Royal EnfieldOrdnance Liquid Propellant Assault Rifle LPA1

The LPA1 is a twin-magazine, liquid-propellant, variable velocity assaultrifle, designed as a multi-role small arms weapon system that is enteringlimited test service. The LPA1 is laid out in a traditional bullpupconfiguration with the liquid propellant stored in a self-sealing armouredcassette in the butt. The twin helical magazines are situated on either side ofthe receiver. Each magazine holds 45 rounds, giving the rifle an immense 90round ammo supply. With dual magazines it is possible to carry mixed ammo typesfor greater flexibility, coming in 5.56 mm.
The rifle has three velocity setting, which can be selected manually or througha weapon link. The settings are 1) low-riot, 2) medium-urban, and 3) high-fullcombat. Because of the high recoil on full velocity, a hydro-pneumatic recoildamper was built into the rifle. The liquid propellant is injected into thebreech under computer control, the amount injected depends on the velocitysetting and range of the target. This information comes from the integral sightand rangefinder situated on top of the receiver. The LPA1 carries enough liquidpropellant to fire 180 rounds at high velocity.

Ravager
The ravager is a pump shotgun with two tubular magazines to increase it'sammunition capacity. The barrel and magazines are laid out in a triangle, withthe barrel at the top point and the two magazines making up the two lowerpoints. A single pump connects to both tubes and is well padded and grooved fora more comfortable fit. A thumb selector allows for easy switching betweeneither magazine, which can allow for more versatility of being able to load twodifferent types of rounds. At only 26.1 inches long, the ravager is a decentsize, but doesn't come with a stock. An optional stock is available. Mountingrails on either side of the barrel allow for tactical lights or even lasertargeters to be attached.

M-25
As the M-16 is showing its age, newer weapons were needed. The M-25 wasselected for its replacement. A bullpup design, reducing the overall length,using an ambidextrous design and more ergonomic curved handles, which alsoreduce chances of snagging, the M-25 was a great improvement over the olderM-16. With two universal mounts, one under the barrel and one on top. Insteadof a normal magazine, the M-25 uses a 50 round cylindrical magazine that fitsinto the stock. The M-25 uses caseless 5.56mm rounds, but with a simpleconversion, with a kit that fits in the forward handle, the M-25 can be made tofire older rounds with casings.

Hedgehog NeedleRifle
A needle rifle that fires a stream of 1mm diameter stainless steel slivers bymeans of oscillating magnetic fields, using a similar principle as rail guns,gives the Hedgehog excellent range for a needle rifle. Silent except for thehiss of the flying projectiles, the Hedgehog has no muzzle flash to reveal itsposition. Due to the relatively low kinetic energy of individual projectiles,the hedgehog is not designed to punch through heavy armour, but is devastatingagainst unarmoured or lightly armoured infantry. The hedgehog is sealed anddesigned to work in virtually any environment, from normal air to vacuum, underwater and even exotic atmospheres.
Besides having semi and full automatic fire modes, the hedgehog has a widefield fire mode, firing a large amount of metal slivers in a cone like area,however using up a large amount of ammunition in the process and with a muchshorter range.

P9 Sonic HarpoonArtillery Remote Projectile Rifle

The P9 Sonic Harpoon Artillery Remote Projectile Rifle (SHARP Rifle), nicknamedthe Sharp Stick after its unique ammunition, is a prototype weapon that fires atime-delayed explosive tipped darts. Instead of normal explosives, the SHARPuses powerful sonic emitters to create a sonic shockwave. The premise of thisdesign was to create an alternate form of area damaging munition that wouldn'tset off potential flammable or temperate sensitive materials. The sonicshockwave is powerful and resonates in numerous frequencies allowing it to beused to damage structures, although not quite as effective as focused sonics orother more standard explosives.

Climbsuit
The climbsuit is a special form of armour that assists the wearer in climbing,especially when traveling along smooth modern materials. The suit consists ofknee and elbow pads plus gloves covered in SureGrip, a substance designed tostick to smooth surfaces. It also includes a high-impact helmet and kevlarplates and equipment harness.
A character wearing a climbsuit gains a +3 equipment bonus to all Climb checks.It is also possible to climb a perfectly smooth, flat surface with a Climbcheck (DC 30). The suit makes falling much less likely-a character has to faila Climb check by 10, rather than 5, to fall.
The features of a climbsuit (the pieces covered in SureGrip) can be added to aset of nonpowered armour. Armour modified in this way provides only a +2equipment bonus to Climb checks (instead of the normal +3), but otherwisefunctions as a normal climbsuit. Other functions of the modified armour remainunchanged. To make this modification, add the price of a climbsuit to all othercosts involved in the modifications.

