102 // 3. Classes // Samurai Samurai are trained soldiers, bodyguards and assassins produced and contracted out by Bushido, a subsidiary company of Ronin International, the world’s largest private mercenary company. They are trained in melee weapons, unarmed combat, and pistol use. Samurai are highly prized by the rich business class as bodyguards as their training not only emphasizes combat and alertness, but also an ethic of duty being the highest priority. To die while completing your contract is the highest honor a samurai can achieve in life. Unlike the traditional samurai of ancient Japan, modern samurai come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Another difference is that samurai are bound to serve their employer only by contract. The contract may be 1 day, 1 job, 1 year, or a lifetime. Though duty is the core ethic of their training, it is not unusual for a samurai to only pay lip service to this or have a unique interpretation of duty. Samurai are the most specific of the starting classes. While the other classes allow for a variety of character concepts, samurai all have at least one thing in common: their specific training. While their race, nationality, and personal history can vary, all samurai have gone through Bushido’s training program and emerged as a focused and disciplined fighter. Class Features As a samurai, you get the following class features. Hit Points Hit Dice: 1d10 per samurai level Hit Points at 1st Level: 16 + your Constitution modifier Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d10 (or 7) + your Constitution modifier per samurai level after 1st Proficiencies Armor: Light armor, medium armor Weapons: Simple weapons, martial melee weapons Saving Throws: Strength, Dexterity Skills: Choose three from Acrobatics, Athletics, Drive, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Perception, Social Science, Streetwise, and Stealth Equipment In addition to the equipment granted by your background, you start with either シ7,000 or the following equipment: • 9mm, 10mm, or 11mm handgun • Gangster pack or merc pack • Reinforced clothing • シ5,000 Genomes Classes Goods and Services Upgrades Daemons Brave New World NPCs Appendices Intro Character Creation Completing Contracts Combat Hacking Ability Scores

Ki Starting at 1st level, your training allows you to harness the ki energy, which you can view as mystical energy, or simply extra effort, depending on your worldview. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. Your samurai level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Ki column of the Samurai table. You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You start knowing three such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class. When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points. Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature’s effects.

You can call in a favor to clean up a bloody scene, dispose of a body or vehicle, or any other cover up that needs doing. The time it takes for the clean up to take place is determined by the GM. Disable Vehicle Prerequisite: Level 9 As an action, you can get law enforcement agencies to remotely shut down a target’s vehicle, making it pull over to the side of the road. The effect takes place at the start of the following round. You must have the vehicle’s license plate or have it in line of sight to use this ability. Extraction Vehicle As an action, you can contact your people to arrange a nearby autonomous car, boat, or airbus to pop by and pick you up in a jiffy. If you happen to be in an area where a vehicle can’t reach you (like inside a building), it waits in the street (or water body), by the nearest exit. If you are in an area with a high frequency of the type of vehicle you are arranging for extraction, it arrives in 2d10 rounds. Otherwise, the GM determines when it arrives. The vehicle is a “burner”, and after dropping you off at your desired destination, it can’t easily be traced back to you, presumably being chopped up and reconstituted into other vehicles. Your suit level determines the types of extraction vehicle that you may select from. • Level 1-5: Basic sedan, motor boat • Level 6-13: Luxury sedan/truck, personal helicopter, sports boat • Level 14-20: Air-bus, mini-sub, sports car You may make a successful Charisma ability check where applicable to use extraction vehicle as though you were 5 levels higher. Guest Pass You can call in a favor to get into places that you wouldn’t normally be allowed. After contacting your patron, they can arrange for the proper clearance required within mere moments. Your suit level determines how secure a location you can get access to, and at the GM’s discretion, the visit will be supervised. lic records or even in private databases like AFIS, DMV, police DNA databanks, etc. Your patron automatically succeeds at an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your target, but you need some way to identify your target to provide the basis for the search, such as a photograph, fingerprint, DNA sample, name, address, etc. The GM determines exactly what information can be found out, but it can be quite extensive, including present and past addresses, phone number, criminal records, health records, employment past and present, family, education, social media presence, etc. The information can arrive instantly, or it can take up to an hour to be retrieved at the GM’s discretion. Bodyguard Prerequisite: Level 3 Your patron sends you a bodyguard to protect you, one of their important assets. As an action, you can send a simple text for some muscle that will fight for you in the next combat. The bodyguard can be an NPC of your choice with a CR up to ⅓ of your suit level (round down), (see Chapter 12). Roll initiative for your bodyguard, which has their own turns. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you). The bodyguard will stick around until the completion of your next encounter, or for 6 hours, whatever comes first. When the protection arrives is up to the Gamemaster. Drone Snipe Prerequisite: Level 8 As an action, you order a drone to take a shot at a specified target. The drone snipe makes an attack roll with a bonus equal to your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier. If it hits, it does 1d10 piercing damage for every suit level, and it is armor-piercing. This ability can only be activated if you are outdoors, know where your target is, and your target is visible from a bird’s eye view. Drone Strike Prerequisite: Level 8 As an action, you order a drone to strafe an area with a hail of gunfire. The drone strike does 1d10 piercing damage for every two suit levels, or half as much damage on a successful Dexterity saving throw. The save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier. It affects everything in a 6-meter-radius sphere centered on a point of your choosing. This ability can only be activated if your targets are outdoors and have line of sight on your target area.

