PERSONAL BATTLECOMP (PL 5)

The HUD is a very useful item that allows instant access to all sorts of data, but the data needs to be sorted and then displayed to it. So the PBC was invented to do this function.

It comes in two main type and several sub-types.
Pack (PL 5)
Type/ Purchase DC/ Inputs Allowed/ Law Level
Basic 19 2 0
Improved 21 3 0
Good 24 4 Lic (+1)
Mil Specs 30 6 Mil (+3)

Gauntlet (PL 6)
Type/ Purchase DC/ Inputs Allowed/ Law Level
Basic 21 3 0
Improved 23 4 0
Good 26 5 Mil (+3)
Mil Specs 32 7 Mil (+3)

The pack one is stored within the back pack or similar carrying device, it requires a small keypad to be accessible for any referencing to the OBC
The gauntlet is worn on the fore arm of the creatures. It has a small flexible LCD screen and key pad.

As technology increases so does the PBC’s abilities and thus it is allowed 1 extra input per PL above 5.
An input is any other device such as a weapon, sensor, data communications via radio etc.
They can be used to link sensors like motion detectors to armatures to have a remotely activated gun system.

IFF
Interrogate Friend or Foe

This gadget is used to stop friendly vehicles from firing on one another during combat.

The code is set by the user and they can take 10 on their computer use skill check to encrypt this signal to stop enemies from using it.

The code can be cracked with a successful computer skill check and that code entered into the vehicles OBC.

The non-firing can be over ridden by a manual control or by a remote signal to enable the vehicle to fire on that vehicle.