Charge Shield (PL7/8Shield Proficiency)

The charge shield is an advancement in an ancient form of defense: shields. Thecharge shield looks like a small round shield with straps to hold it on one'sarm and a handle to help direct and wield it. The handle has the activationbutton, as well as the power pack quick release. The charge shield runs onstandard power packs. Once activated, the shield emits a faint energy fieldaround the user of a colour depending on the type of energy it protectsagainst. The field will absorb blasts from the type of energy it protectsagainst, up to a certain amount, before it shuts down, protecting the user fromall directions. The field can absorb up to 60 points of damage before itdeactivates, requiring two hours to replenish. If the shield is deactivated bythe user before the full amount of damage absorbed, the shield replenishes at arate of 1 point every two minutes.
The charge shield has one additional ability, after it has absorbed at least 15points of damage. For every 15 points of damage (a small LED panel on theinside of the shield indicates the charge) the shield absorbs, it can release abolt of energy of the same type (1d6) up to 30 feet away at a single target,with a -1 penalty to attack roll. The released energy replenishes 1d6 points ofdamage that it can absorb (rolled separate from the damage the dischargedealt).
The colours the field and their corresponding energy types are: red for fire(plasma, lasers), green for acid, blue for electricity, purple for sonic, whitefor cold, and orange for force.

Cloaks

Polymeric Cloak (Late PL6/7)
This cloak is made from common or more stylish clothes, with thin strips ofpolymeric armour, similar to that used in mech, vehicle and starship armour,only much thinner. Many diplomats and royalty purchase these cloaks as theyprovides some protection without encumbering them or having to wear a full suitof armour. The cloak is usually designed with a hood and covers the body downto below the knees and can be pulled closed around the wearer. The cloakprovides a +1 armour bonus when pulled closed, or +1 shield bonus when open. Ifthe user fights defensively with the cloak open, draping part of it over theirarm, the user gains a +2 shield bonus instead.

Glide Cloak (PL6)
This cloak has a harness that is strapped around the upper torso and shoulders.It appears as any common cloak and comes in a number of colours and is alwaysmade to be at least knee length. Along the outer edge, but on the inside ofeach side is a set of handles that make it easy to close or wave the side ofthe cloak. In the harness is a small battery and altimeter. There is a smallrecessed button on each handle and on the harness. When any one of thesebuttons is pressed, the battery sends a small electric charge into the fabricof the cloak, which is actually a metafabric, and it reshapes and stiffens toform a personal glider. The glider is fairly easy to use, with the handles in aposition that is comfortable for most people, allowing for fairly easy changeof direction. The altimeter is designed to automatically deploy the glider ifthe user falls more than 30 feet. To remove the chance of the glider deployingaccidently when the user is in an aircraft, the altimeter is designed with aproximity sensor in the bottom of the cloak rim so when there's no floor belowthe user, the altimeter prepares to deploy the glider.

Vanadium Cloak (PL6/7)
The vanadium cloak is similar to the polymeric cloak, only it is designed forcombat, usually coming in matte black or various camouflage colouring. Thecloak also has sleeves which allow it to be worn more like a robe to providemore protection. It provides all the benefits of the polymeric cloak, but inaddition, when it is closed around the user, such as when worn as a robe withthe user's arms through the sleeves, it provides a +1 Reflex bonus againstexplosives or weapons that allow a Reflex save (blast, line or cone effectssuch as grenades or flamethrowers). The armour bonus to Defense stacks with anyarmour worn underneath. Also when worn closed, the cloak provides the user withthe benefits of light fortification, with a 25% chance to of critical hitsbeing turned into normal hits.

Deflect Cloak (PL6/7)
This cloak with hood usually has a metallic look to its cloth. The cloth isimpregnated with ceramic tiles and other reflective material, allowing it toreflect heat and energy. While worn, the user gains a +1 Deflection bonus toDefense against energy attacks (such as lasers, plasma, ion, fire, etc), butnot acid, sonic or cold damage. Also built throughout the cloak is a coolingunit, which can help keep the wearer cool in hot environments, functioning likea survival suit when drawn closed for about 8 hours. When pulled close, withthe hood up and pulled closed as well, and a control activated, the wearergains fire resistance 5 (works against lasers, normal fire, plasma weapons) for1 minute (10 rounds) (similar to Batman's cap in one of the original Batmanmovies), useable 5 times a day, but require a minute between uses. Thebatteries in the cloak will allow the cloak to function for about 4 days beforerequiring recharging, using a universal adaptor for most power outlets, takingabout 2 hours to recharge fully.

PowerShield
These shields are sturdy, light and function quite well on their own, but theyhave a protective field installed in them. This field, while primitive comparedto magnetic or particle fields, and is partially based in gravimetrics, helpsto deflect attacks. The field redirects and slows kinetic energy and inertia,so all physical attacks, including melee weapons, unarmed strikes, ballisticand other physical ammunition are affected by this field. A standard power packprovides enough power for about 2 hours of constant operation. Also, when usedto make shield bash type attacks with the field activated, the field seems toadd a bit of damage and can also push back an opponent struck.