// GeneFunk 2090 // 111 Resources You can contact your power network for financial support. You put out the call, and the cash appears in your account, no questions asked. To use this ability, you must make a Charisma (Persuasion) ability check towards your patron, and the money obtained equals your suit level x the result of your ability check x 100. For example, a 5th level suit that scored a 24 on their Charisma (Persuasion) ability check would get シ12,000 (5 x 24 x 100). Safe House Your power network hooks you up with a safe house that is off the map and unknown to almost anyone. It could be an apartment, cabin, abandoned house, or some other accommodation; your GM decides the specifics as long as it only provides basic amenities. It isn’t glitzy, but it enough to get a good night sleep. It is stocked with enough food and water for 5 people to live for 1 week. While hiding in this space, any attempts to track you or your allies there suffer are made at disadvantage. Tail Prerequisite: Level 2 Your power network hooks you up with an investigator to follow a person you are interested in. As an action, you can send a simple text to recruit an investigator’s help, who will follow your target of choice and report back with any information they find. The investigator is an NPC with a CR equal to one half of your suit level, and the GM has their statistics. They will follow the target for up to 24 hours, after which time you must use another favor to keep them tailing the target. Inspiration You can inspire others through stirring words or leadership. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one person other than yourself within 12 meters of you who can hear you. That person gains one Inspiration die, a d6. Once within the next 10 minutes, the person can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The person can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Inspiration die, but must decide before the GM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A person can have only one Inspiration die at a time. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest. • Level 1-5: A business after-hours, concerts, onto a sold-out plane, or private clubs. • Level 6-13: Morgues, crime scenes, backstage at concerts, research facilities, restricted areas in prisons or hospitals, other people’s budget hotel rooms or apartments when they are out. • Level 14-20: Pretty much anywhere, as long as it is a place where someone has clearance, and it’s not a privately-owned place. You may make a successful Charisma ability check where applicable to use guest pass as though you were 5 levels higher. Harassment Prerequisite: Level 5 You can arrange for a target to be inconveniently stopped by police, security, or some other enforcement body with institutional power. As an action, you can send a simple text to arrange this harassment, though the effect occurs 2d10 minutes after you arrange it. The target can be on foot, or in a vehicle when harassed. This essentially stops the target in their tracks and ties them up for 3d10 minutes. If the target happens to be involved in something illegal at the time (like carrying banned weapons, blood-stained clothing, or driving a stolen car), then the harassment is especially effective, possibly outright putting the target under arrest. Legal Aid This favor allows you to get yourself out of a sticky situation with the law. The severity of the situation you can escape from depends on your suit level. The aid can occur at the level of an arresting officer who is told by your patron not to pursue it, or even in the courtroom. • Level 1-5: Misdemeanors like drugs, traffic tickets, simple assault, or minor theft. • Level 6-10: Felonies like possession of a banned firearm, theft, aggravated assault, manslaughter. • Level 11-15: Major felonies like stolen cars, major arson, bank robberies, murders. • Level 16-20: Mass murders, major thefts or incredible property damage. You may make a successful Charisma ability check on the applicable law enforcement agent to use legal aid as though you were 5 levels higher.

