the goggles, no eyewear is capable of DNI control, and therefore all functions are controlled manually, if at all. All versions run on a battery based on the size of the equipment, limiting their degree of use.

Novatech eBud Earwear
There has always been a market for hearing aids, but it's only in the last few years that that market has become trendy. EBuds support a variety of cyberear enhancements, without the normal essence cost associated with implanted cyberware. EBuds currently only come in one model, although in a variety of colors. In addition to supporting features commonly only found in artificial ears, the eBud interfaces with local wireless devices like a pocket secretary or cell phone, to make for a truly multi-use device. The long battery life allows eBuds to continue providing quality sound for up to 10 hours.

EBuds or ear buds can hold up to .3 essence in cyberear add-ons without costing the user any essence. Add-ons must be standard grade. All functions can be toggled through a tiny control on the ear bud itself.

Lead's Show-Off Nails
Press-on or installed nails, these can have their color and pattern changed with a simple touch of their attached stylus. Twist the stylus to select the color and pattern (more patterns can be bought online through the Lead's matrix host). Show-Off nails can be installed as cyberware for .05 essence for ten, and at an additional 300¥ cost.

[Herald of Verjig...]

I remember seeing a link a while back that was a low light contact lense being developed for military use that is powered soley by some rare earth magnet specks stuck to the inside of the wearer's eyelid. But for game balance issues and such, I see nothing wrong with the 1 hour per charge.

How does the recharging work for any of the external senseware?

[cetiah]

Lead's Show-off nails and canvasware hardly needs their own entries, do they? Why not just have some generic color-shifting gloss-device thingie that can replace any implanted parts you want. You could have color-shifting nails, or skin, or hair, or, umm... other stuff.

I don't understand the communications flopscreen either. Why not just have a generic "flexible, plastic display screen" that displays anything you want from your comlink? It seems far too limited.

[Pendaric]

I like everything but the contact lenses, in sot 64 they have low light contact lenses unpowered that burn out in bright light.

[nezumi]

I had noticed them the other day, and I thought that was cool. However they don't have something like say a display link contact lens, or just a color shifting contact lens. So this would allow for a wider range of 'contact lens technology'. It's a feature that appears in SR4, but not SR3.

Does that change your answer at all?

[Pendaric]

Sorry no. I don't believe the cyber would fit a contact lense and it removes the need for implantation, either full cyber eyes or just retinal mods.
Colour shifting would be cool, have had a few characters walk my game with changing eye colours. Mostly cyber eyes but some bio or magicaly produced.

[nezumi]

Would it be acceptable if the essence amount were reduced to .1? This would still allow for some of the functionality, but aside from those truly minor things and low-light (from SOTA64), it really couldn't compare to cyber.