FRDEArmour
Fanning Recoil Diminisher exoskeleton is a suit of medium armour, loosely basedon the land warrior armour. Although the armour plating is lighter, making itmore maneuverable, it is enhanced with a series of micro hydraulics and servos,making it similar to micro-assist armours, but not to the full extent asmicro-assist power armours. The 'exoskeleton' is really a misnomer, as the FRDEdoesn't have a true exoskeleton, and it doesn't provide any strengthenhancements. What it does do is support some of it's own weight, reduce thefelt recoil of automatic weapons, and reduce fatigue from marching or runninglong distances.
Similar to the land warrior, the FRDE comes with built in communications, smallcomputer for sending and receiving text messages, images, video, and link toscopes similar to the land warrior, and includes a small helmet mountedcamera.

ShockArmour
This suit of armour was originally designed for a mercenary company, whichended up being wiped out before picking up more than half a dozen of the suits.Not wanting to waste a decent suit of armour, the company produced a largeamount of them and put them on the open market. The suit is designed to beimposing yet functional, with environmental seals and air supply. A detachablejet pack and advanced targeting system and sensors are included. The sensorsinclude infrared, night vision, thermo-imager, targeting sight and telescopicoptics up to 2 miles. There is also an air filtration and a small air supplybuilt into the helmet to allow the wearer to ignore the effects of air toxinsand gases. The filters allow the wearer to load tear gas and other riot controlgases in the gas dispenser and be immune.
Built into the armour are several weapon systems and a detachable jet pack. Inthe left arm is a gas dispenser and grenade launcher, and a stun baton is builtinto the left hand.

Weapons

FN P180

Capitalizingon the success of the P90 years ago, and with advances in caseless ammunitionover the years, FN created a replacement to the aging P90: the P180. Using5.56mm x 28mm instead of 5.7mm x 28mm that was in the P90, with the newer XZpropellant. Due to its light weight and high magazine capacity, the P180 is afavourite among tank crews and even secret service members. Due to the smallersize and light weight, the P180 is easier to conceal than the old P90

XZpropellant was discovered to have a much cleaner burn and can easily be shaped,and hold a shape for caseless rounds, leaving no unused residue in the chamberto cause jams 99.5% of the time. XZ has slightly improved performance over themost common used propellants used from the time of the release of the P90 topresent (about 10% increase for a comparable round), which allows for aslightly smaller projectile to have the same damage and range of a slightlylarger caliber, even with a shorter barrel.

Using afeeding system almost identical to the P90s, lighter frame, and the samefeatures as the P90, allowed for easy training for those familiar with theaging P90.

Beretta102

TheBeretta 102 is a collaboration between Beretta and HP to create a compact dualweapon system. Using charge pistol technology but wrapped in an older styleframe with the forward section modified to hold a small laser modeled after thePD250. However, due to space limitations, the power pack of the laser can notbe removed, so a power cable has to be plugged into the weapon to recharge thelaser's power supply.
As aconsideration that the weapon was going to be sold to military supportpersonnel and tank/mech crews where space is limited for personal defensesystems, HP has added a special boosting capacitor system to give the lasersignificantly more punch, but drains the battery far faster.

Falcon HF

The FalconHF is Texan Arms' first foray into pistols, although it isn't just a hand gun,it comes with a high frequency blade attached to use in melee combat as well.
Wellcrafted and balanced, some people have started to combine many martial artsstyles that use small bladed weapons combined with fighting styles that peoplewould consider part of 'gun'fu'. This does reduce the number of weapons one hasto carry into combat, one does have to be careful not to slice themselves whenusing the Falcon HF. The Falcon makes use of the XZ propellant allowing for adecent size magazine and also due to a unique barrel design which refocuses theexpanding gases of the propellant to gives the Falcon incredible range for apistol.

Pneumatic Pistol (PL 5)
Developed when mankind took its first steps into space, the pneumatic pistol operates on simple compressed-air technologies to fire a standard ballistic bullet.Though standard firearms would function in space, the heat and friction generated by standard firearms caused guns to jam as their metal frames expanded and contracted. Thus, the pneumatic pistol was created to eliminate the excess heat generated by standard firearms while still maintaining velocity and lethality. The pneumatic pistol fires a specially designed bullet, launched from the weapon by an intense blast o fcompressed air. With no gravity or atmospheric friction to slow down the pneumatic bullet, only a small amount of compressed air is required to get the bullet up to lethal speeds in the vacuum of space. Each magazine of pneumatic ammunition contains not only the bullets themselves, but the highly-compressed air needed to propel those bullets. Though less effective in an atmosphere, pneumatic pistols have much higher ranges in space than most standard firearms.
Pneumatic Rifle (PL 5)
The pneumatic rifle employs the same technology as the pneumatic pistol. The pneumatic rifle fires deadlier rounds at targets even further away from the shooter, using a larger amount of compressed air and a specially-designed barrel that enhances the ammunition’s momentum as the weapon is fired.

