Signature Item For Venator John Carter - Targeting Assistance Unit (TAU)

Post by Danny Lee »

This is Venator John's free Signature Item for the From The Gates of Hell Game.

Targeting Assistance Unit (TAU)

This smartphone-sized device consists of a set of advanced sensors connected to a high performance computer containing sophisticated fire-control software. Usually clipped to a belt or mounted externally on armor to minimize signal interference, the unit utilizes data provided by its own sensors and from external sources such as helmets and scopes wirelessly synched with it to continuously calculate targeting solutions for people and objects in the vicinity. The results can then be utilized by devices wirelessly linked with the unit to greatly increase the accuracy of weapons calibrated to them.

EDIT: Corrected cost in credits.

Super Tech Item (Base: Hand Held Computer) - 250 credits
Major: Marksman - 50,000 credits
Major: Sharpshooting - 50,000 credits
Minor: +1 to Shooting - 5,000 credits
Minor: +1 to Shooting - 5,000 credits

Total: 110,250 credits

My only question is, "Why not a MoH as the base item?"

PCs in the From The Gates of Hell game can get a free Signature Item but only if it’s obvious and accessible. Hence the base item being something that could potentially be snatched off a belt or ripped off its mount.

Nice. Stat-wise, approved.

I approve this build.
  • 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!