112 // 3. Classes // Upgrade You acquire an upgrade from chapter 5: Upgrades. You gain these upgrades through very powerful people, so you can get upgrades that are restricted or banned. • 5th level: You may select an upgrade worth up to シ 25,000 • 11th level: You may select an upgrade worth up to シ 100,000 • 14th level: You may select an upgrade worth up to シ 200,000 • 18th level: You may select any upgrade Additionally, at level 11, 14, and 18, you can replace one of the upgrades that you already have with another that you could acquire at that level (it doesn’t cost an additional upgrade to do this). In other words, you can trade a cheaper upgrade for a more expensive one. This can only be used to replace cyberware upgrades you have acquired with this class feature, not those purchased with シ. As with any upgrade, you must be in an appropriate facility, and it takes 24 hours to install a particular upgrade, which results in one level of exhaustion until you take a long rest. Extra Attack You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Expertise Choose two of your proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. Weapon Master You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose a Fighting Style below. You can’t take the same Fighting Style option more than once, even if you get to choose again. • Marksman: You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons. • Pistoleer: you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with firearms that have the “close” property. Contagious Moxy When you reach 7th level, your Moxy ability also applies to every ally within 3 meters of you. At 18th level, it applies to every ally within 6 meters. Your Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level. Moxy Starting at 2nd level, your confidence, competitive drive, ambition, and unwillingness to fail is apparent. Whenever you must make a saving throw, you gain a bonus to the saving throw equal to your Charisma modifier (with a minimum bonus of +1). You must be conscious for this feature to be active. Sneak Attack Beginning at 2nd level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one person you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or ranged weapon. You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 1.5 meters of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll. The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Suit table. Career Path At 3rd level, you choose a career that reflects the type of patron you have. Your Career Path choice grants you features at 3rd level and then again at 6th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level. See the end of this class section for details on the individual paths. Contact Starting at 3rd level, you gain a contact of any type you can imagine, as suits make connections with all walks of life to further their goals. You get an additional contact at level 6, 9, 15, and 18. Ability Score Improvement When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above your maximum using this feature. Promotion Achieving 5th level represents another step up in your hierarchy, and you acquire special training or cybernetic upgrades to reflect this. Choose one of the promotion abilities from the following list. You gain an additional promotion at level 11, 14, and 18.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

// GeneFunk 2090 // 117 This chapter deals with some of the equipment and services that a character might want to procure to aid in their adventures. Almost every commodity imaginable is available through ordering and drone delivery, legal or illegal. The list of equipment provided is only a small fraction of what is on the market and is meant to be a guideline for the power level of the technology of 2090. If a player wants to buy something that is not listed in the book, GMs are encouraged to create the rules for it, decide how potent it will be based on the items listed in this chapter, and determine how available it is. Remember, if your player wants something, even if it sounds ridiculous, the odds are thousands or millions of others want it as well, and the free market has taken care of every niche for something to sell. Money In order to buy any of the wonderful equipment listed in this chapter, you actually need the cash to buy it. While almost all of the world’s countries have their own currencies, bitcoin (B) is the currency that most of the world agrees upon as a global standard. However, one single bitcoin is worth so much that transactions are usually measured in satoshi (シ), or 1/100,000,000 of a bitcoin. For instance, buying a meal might cost シ10, while buying a new car might cost シ30,000. Only the most lavish of mansions would approach the value of a single bitcoin. The price of all of the equipment in this chapter is measured in satoshi (シ). Bitcoin Conversions Denomination Bitcoin (B) Bit (μB) Satoshi (シ) Bitcoin (B) 1 1,000,000 100,000,000 Bit (μB) 0.000001 1 100 Satoshi (シ) 0.00000001 0.01 1 Characters earn satoshi during the course of a game session and by completing contracts (see Acquiring Money below). Acquiring Money Characters can acquire money in one of three ways: completing contracts, obtaining it during gameplay, or through features granted to them by their genome, class, or feats. Contract Completion When cadres complete contracts, they are paid the negotiated amount. Contracts can range from thousands to millions of satoshi, depending on the cadre’s Mosaic score, and the negotiation of the contract (see Chapter 8: Completing Contracts). Session Hustle During the course of a gaming session, your cadre is likely to come across some cash in the form of goods you can sell, or “appropriated” funds from your enemies. Add this to the bank! Money Generating Feature Several classes, genomes, feats, and hacks can also grant extra funds each session. For example, suits have the Call in a Favor feature that can be used to get financial resources, and codehackers have the skim hack. Chapter 4: Goods and Services Drone Delivery If you happen to be in a city, equipment can be purchased on-the-go, with extremely efficient delivery. You can be on a stake-out in a downtown subway station and decide you need some bolt cutters, and after a quick online purchase the bolt cutters will be delivered to you by a whirring aerial drone in under an hour. If the local laws allow for it, even firearms and ammunition can be delivered this way! As long as the item you are purchasing is in a warehouse somewhere reasonably close, drone delivery can get it to you incredibly quickly, to almost any public space. Larger items are delivered via driverless wheeled drones. The GM determines the exact time it takes for an item to arrive, and drone delivery doesn’t operate nearly as well if you are in a hard to get to area, or far away from where the item is being delivered. Below are guidelines for drone delivery in a megacity. Item Availability Delivery Time Very Common 1d20 minutes Common 5d10 minutes Uncommon 1d4 hours Rare 1d20 hours

