Shocker Series 2

GE has expanded theShocker series of weapons, although some do not have ranged capabilities as theearlier Shockers, they have other abilities to compensate.

Electro-Tech Hammer
A heavy warhammerenhanced with electrical discharge emitters. Not only does the Electro-Techhammer release electrical energy upon striking a target, it also ionizes thetarget so that any electrical attacks nearby will chain to the affected target,dealing additional damage. The weapon also can emit a low level energy fieldthat protects the wielder from electrical based attacks. Comes with a chargingstation that can recharge the weapon in 2 hour.

Electro-TechHammer (PL6 Archaic/Simple/Exotic Weapons Proficiency)
Damage: 2d10 unpowered +1d6 electricity when powered + StacticCharge
Critical: 20x2
Damage Type: bludgeoning plus electrical
Size: Large
Ammo: 15 minutes ofcontinuous use (150 rds)
Weight: 18lbs
Purchase DC: 23 Mil (+3)
Notes: StaticCharge, Thunder Watch
Static Charge: The target struck has residual ionization from the Electro-TechHammer's strike, and any electrical based attacks within 30 feet of theaffected target will chain a bolt of electricity to the target dealing 1d4electrical damage. Static Charge lasts for 1d4+1 rounds, unless the target isstruck by an EMP, or is degaussed. Each successful powered attack from theElectro-Tech hammer causes Static Charge to trigger, dealing its damage, plusextend the duration by 1 round.
Thunder Watch: Theweapon can, as a standard action, emit a low level energy field that grants thewielder Electricity Resistance 5. Every round the field is operating drains 1round of power, and can operate at the same time as the weapon head is powered.

Voltage Crash
This is an opengauntlet, covering only the knuckles, back of hand and going back along the armto the band that holds it to the arm near the elbow. The whole weapon is wellarmoured and insulated, allowing the wielder to deal improved damage with theirunarmed strikes, plus discharge an electrical charge. The part along the backof the arm can expand to act as a small shield and generate a low levelparticle field that disrupts energy weapons targeting the wielder.

Voltage Crash (PL6Simple Weapon Proficiency)
Damage: 1d4 + 1d6powered
Critical: 20x2
Damage Type: Bludgeoning + electricity
Size: Small
Weight: 5 lbs
Ammo: 15 minutes ofcontinuous use (150 rds)

GEWS6021A2 TeslaSpark

As GE experimentsmore with energy weapons, they've expanded their Shocker series of meleeweapons and ranged weapons. The Tesla Spark is a weapon that fits between theStinger and Stopper heavy ion pistols, with better range, but average damage,includes a stun module, and a sweeper mode. In addition to these features, thedischarge from the Tesla Spark leaves a residual ionization on the target thatattracts arcs of electricity from nearby electrical attacks to the targetstruck, dealing farther damage.

Magus Facio Burninator
TheBurninator is a fairly basic pump action shotgun offered by Magus Facio.Reinforced construction allows it to use dragon breath rounds without making itunreliable, supports the 3 inch 12 gauge rounds makes it fairly flexible. A fewrunes are carved into the solid wood stock, with a small fire opal mounted atthe front of the pump/ammunition tube. What makes the Burninator favoured iswhen you move the safety switch to 'Burninate' and pull the trigger, a gout ofmagical flame shoots from the opal. Although it can only be used 5 times a day,it is a far cheaper alternative to buying and switching to dragon breath roundsconstantly.

Forbiddance System


*Bang*"Ow!"
"Carefulwith that. We can't have these parts damaged before we finish installingthem." Magus-Engineer Thomas warned the mechanic helping him.
"So..What's this thing supposed to do anyway?" The mechanic asked as he openedthe crate.
"Thisis a Forbiddance System."
"Forbiddance?Forbid what?"
Magus-EngineerThomas grunted a little as he tightened some bolts. "Vampires of course.See, vampires can't enter a home unless asked in. But places like mostbusinesses, libraries, and of course, hospitals like this one, are wide open tothem. So this device basically attempts the same thing for the building it'sinstalled in. Without these protecting our hospitals, these places are just onebig cornucopia, or buffet for those blood suckers."
"Doesit really work?"
"Usually.Although old vampires are a bit too powerful for the basic system. That's whythese things also have a few other features. Although you need a priest on handto make the most use of these."
"Oh..That would explain why we had to make one of the rooms nearby into abedroom."