Noteneumatic weapons use their normal range increments while in vacuum or very thin atmospheres, but suffer half range in normal or heavier atmospheres.Pneumatic weapons use personal firearms proficiency.

Wris tLauncher

The wrist launcher is a thick, armoured gauntlet that completely covers the hand and forearm up to the elbow. Behind the wrist is the exit ports for the weapon system. A few different versions of the wrist launcher is available, from light ballistic weapon, shotgun with usually special rounds, flechette or mini grenade launcher. Loading a wrist launcher is not quick due to the design to keep it as light and form fitting as possible, taking a trained person about 5 minutes to fully reload. To fire a wrist launcher, a firing stud on the side is available, but most users prefer the trigger inside the gauntlet which is primed when the hand is held in a specific way, then specific fingers move to act as the trigger. These weapons use advanced miniaturization and start making small scale appearances in the most advanced elite units at the end of PL6 and sees a little more wide spread use in more elite units or among officers and spec ops teams in PL7.

Starflash

The starflash is more of a vanity item than a true combat pistol. Very stylish with it's sleek, chrome finish. Although it is very reliable, its damage and range is lower than other laser pistols, although it does have a much higher payload from a standard power pack. It's usually sold more as a defense weapon for more well off civilians, especially since its stun setting is particularly well respected.

Dragoon Mini-Flamer(PL 7)
Resembling a large pistol, this weapon is a miniaturized variant of the flamethrower (see Chapter 4: Equipment in the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game for more information
about the flamethrower). A character must have the Personal Firearms Proficiency feat to use the dragoon mini flamer properly. This weapon is unlike a conventional flamethrower in that it is used to make direct attacks on a specific target (rather than on any creature in the line of flame) and requires an attack roll (rather than a reflex save from each target, as is the case when attacking with a flamethrower). The dragoon mini-flamer is fed by a rod of solid chemical fuel that is loaded directly into the weapon like a
clip of ammo. The chemical fuel in the rod is a byproduct of chemical rocket propellant research,but was an ineffective propellant because it burned too hot and too slow. The dragoon miniflamer shoots a stream of flaming goo that adheres to the target and initially deals 2d6 fire damage. The goo continues to burn, dealing 1d6 points of fire damage per round for 4 rounds. This burning chemical compound is difficult to extinguish, and takes two full round actions or the use of a fire extinguisher to put out.

Dragoon Mini-Flamer 2d6 x2 Energy (Fire) 20 ft. Single 10 box Small 5 18 Res (+1)


Dragoon Fuel Rod
This solid fuel rod functions as ammunition for the dragoon mini-flamer. If the rod itself takes 15 points of direct fire damage it ignites and explodes, dealing 2d8 fire damage to all within a 10-foot radius (Reflex save for half).

Mustang Arms Whisper

The name Whisper, is a misnomer, for this weapon. A well balanced pistol shaped like old revolvers, but in reality it is a heavy laser pistol, with a quite loud discharge. It doesn't use a standard power pack, instead using a cylinder shaped one, with a docking port that comes with the whisper when purchased. The power of this weapon is comparable to laser rifles, but lacks the range, which for most users is fine as it makes for an excellent close quarters weapon. The holster is designed for quick drawing and holstering the weapon again, making it a favourite amongst gunslingers.

Comes with a docking station for recharging its power cells. The holster allows for it to be quickly drawn in an emergency. The MX also features a powerful stun setting,which in many areas where owning a weapon is illegal, or extremely difficult to obtain licensing, the MX can be locked in stun only setting, making it more legal.

Balor
The Balor is a large framed magnum revolver with a single shot gyrojet barrel mounted on top. The revolver chamber holds 7 magnum pistol rounds, while the gyrojet holds a single gyrojet rifle round.
Balors were designed for survivalists that might encounter hostile indigenous creatures that are too large for smaller arms. The magnum rounds have more stopping power than standard pistols, using XZ propellant .44 magnum caseless rounds. The gyrojet rifle round provides an even longer range, and sometimes fitted with an explosive rounds. Balors are also found amongst some officers as the magnum offers good stopping power at modest range, plus the gyrojet's long range allows for greater striking range, if a bit slower to reload.