118 // 4. Goods and Services // Equipment Regulations Some equipment and cyberware are deemed too dangerous for public consumption, at least without regulation. Laws regarding enhancements vary from country to country, but you can use the following as a rough guide for regulations. Generally, the more dangerous something is, the more regulations it has. For instance, a machine gun will be banned pretty much everywhere, while a pistol might only be restricted. The GM is the one who decides which category a particular item falls under, depending on where your cadre is. • None. These items are freely available, without any restriction • Monitored. Records are kept in government databases about where, when, and for whom these enhancements were performed. • Restricted. Some form of registration and licensing is required for these, which are relatively easy to obtain, as long as you don’t have a criminal record. At the Gamemaster’s discretion, there may be a price for this license, up to 10% of the enhancement cost. • Banned. Banned equipment is reserved for the military or other state entities and cannot be obtained by private citizens under normal circumstances, though they enjoy a high demand on the black market. At the Gamemaster’s discretion, these items can cost up to 50% more than the listed price if obtained through the black market. Starting Equipment When you create your character, you receive equipment based on a combination of your class, background, and genome or feat. Before the first game session, during character creation, you can spend the money granted by all of these features. After spending this starting money on your desired equipment, you retain any money that you don’t spend. You decide how your character came by this starting equipment. It might have been an inheritance or goods that the character purchased during their upbringing. You might have been equipped with a weapon, armor, and a backpack as part of military service. You might even have stolen your gear. Equipment Starting at Higher Levels Some games will start at higher levels. If this is the case, your character has already acquired some gear and upgrades earlier in their career. To reflect this, use the table below to determine a character’s starting money. The cash can be spent prior to the first gaming session. Cash Starting at Higher Levels Level Starting Cash 2 シ25,000 3 シ50,000 4 シ100,000 5 シ150,000 6 シ225,000 7 シ300,000 8 シ400,000 9 シ500,000 10 シ650,000 11 シ800,000 12 シ1,000,000 13 シ1,200,000 14 シ1,500,000 15 シ1,800,000 16 シ2,200,000 17 シ2,500,000 18 シ3,000,000 19 シ3,500,000 20 シ4,000,000 Armor With all the big nasty guns and such out there, the need for armor is paramount for those who live dangerous lifestyles or want to ease their paranoia. The quality of armor available in the world of GeneFunk 2090 has vastly increased compared to previous decades. Material that is protection against small arms fire has become nearly as light and comfortable as regular clothing, and military-grade heavy armor can make its wearer a walking tank. Of course, quality armor can be extremely expensive and for the heavier types, conspicuous a well. The Armor table collects the most commonly available types of armor found in the game and separates them into three categories: light armor, medium armor, and heavy armor. The Armor table shows the cost, mass, and other properties of the common types of armor used in the world of 2090. Armor Proficiency Anyone can put on a suit of armor, but only those proficient in the armor’s use know how to wear it effectively. Your class gives you proficiency with certain types of armor. If you wear armor that you lack proficiency with, you have disadvantage on any ability check, saving throw, or attack roll that involves Strength or Dexterity.