TheForbiddance System is a huge breakthrough in magical research that combinesarcane, divine and technology into a very effective defensive system againstthe vampire hordes. The device looks like a large metal box with several glasscanisters, tubing and metal wiring with a fairly simple chair attached to thecontraption. In various spots there are several precious stones imbedded withgold and silver wiring and inlays running from the stone's mounting to varioustubes or canisters or the chair. Carved into the sides and various tubes are acombination of arcane runes and several passages from the Black Sea Scrolls andprayers. Also installed in important areas, such as back up generator rooms,main entrances to large patient areas and sometimes at main entrances aremountings that hold one diamond plus four smaller rubies surrounding thediamond.
TheForbiddance System must be installed in the top level of the building it isinstalled in. Once installed, the system provides a continuous modified MagicCircle (Evil) effect. Each morning a divine spell caster, or even just a priestor other member of the church such as bishops or cardinals, must sit in thechair and recite a specific passage from the Dead Sea Scrolls and one from thebible, which are also carved onto the device to renew the magic circle effect.If a member of the church, such as a priest, sits in the chair and has theneedle and tube put into his arm, by trained medical staff, allowing hisblood to flow into a small canister beside the chair, which then flows into themain device, then back into the priest (the blood is ran through a filter sothat it is not contaminated before returning to the priest), the priest canmake use of several other effects. If an acolyte or other more powerful divinespell caster is used instead, the effects are more powerful.
Whiledconnected to the system in this manner, the user is aware of any undead orcreatures with the evil allegiance within the building and up to 50 ft outsidethe protected building. They are also aware of any people they know that are inthe protected building.
Throughthe diamond and ruby mountings the user can cast Searing Light at any targets,or if the user is a divine spell caster, can cast their spells through thesemountings, allowing them to attack any evil that try to get in or are runningthroughout the building.
GameNotes:
Acontinuous modified version of Magic Circle (Evil) is surrounding the building.Everyone inside the protected building gains a +2 bonus to saves againstabilities against evil creatures, such as a vampire's dominance gaze. Secondcreatures with the Evil allegiance can not enter the protected building unlessthey make a successful Will save DC 19. If a divine spell caster is hooked intothe device, add their Wisdom modifier to the DC for the Will save. This effectlasts for 10 minutes and covers the whole building.

When apriest or divine spell caster is hooked into the device the following spellscan be cast as a 6th level caster:
Mass curelight wounds to everyone on a single floor 5 times per day.

Createwater up to 6 gallons 10 times a day.

Delaypoison on everyone on a specific floor 4 times a day.

Clean oneverything in a single room, instead of a single target 3 times a day.

HaltUndead like the arcane version, but only on any undead, up to 3 that manage toget past the Magic Circle (Evil), must make a Will save DC 19. Unintelligentundead make no save, but vampires and other intelligent undead do. Haltedundead are immobile for 6 rounds or if they are attacked or take damage.

SearingLight can be casted up to 3 times a day at any location where a diamond andruby mounting is located. Deals 3d8 to any target hit, while undead take 6d6points of damage, and undead creatures particularly vulnerable to sunlight,such as vampires, take 6d8 points of damage.

When adivine spell caster is hooked in, they add their Wis modifier to the listed DCsfor saves. Also the divine spell caster may use their spell slots to cast moreof the effects using their own caster level for the extra castings of theeffects if it is higher than 6th. Also, divine spell casters may cast their ownspells through the device, although any spells they have prepared that have atarget of a single creature, or a group, must be done so near one of thediamond/ruby mountings.