Nelson
The Nelson is a simple, easy to use, personal defense gauss pistol. It uses a small 2.2mm caliber round, making it fairly weak in terms of damage, but it holds a large capacity of rounds. The ammunition uses metamaterials that becomes easily malleable once a magnetic field passes through it. The magnetic field that launches the round activates the metamaterial, which allows it to deform incredibly quickly upon hitting a target, transferring far more of its kinetic energy to the target than normal bullets, also preventing chances of the round punching through the target. Unfortunately, this also means that targets with armour are better protected as the force from the impact is spread out over the armour, transferring less to the target. The magazine contains the power cell for the Nelson, and using the provided charging dock that comes with the Nelson. To power the Nelson, a small rechargeable power pack is placed in the back, with enough power to launch 200 rounds. A coloured power light indicates how full the charge is. Once it turns red, the battery has enough power to fire 10 more times before requiring a recharge. It flashes red when there is only enough power for 2 shots.

The EP, or Energy Pulse, weapons fire brief but intense bursts of charged particles. To an observer, the weapon seems to spit small balls of white flame that explode on contact with a solid object. Pulse guns have respectable stopping power and range.

The EP-1 is the first of the energy pulse weapon series, and as such is more bulky than the later models, and suffers from lower damage and range. A bulky, short rifle, compared to the EP-8, but has larger area damage than the -5 or -8.

Thunderfist Disposable Hold-Out Gun

The Thunderfist is a two shot 11mm caseless derringer formed of woven graphite fiber. In cross-section, the Thunderfist is only just over an inch and a half across, and only 5 inches long. Readily concealable and containing no ferrous metals, this baby still packs a punch out to 75 feet. Internal chemical propellent fires the ceramic projectiles that are sharpened for armour penetration. When both rounds are fired, the weapon can be thrown away as the left over chemicals from the propellant melts the frame. These weapons are used by many military specialists and infiltrators as a back up weapon due to the construction and stealth material used in it's construction.
When not in use, the Thunderfist looks like just a handle with a button the left side. Pressing the button with your thumb, with fingers held out, the barrel and trigger swing up and out for quick and easy use.

Healing Goop

Life Sciences entry into pharmaceuticals is aptly named.. It's green goop that heals. Using their expertise in genetics, they created a type of bacteria that is short lived once exposed to air, and its only purpose is to fuel the natural healing process of organic creatures. This green gel is kept in containers and applied via caulking gun like devices, applied to the skin of a target, preferably on or near the injury. This goop is absorbed by the skin, and heals the target. A single application, which is about 4 ozs, which the applicator is predesigned to dispense with each pull of the trigger, heals 1d4 Hit Points. This will also stop the bleeding condition, and if applied to a dying subject, even if the amount of damage healed doesn't raise them to 0 HP, it allows the subject to make an immediate save to stabilize with a +2 to the check.
Applicator weight: 3 lbs, PDC 4.

Remote Jet Injector

This medium sized pistol is actually a medical device designed to make use of Life Science's Healing Goop. The device looks like a thick curved pistol with a large cradle on the top half where the 40 oz Healing Goop container is inserted. Under the frame, in front of the trigger guard is a small cylinder, which is a small air compressor. The Remote jet injector works by sucking in air, compressing it, then uses that to launch a single application of the green healing goop to a target. Unfortunately the remote jet injector is short ranged, but it is effective.

Name (PL6-7, although the technology behind the weapon is early-mid PL5)
Damage: Heals 1d4 HP
Critical: n/a
Damage Type: Healing
Range Increment: 20 ft, 5 range increments

Notes: The remote jet injector is not usable in any environment without a gaseous environment. This environment can be nearly any gas, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc. However, if the gases that make up the environment can become explosive if compressed to over 50 PSI, this is highly dangerous as attempting to fire the remote jet injector will cause such gases to explode in the device, dealing 2d4 fire damage to the user and destroying the device and the healing goop.

Spray-Metal PL7
Spray metal is a super epoxy with metal alloys in it that can be used to patch damage to armour, mechs, vehicles and buildings. For small (medium sized) objects can repair up to 4d6, and larger (large sized) objects up to 1d4 x 10 points of damage. Only 3 applications will work on an object, but will not fully repair the object (if the applications would bring the object's HP to max, make it one less than max), as it will still need to be brought in for repairs, although reduce repair DC by 2.

Healing Chalice (PL7)
With advances in nanite technology and medicines, Bio Life created the Healing Chalice, a modern miracle in medical technology many say. The healing chalice looks like a large metal goblet, thick stem and a shallow cavity. A couple of small gem like buttons are on the base. When water is poured into the cavity, then activated by pressing the power gem button, nanites hidden in the chalice begin converting the water into a viscous dark liquid, which takes approximately 2 minutes. The user then drinks this dark sludge, which tastes very similar to maple syrup. 
In 1d4 rounds, the sludge goes to work, healing the user. The user gains the benefits from a medkit (removing dazed, stunned or fatigued conditions, and treats poisons), plus also heals 2d8 hit points. A person can only benefit from a healing chalice 4 times a day.
A healing chalice can only be used a maximum of 6 times a day. It gains power from ambient heat and light. The nanites will have to be replaced after about a year as they break down over time.
PDC for Healing Chalice: 30
Nanite Replacement: 13