// GeneFunk 2090 // 119 Armor Class (AC) Armor protects its wearer from attacks. The armor you wear determines your base Armor Class. Damage Reduction (DR) If attacks do get through your armor, the armor can lessen the damage taken by slowing down or partially cushioning the blow. Damage Reduction applies to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. Conspicuous Walking around in medium and heavy armor attracts attention; it lets people know that potential violence is in the air and heads start to turn. In warzones, this is par for the course and expected, but in an urban nightclub or while riding a taxi, things can get weird. Antagonists are alerted. If members of the cadre are spotted wearing combat armor, potential antagonists are alerted through their information networks. This means enemies gear up with armor-piercing or HEAP ammunition, their own armor, they call in extra muscle or hackers to bypass armor, or whatever else the GM feels is appropriate. Police get suspicious. Likewise, being spotted in combat armor makes characters more likely to have altercations with law enforcement. It isn’t illegal to wear in almost any country, but it tends to get you pulled over and questioned more frequently, which can lead to the discovery of things the cadre has that are illegal. Can blow cover. If the cadre is undercover or maintaining a low profile, being spotted in combat armor may put an extra layer of scrutiny on them. Covering Armor. Medium armor can be concealed with heavy clothing like trench coats, and requires a DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check to spot. Heavy armor is obvious cannot be concealed. Strength Heavier armor interferes with the wearer’s ability to move quickly and freely. If the Armor table shows “Str 13” or “Str 15” in the Strength column for an armor type, the armor reduces the wearer’s speed by 3 meters unless the wearer has a Strength score equal to or higher than the listed score. Stealth If the Armor table shows “Disadvantage” in the Stealth column, the wearer has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. Light Armor Light armor is supple, flexible, and feels and looks the same as regular clothing, only it’s more durable. It often comes as suits, trench coats, or leather jacket and pants. It’s the protection of choice for people looking to maintain maximum mobility or hide the fact that they are battle-ready. If you wear light armor, you add your entire Dexterity modifier to the base number from the armor when determining your Armor Class. Armor Vest.

Heavy armor covers your entire body with thick reinforced fabric and heavy plates, providing protection against almost all small arms fire. Heavy armor doesn’t allow you to add your Dexterity modifier to your Armor Class, but it also doesn’t penalize you for having a negative Dexterity modifier. Artemis Battle Suit. The Artemis Corporation uses the best available materials and manufacturing techniques to produce this marvel of engineering. It is only used by the wealthiest of armies or other equally well-financed groups for their elite heavy infantry. Most of the wearer’s body is covered by high-density nanotube plating, with only the joints and rotation points of the body being protected with the less sturdy but more flexible nanofiber weave. This armor's appearance is not unlike a futuristic version of medieval full plate. The heavy layering of plates is limiting to the wearer’s movement, but that is the price to pay for being a walking tank. Atomos Battle Suit. While being second to the Artemis line of heavy battle armor, Atomos is still a topnotch brand, and their battle suit is still an elite piece of manufacturing that is only available to well-funded consumers. Anyone rich or lucky enough to have a set is pretty much immune to small arms fire. Ballistic Plate Suit. This economy generic heavy armor is composed of interlinked hard plates.

They are second only to Atomos in the quality of their work. SharkSkin Vest. The best protective vest money can buy, stylish and light-weight carbon nanofiber torso protection. Medium Armor Medium armor is explicitly for combat and offers higher protection than light armor at the expense of mobility and subtlety. It includes the majority of armor worn by the world’s military forces. Medium armor typically consists of a blend of reinforced fabrics, an armored vest, and headgear. It is obvious to anyone that you are wearing medium armor unless it is covered by a thick outer layer of clothing, like a trench coat. Spotting it under a trench coat requires a DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check. Instead of adding your entire Dexterity modifier to the base number from the armor when determining your Armor Class, you only add up to +3 or +4 of it, as listed on the Armor table.