Duringextended battles where one user has used up all their divine spells, if theyare capable of them, trained medical staff can switch one user for another onewithin two minutes. When they disconnect one user, some of their blood is leftin one of the containers to provide some power for the system, allowingthem to hook up another user. After they put the needle in the new user, theyswitch the blood flow to a new container and remove the one with blood so thatit may be cleaned.
After 10minutes of use, the user is fatigued. After 20 minutes they are exhausted.After 20 minutes, the user must make a Fort save DC 15 every 5 minutes +1 per 5minutes past 25 minutes or take 1d3 points of temporary Con damage.

PDC 41 foran average sized 5 story building. +5 DC for every 5 extra stories or 25%increase in size. If the building is oddly shaped, like an L, two devices mustbe installed, and two priests or divine spell casters used for using theabilities in both areas. Takes about 1 year to make a Forbiddance System, ofwhich many arcane and divine rituals must be preformed at specific points inconstruction. Each piece must be painstakingly handcrafted and precise or elsethe whole system will not work. A dud Forbiddance System can still fetch aprice as a collector's item if any are found before being destroyed to preventcapture by vampire forces. A captured unit could probably fetch a PDC 55 rewardfrom vampire forces for a damaged one. A completely intact unit could fetch farmore.

Magus Facio Firecracker

Anotherpopular release from Magus Facio is the Firecracker. A well crafted, balancedbullpup rifle chambered in the NPS's standard 8mm rifle rounds to makelogistics simple. Although not particularly powerful, the firecracker isenchanted so that up to 3 times a day, it can enchant any ammunition in it'smagazine with the Flaming Projectiles spell, turning normal bullets intoflaming bullets for enhanced damage. As a side effect of the enchantment, whenthe weapon is fired, the rounds sound like firecrackers being fired, especiallywhen on autofire. Also when the projectiles hit, there is a small splash offlames, although the splashing flames don't damage anything, they do make itvery spectacular to watch.

Damage:2d10
Critical:20
DamageType: Ballistic
RangeIncrement: 80 ft.
Rate ofFire: S, A
Size: Large
Weight: 13lbs
Ammo: 25box
Purchase:28 Res (+2)
Game Notes: Masterworked +1 weapon, adds +1 to attack rolls. Up to3 times per day, the user can activate the Flaming Projectiles spell bytwisting a small imbedded ruby set near the safety, which enchants all the ammoin the loaded magazine for about an hour, or until they are used, adding 1d6fire damage. Due to the added noise of the rounds when they are enchanted, theyreduce the Listen DC to notice the weapon being fired by -2. Also the enchantedrounds act as tracers, or mini flares, illuminating their path as they travelwith a 10 ft radius until they strike their target, where the splash of fireilluminates a 20 ft area for a few seconds (just the round they were fired in).

Magical Gear

What happens if youhave magic in your future campaigns? A society that has progressed passed themedieval age type of government to democracy or other forms, advancing intechnology, industrializing magic?
How do you go about creating magic items for such a society?
Well here's a few thoughts I had.
"Common" or simple magical items and spells can replace modernequivalents, only with a more magical flare to them. For instance, flashlightsare now a tube or some other item with light cast upon it. Toolkits are a fewitems in a box that casts the spell Repair, or a hand held wand like devicethat casts Unseen Servant with ranks in Repair, Craft: Mechanical orElectronics. Firearms are shaped similar to future variants, but are anevolution to wands, using a universal magical power source that are like apower pack, which provides the power to the weapon. The weapon would have anevoke chamber which is programmed with the particular spell that deals damage,or particular effect, which projects the spells effect.
More powerful items and spells can be incorporated as well, like sensor systemswould make use of divination spells, arcane eye and the like.
The cost of such items would be reduced as well. After converting any goldprice (from sources of items such as DMG) to PDC, reduce it by 2 or 3, for morecommon types of devices, bringing them closer to technological equivalents.More uncommon items, such as weapons, reduce the PDC by 1 or 2. This is due tothe mass production of such items, making them cheaper. Magical items wouldn'tneed to be mastercrafted to be enchanted, as the process of enchanting themwould be far more streamlined and simplified.

