GEAR

KLS Triarius Heavy EBA (Patron Item)
Image
Located in the CAN Republic on the moon, KLS has always been a forerunner in innovation. The KLS Triarius Heavy Armor is a proof of concept suit designed after the first Arkhon invasion as a response that menace. This armor has proven itself in all the trials thrown at it. KLS has clandestinely delivered a limited number of suits to terrestrial sources gather further information on its capabilities.
• +8 M.D.C. Armor and +3 Toughness
• Multi-Optic Helmet and EBA Armor
• Voice-controlled Computer Integrated Management & Security System (CIMSS): CIMSS is a simple AI which obeys and responds to all user requests and controls the suit's various systems, allowing them to be controlled as a free action.
• The modular arm shield can be equipped on either upper arm. Choose one of the following modes to utilize at any one time.
• •It adds +2 Parry (or +2 toughness vs ranged attacks)
• •The shield deploys itself to provide cover. It's large size effectively gives the wearer light cover. Positioning the shield in this manner is a free action due to the Voice-controlled Computer Integrated Management & Security System (CIMSS).


Mantle of Immortality
No one knows where Watcher found this artifact, what is known is that the device is incredibly powerful and seems to be custom designed for a being like himself or perhaps a dragon. Whenever he is seen, Watcher has the mantel and unfortunately efforts to find more information about it by others are always foiled by Watchers quirk of only answering with questions.
Where ever it came from the mantel seems to bend fate just a little bit making it so things just go a little bit in his favor no matter the situation. This protection has worked out well for him on more than one occasion, leaving him untouched when assaulted by swarms.

Game Mechanics
  • Base Item: Mantel Barding (10,000)
  • Major: Dodge (40,000)
  • Major: Improved Dodge (80,000)
  • Minor: +1 Parry (10,000)
  • Minor: +1 Parry (10,000)
    Total: 150,000

@Technospawn revised Watcher ready for review.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!