Minion-O-Matic (PL8 or supertech in PL6 or 7)

Chuck stops before a large contraction, "Maybe ye need some help with chores, or just want something to boss around. Well, the Minion-O-Matic will get the jobdone, yessirrie!"
Before you is a large device, a large glass tube on the right side, connected to a large base with a part that looks like about three fridges attached together with various hoses and cables connecting to the glass tube and to other parts of the device. One door on the metal casing has "Insert Genetic Sample Here", while a door next to it has "Insert Material Here"painted on them. There are is a small touch screen between the Genetic Sample door and the glass tube.
The Minion-O-Matic is a nearly idiot proof, fairly simple cloning chamber. A personneeds to put a genetic sample into the sample chamber, such as a few pieces ofhair, blood, some skin, or the like. Then put a suitable amount of organic,and/or inorganic material in the material chamber, then set up the basic parameters of the clone using the touch screen, then hit Start, and let the Minion-O-Matic do its thing and create a minion in about a week.
There is a catch with the Minion-O-Matic, as the clone isn't an exact duplicate of the original genetic sample, this was done as a means to prevent people from cloning themselves and having the clone thinking it was the original and start all kinds of lawsuits, or get around laws against cloning as the new creature isn't an exact clone. Also, there are some.. personality quirks that usually appear in minions. Usually these quirks are in the form of silly, comedic antics and shenanigans under default settings. Think the minions from the movie Despicable Me for some basic acts of shenanigans that one will find from a group of minions. Depending on the additions to the basic minion, different quirks will appear. Minions with animalistic additions may take on stereotypical quirks associated with such animals. Minions that are more combat oriented can develop quirks from collecting trophies of their kills, having to kill specific number of foes at a time, needing to waste an extra round of ammo in a dead body to make sure it's dead, to laughing like a little girl while shooting, possessively stroking their weapons and naming them, to playing music while attacking and doing actions to a soundtrack.

On default settings, the Minion-O-Matic will create a humanoid, about 75% the size of the original, with slightly different skin tone, facial and body structure will be similar but will be different from the original. The ability stats of the new creature will be 2 points lower, and start as a level 1 common npc. The screen will display how much material is needed to create the desired minion and a list of basic materials it needs, even sources of where to get them, and it'll do the rest to break down and separate unnecessary material. It takes about 2d4 days to create a medium sized minion.
Due to the fact that the materials needed can be found even in many households. Generally about 75% of the created minion's mass is required in materials.
With farther exploration of the settings and options of the Minion-O-Matic, the user can create some rather unique abilities in their minions, from bio-luminescence, increased mobility, various animal traits (moreaus) with genetic samples and parts mixed into the materials needed, and even imprinting various skills for task specific minions.

Basic instructions for Minions:
Simple humanoid minion, using any of the Low-Level NPCs provided in the d20 Modern book starting at page 271. PDC 31 in materials. This includes the basic skills provided in the NPC stats, however the creation will be shorter than average humans.
All creations have a base PDC of 31, with all other additions added to this.
Example of a minion is a Werewolf with the Aquan gene therapy and a +4 bonus to Str would cost PDC (31 base + 19 template + 25 gene therapy + 17x4 ability score adjustment 4 times) 32
Adding new abilities to minions will cost additional materials which are added to the basic cost of the minion to be created. Basically follow rules for converting all the PDC to cash values, add all the PDCs together then convert back to PDC, rounding up, for final PDC of all necessary materials. Each additional ability added to the minion will increase the time necessary to the time necessary for the minion to be created

Adding Gene Therapy type templates to the minion is PDC X, where X is Fort DC + number of Fort saves needed divided by 5. So adding Aquan is PDC 25 (Fort DC 20 + 5 (25 saves divided by 5). Adding Healer would be PDC 35 (Fort DC 30 + 5 (25 saves divided by 5). Adding Gene Therapy templates increases the creation time by 1 day.
Basic Moreaus, as found on page 247 of d20 Modern manual cost PDC 27 for covert, 29 for modert, and 31 for overt moreaus. Creation time is increased by 1 day for each level of degree of moreau.
Adding Other Templates (can not use templates that are undead or construct in nature) have a PDC of 17 + template's CR adjustment. Increased time is 12 hours times template's CR adjustment. So if a minion was to get the werewolf template, the template would cost PDC 19 (17+ CR of +22), and take 1 extra day (12 x CR of+2).