Many magical items would have many technological features, allowing those whoare not spellcasters to make use of the item.
For example, the magical equivalent of a flashlight. It would be something assimple as a tube with a crystal at one end, and a button on top. The button ispressed and the light is turned on. Inside this tube would be a power source, acrystal that contains raw magical power, connected to a power transformer (thisis used more in devices that create a specific type of energy, such as magicalfirearms), then connected to an evoke chamber which has a programmed spell init, which then when the button is pressed, activates and releases the spell. Inthis case, the light spell, which draws power from the power source until it isturned off again, or is drained.

Such magical items would be created in factories, much like those we havetoday, where individual components can be made there, or brought in from otherfactories. People, or animated objects, or even golems would assemble thecomponents into the finished pieces. The evoke chambers and their programmingwould most likely be built and programmed in factories designed just forcreating and programming them. These facilities would most likely employspellcasters, with ones using low level spells could employ low levelcasters. These spell casters wouldoperate devices that can cast the spells necessary, or just provide the energyneeded for the spells, as long as the caster can cast the spell. For those thatdon't know the spell, the spell would most likely be provided with theequipment, similar to a scroll, but not erased from the source. This wouldallow the caster to cast the spell repeatedly, programming multiple evokechambers in a day, just like a machine operator building parts of anengine.

The power sources would most likely be crystals, which could be placed in aprotective shell much like batteries and power packs. These would be chargedwith magical energy from large magical sources, such as a power planet designedto provide magical energy. Such places would most likely have portals or someother means of collecting energy from a plane of energy, such as the Plane ofPositive Energy, or the Elemental Plane of Fire, or locations with strong sourcesof magical energy.

With magic as an available option to how things are done, things like powergeneration could be even more powerful, or perhaps even smaller and simpler.For example, power generating stations. Instead of huge nuclear power stations,a smaller facility could provide the same amount of power. Instead of a nuclearpower plant, magic can be used instead. A simple means would be a portal to alocation such as a volcano, which allows lava to flow into a tank of water,which creates steam, which then goes into a turbine, which powers generatorsthat create electrical energy. Wind power could be more viable as many windmilltype devices could be built into a valley and a portal to the Elemental Planeof Air opened, or a magical device that creates wind, or even just redirects itright into the valley, and can be directed by users as they wish. Greater powerdemand, just increase the wind as necessary, or lower when not as much power isneeded.
Instead of internal combustion engines, magical energy to animate the vehicleslightly, or a piece of elemental fire, or something similar to a continualflame provides the power necessary to move thevehicle.

Technological devices could be enhanced with magical abilities, either throughnormal enchanting methods, but done cheaper from such a society, or through theaddition of evoke chambers and the necessary components necessary.

For things that require a caster level, such as Spell Resistance or Dispelling,the minimal caster level is used at -1 due to the mass production. For someitems, just handwave some stuff to make easier. Like most magical firearms aremore designed for combat and penetrating spell resistance, most weapons wouldhave a caster level of 4 or 5 as many of the spells are Level 1 to3.

Example magical fire arm
Blaster
Blasters are force weapons that are fairly common and cheap. As a force weaponit can damage both animate and inanimate objects, and can affect incorporealcreatures. The blaster emits a bright muzzle flash with a loud squealingretort. A bright pulse of light then streaks to the target and bursts withshattering impact and a spray of object shards, smoke, and sparks. Someblasters also have the ability to knock back opponents. Blasters use a modifiedversion of the classic magic missile spell.

Underbarrel Fireball Attachment
This is a magical device that provides the benefits of a grenade launcher, butuses the spell fireball instead. As it uses a more powerful spell and is anattachment, it has a more limited payload than a dedicated weapon. Theattachment looks a little similar to current underbarrel attachments, but issmaller and instead of an open barrel, it has a ruby-like crystal at the end,and a small magical power pack fits into the back of it. When activated, thelauncher fires a small red glowing ball, about the size of an acorn, whichexplodes upon contact.