Adding Special abilities or qualities.
Many abilities can be added to your minions.
+1 to one ability score PDC 17 plus 6 hours
Extraordinary Ability (Ex) PDC 22 plus 1 day
Supernatural Ability (Su) 25 plus 2 days
+1 Increased Natural Armour PDC 18 plus 1 day
Speed Increase PDC 12 for every 5 ft increase plus 12 hours
Extra limbs PDC 19 for an arm or leg plus 2 days
Tail PDC 21 plus 1 day 12 hours
Wings PDC 25 plus 2 days 6 hours
Some rather unique additions to minions have been seen from people tossing in different materials in the mix and unique combinations of options. A few unique additions are provided below.

Metal Natural Armour
Selecting the natural armour increase, while adding metal to the mix of materials used has allowed some minions to be enhanced. Only pure metals, no alloys create the metal natural armour. Alloyed metals can be added to the material chamber, but only the pure metal is extracted and used. The appearance of metal natural armour can be small metallic looking scales to metallic bone plating, similar to insect exoskeletons but not covering the whole body.

Lead will increase the minions weight by 75% and add +4 Natural armour, but decreases speed by 10 ft and decreases Dex by 2, but increase Str by 2, add 10 to HP.Also the minion can be used to block sensors from scanning anything it's holding or standing in front of (imposes a -10 to rolls to scan past the minion). Requires at least 20 lbs of lead. About PDC 21, adds 2 days.

Titanium adds +3 natural armour and DR 3 and fire resistance 3, increasing weight by 10%, add 15 to HP. Requires about 25 to 30 lbs of titanium. Requires 25 lbs of titanium, PDC 31, adding 3 days.
Chromium only add +1 to Natural armour, makes the minion immune to normal fire (fires,explosions and normal heat sources that cause fire damage), and resistant to lasers and plasma weapons. Immunity to normal fires, but gains fire resistance 10 to lasers and plasma weapons. At least 30 lbs are needed, increases minion's weight by 25%. PDC 29, adds 3 days.
Iron adds +5 natural armour, DR 4, increasing weight by 25%, decreases speed by 5 ft and Dex by 1, add 20 to HP. Any natural weapons that the minion possesses have their damage die increased by one type, so d4 to d6, d6 to d8, etc. Requires at least 25 lbs of iron, PDC 25, adds 2 days 12 hours.
Nickel adds only +1 to natural armour, increases weight by 10%. Many people would consider nickel to make a poor armour choice, however when combined with other powers, nickel becomes quite useful. When combined with energy expulsion powers, increase damage by 1 die, and range by 25%. Also minion gains a +2 bonus against being disarmed or being bull rushed/overran while standing on a ferrous floor. Requires at least 25 lbs of nickel, PDC 22, adds 1 day 18 hours.
Copper adds only +1 to natural armour, increases weight by 10%, increases Dex by 2 and energy resistance electricity 5. Decrease Str by 2, and when combined with energy expulsion powers, increase damage by 2 die and range by 25%. If the energy type is electricity range increase is actually 50% and increase die type by 1, so d4 to d6, d6 to d8, etc. PDC is 23, requires at least 40 lbs of copper, adds 2 days.
Mercury doesn't create plating on the minion's body, instead gives it a metallic sheen. Adds +2 to natural armour, increases Dex by 4, but reduce Str by 4, add 5 to HP, and gains immunity to poison, increase weight by 75%. 50 lbs of mercury is required, PDC 30, adding 4 days.

Animal Splices
Throughgen manipulation and DNA splicing, the following alterations can be made to asubject. These alterations have a PDC of 33 and require a skilled doctor withproper facilities. Can also be made available at higher PLs as a temporaryalteration in the form of an injectable retrovirus. If used in theMinion-O-Matic each is considered to be an Extraordinary ability and requiresat least 5 lbs of matter from the related animal.

Heat Blades
With the raise of the popularity of melee weapons, new metallurgy technology has been applied to old style weapons. By using high heat resistant metals combined with ceramics, weapon makers have added heating elements to the blades which increases their damage potential. The other added effect is the blade glows from the heat providing enough light similar to a candle.

Heat Sword (PL5 Simple Weapon Proficiency)
Damage: 1d8 + 2d6 fire
Critical: 19-20 x 2
Damage Type: Slashing plus fire when activated
Range Increment: melee
Size: medium
Magazine: 10 minutes of use
Weight: 4.5 lbs
Purchase DC: 18
Restriction: Restricted (+2)
Special: Takes one round for the elements to heat up to full temperature.

Heat Knife (PL5 Simple Weapon Proficiency)
Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 fire
Critical: 19-20 x 2
Damage Type: Piercing plus fire when activated
Range Increment: melee

Special: Takes one round for the elements to heat up to full temperature.

Entertainer's Heat Blade
One other popular use of heat blades has been in the entertainment industry. By using different types of ceramics and metals used in the blade, and using different levels of heat, and in some cases, coating the blades in different chemicals, they have made the colour the blade glows other than the normal red. Entertainer's heat blades are usually not sharpened for the safety of the user.

The Scottish sword dancer Dawn McClury is one of the most famous entertainers who uses entertainer's heat blade in her routine, as she uses ones that are combat capable. There is an underground pool running as to how badly she will one day hurt herself with her heat blades.

Slammer Hammer

"Dammit man! The alarm's gone off, we don't have time crack the safe's code." Billy whined as the security alarms wailed.
Fixer Joe walks up to the safe bearing a large sledge hammer, "Then we'll crack the safe itself...."

Last bit of conversation recorded by the sensors on the safe door of the TD Bank in Calgary, Alberta before it was destroyed along with half the door to the safe.

With the raise of use of melee weapons in the future, with the return of bladed weapons in the form of vibro blades and beam swords (aka light sabers), it was inevitable that someone found a way to resurrect other weapons.
The Slammer Hammer was one of the first first to see popular use, especially with body guards and thugs where intimidation can help prevent a fight. A large warhammer with a 5 foot handle, although shorter or longer ones are available. The large square tapered head is reinforced and treated to withstand a great deal of heat at it's striking side. This is done because the striking surface has an opening which exposes a shaped charge when loaded for use against armoured foes, like someone in power armour, or for those times you just need to smash in the security doors or when you don't have the time to pick the lock on the safe. The smaller end is designed to be opened to reload the shaped charges, which are primed by a button on the handle.
When a charge is primed, the explosive's contact trigger is exposed from the opening in the striking face and detonates upon contact. It is highly advised that you disengage the primer button before putting the weapon away if you end up not hitting something.

Many thugs love the Slammer Hammer and it is also quite popular for those in the mob as it makes an excellent leg breaker. Some people even refer to the Slammer as 'Safe Crackers', 'Gut busters' and other similar terms.
Damage: 1d10 hammer, 5d6 ignores 5 points of hardness/DR charge
Critical: 20
Damage Type: bludgeon hammer/ explosive
Range Increment: melee
Rate Of Fire: Semi for the explosive charges
Magazine: 5 shaped charges
Size: Large
Weight: 16.5 lbs
Purchase DC: 24
Restriction: Restricted (+2)
Note: Could get away with using only the simple weapons proficiency as it's a large sledge hammer basically, although archaic weapons proficiency would work just as well. Due to it's large and imposing size, the Slammer Hammer grants a +2 bonus to Intimidation checks. 
When the charge is primed, a free action that the player must announce is doing as there is a limited amount of charges held, the damage of the charge is rolled first, then the hammer itself is done to the target.

Ultimax Spear, aka Swiss Army Spear
The Ultimax spear is a tool designed for use on colonial worlds. The Ultimax looks like a normal high frequency spear normally, but with a spear head that measures 18 inches and designed to slash as well as pierce. The shaft does shorten but only enough to allow it to be used in a similar manner as a machete. Inside the shaft is a small first-aid kit, compass, two flares and a stun module to allow the butt be used as a stun baton. Below the spear head, about a point 3 inches down the shaft, when twisted and pulled out, a small lantern is exposed.

Collapsible Spikes
With new breakthroughs in metamaterials and metallurgy, scientists have been able to make materials that can change their shape between program shapes through use of electrical charges. Collapsible spikes is one such application of this technology. At rest, these spikes are large nubs on the device they are put on, usually armours, robots, mecha or defensive positions. When a specific electrical charge is sent through the nub, it expands to its preprogrammed shaped and size as a spike. Size varies by design and size of the device it is installed on. This takes less than a second to happen, making for excellent quick surprise defenses. To retract the spikes, another different electrical charge is sent and they shrink back to their nub size.
Collapsible spikes are not particularly large and designed so as to not impair movement of the device they are put on, so individually they do little damage, but since dozens of spikes can cover the device, the damage adds up.
Medium size (medium sized robots, suits of armour, small vehicles) 1d4 piercing against/during grapples, adds 1d4 piercing damage to unarmed melee attacks, PDC 16
Large size (small mechs of Large size, cars, armour of giant sized lifeforms) 1d6 piercing, PDC 18
Huge size (trucks, huge mecha, etc) 2d4 piercing, PDC 20
Gargantuan size 2d6 piercing, PDC 22
Colossal size 2d8 piercing, PDC 24

Collapsible Blades

Using the same technology of collapsible spikes for mechs and armour, hand held melee weapons are much easier to transport and hide. Consisting of a handle which contains a small battery to provide the charge necessary to expand and collapse the blade at the flick of a switch. As an added bonus, the bottom of the handle contains a flashlight which allows the collapsible blade to be passed off as a flashlight. 
Due to the nature of the technology, each time the blade is extended, the blade's mono molecular edge is renewed and any small nicks and dings are removed. If the blade is broken, the system will not retract until it is replaced with a new blade.