ZenithAnalyzer

The Zenith Analyzer is a magical portable sensory unit. It looks like a largeset of digital binoculars combined with night vision type gear. On the side isa set of buttons, with two D-pad joysticks, one on each side. Its basicfunctions as a set of digital binoculars, plus with the casting of darkvisionwith the press of a button, allows their use at night, usable up to a maximumof 5 hours per day. Also installed is a digital recorder that can record up to5 hours of video or thousands of still pictures. An additional ability wasadded to make the zenith even more useful is the ability to cast arcane eye,for allowing remote viewing. The two D-pad joysticks are used to control themovement and direction of the remote eye, for up to 5 minutes of use at a time.The eye can used about 5 times a day, and drains the power pack of 2 minutesworth of power. The digital recorder can be used with the arcane eye, making ita great tool in scouting or for rescue operations.

Munder weapons use a modified version of the mage hand spell to fire anon-magical projectile, although magical projectiles can easily be used. Theadvantage of this is the projectiles aren't subjected to spell resistance, andcan make use of specialty rounds. Some non-magic users like using the munder asit is fairly silent, and doesn't leave any normal evidence, except for the usedround itself, as there is no residual magnetic traces, as from a railgun orcoilguns, nor chemicals from weapons that use such propellants. Most mundersuse a projectile about the size of a 5.56mm round, although the barrels havespace for up to a .50 cal projectile. This allows them to launch specialmunitions, including possibly mini grenades, syringes, short steel rods, andprojectiles made of non-metallic origins, such as wood, orjade.

ProgrammableWands
With magic becoming more prolific, but with many still not trained in its fulluse, some mages got together with engineers and began designing a way to makewands cheaper, allowing many, with the funds, to have magic available option.
The wands themselves are usually metal, or extremely strong plastic, tubesabout 6 or 8 inches in length. At one end is a fitting for three gemstones,usually a diamond, emerald and ruby, worth about PDC 11 to 13 each. Gold andsilver wiring wraps around each gem and disappears into the tube's insidesbehind the fitting. On the top is a push button and a slide lock to preventaccidental pressing of the button from activating the wand. Behind the buttonis a small diamond set flush with the surface of the tube. At the other end isa flip cover to a memory card slot. The memory card requires enough memory forthe spell, which is 100 mb per level of spell, plus 500 mb for miscellaneousfiles and programs for interfacing with the wand. The wands can only use spellsof up to 3rd level.
The wand contains 50 charges, and when activated, by pushing the button andaiming the wand at the target, the spell activates, using up 1 charge per spelllevel. The charges can be recharged by any mage by channelling spell energyinto the wand, by the mage holding the wand, with thumb covering the diamondthat is behind the trigger button. Each spell level channeled into the wandrecharges that many charges. Switching out memory cards, provided the user hasanother one in an easily accessible pocket is a move equivalent action toremove and replace with a different card.
Weight: 1.5 lbs
PDC: 21
Craft: Use similar rules as crafting a wand, using same feats, such as CraftWand or Craft Wonderous Item, able to cast at least level 2 spells, and expand100 experience points, at least 3 ranks in Craft: Mechanical.

The spells that can be loaded onto a memory card can be any spell usually foundin wands, usually offensive or defensive spells, and use of the Scribe Scrollfeat to scribe the spell into a special program on a computer. Techno mages cando this as a class feature. All normal costs for scribing scrolls must be paid,just like scribing a normal scroll.

There are some versions of the programmable wand that can hold multiple spellsinstead of the normal one spell. These versions will have a small display,similar to an ipod, or other small digital music device, two buttons forscrolling up or down through the list of spells, and a select button. Thememory card must be big enough to contain all of the spells to be uploaded.These wands can still only use spells of only up to 3rd level.
Weight: 1.5 lbs
PDC: 22
To craft the multi spell wands, is just like crafting a programmable wand, onlyalso require 3 ranks in Craft: Electrical, and the expenditure of 200experience points.