122 // 4. Goods and Services // Cloak. Your armor surface receives light from its environment and then transmits it in a fashion that mimics nothing being in the way of the light at all. The effect is perfect camouflage, rendering you invisible. The cloak has no effect on anything outside of the armor (such as weapons), which must be stowed inside the armor, or be upgraded with their own cloak. Electric Discharge, Basic. If someone makes a melee attack against you or physically grabs you, you can use your reaction to discharge a large dose of electricity into their body. They must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, they take 5d8 electrical damage, or half as much damage on a successful one. Your shocking field must recharge (through your movement) after using it, and you must wait 1 hour before using this ability again. Electric Discharge, Premium. This functions exactly as the basic version, only it does 6d10 electrical damage. Electrical Insulation. Fibers that insulate you from electricity give you resistance to electrical damage while wearing this armor. Exoskeleton, Light. A powered exoskeleton is built into armor that has incredible strength. While wearing this armor, your Strength score changes to a 22. If your Strength is already equal to or greater than 22, the powered exoskeleton has no effect on you. Exoskeleton, Heavy. This even more powerful exoskeleton follows the same rules as the light one but grants a Strength score of 28. If you chose armor to obtain an upgrade for your armor, refer to the Armor Upgrade table for details about the various upgrades you can purchase. Some upgrades require larger armor, as indicated on the prerequisite column. If medium armor is a prerequisite, the upgrade cannot be added to light armor. Only heavy armor can have an upgrade with the heavy armor prerequisite. Upgrades with no prerequisite can even be added to regular clothing. Artificial Muscles. These form-fitting fabrics can be designed to act in tandem with the existing musculature of the wearer, effectively boosting the wearer’s strength. Autonomous Environment. The armor is completely sealed from the outside environment. Air filters protect the wearer from disease, heavily polluted air, or tear gas. The skin is likewise protected by a selectively permeable nanofiber. Wearers are immune to any effects from breathable or contact poison (but can still be poisoned by injections and other means). The filters also act as “gills” in water and extract breathable oxygen, allowing you to breathe underwater. Chromomorphic. This armor is capable of changing colors and patterns to any specifications, even transparency. The main reason for this technology is for aesthetic or style, but the transparency is also useful if you happen to have the Crpytek Cloakers upgrade, so the armor doesn’t get in the way of invisibility. The desired color pattern instantly shifts according to the intention of the wearer.

// GeneFunk 2090 // 123 Weapon Proficiency Your background, class, and feats can grant you proficiency with certain weapons or categories of weapons. The two categories are simple and martial. Most people can use simple weapons with proficiency. These weapons include clubs, knives, handguns, and other weapons often found in the hands of regular citizens. Martial weapons, including assault rifles, nanoswords, and grenade launchers, require more specialized training to use effectively. Proficiency with a weapon allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with that weapon. If you make an attack roll using a weapon with which you lack proficiency, you do not add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll. Weapon Damage The type of damage a weapon inflicts is abbreviated on the tables in the damage columns. • B – bludgeoning • C – cold • E – electrical • H – heat • P – piercing • Po – poison • S – slashing Weapon Properties Many weapons have special properties related to their use, as shown in the Weapons table. Armor-piercing. Weapons with this property are able to cut through armor like butter. When you make a damage roll using a weapon with armor-piercing, the target only gets to apply half of their damage reduction (round down). Auto. In addition to regular single-shot attacks, a weapon that has the auto property can make three different special attacks, which involve holding down the trigger for fully automatic fire. The auto feature can only be used once per turn. • Concentrated Burst. You rain a hail of bullets down, making up to 10 attack rolls against the same target. These attacks end when you miss with one of the attack rolls, forgoing the rest of the attack rolls. Each attack after the first adds 4 recoil. This action uses ten rounds of ammunition. • Suppressing Fire. You can shoot an empty area in a line up to your firearm’s maximum range. Until the start of your next turn, anyone entering that line or starting their turn there must succeed on Hyper Jumping. Through specialized alloys and plastics, this armor upgrade allows you to leap great distances, tripling the distance you can jump. Additionally, these fibers absorb shock from falling, allowing you to fall 9 meters (instead of 3) without taking damage. This upgrade doesn’t stack with any other ability that increases your jumping distance. Mechanical Capacitor. The fabric of the armor stores mechanical energy generated from the wearer’s regular movements. This energy may then be released in an explosive kinetic burst, manifesting either as an extremely high jump or a powerful strike such as a kick, punch, or other melee attack. As a free action, you can decide to use this before making a melee attack roll or making a jump. If you use it on a melee attack roll, the damage of the attack’s damage roll is increased by 2d10. If you use it on a jump, it multiplies the amount of distance you can jump by 6. This upgrade doesn’t stack with any other ability that increases your jumping distance. Your mechanical capacitor must recharge (through your movement) after using it, and you must wait 1 hour before using this ability again. Medicomp. Can store up to a total of 20 doses of drugs (see the Drugs section). One dose of any of these drugs can be released into your body and activated as a bonus action. Speed Upgrade, Basic. A powered exoskeleton does the running for you, increasing your speed to 12 meters. If your speed is already equal to or greater than 12 meters, the speed upgrade has no effect on you. Speed Upgrade, Premium. Functions as the basic version but it increases your speed to 15 meters. Speed Upgrade, Ultimate. Functions as the basic version but it increases your speed to 18 meters. Thermal Insulation. Thermally resistant materials insulate the wearer from temperature changes, providing resistance to heat and cold damage. Weapons Your class grants proficiency in certain weapons, reflecting both the class’s focus and the tools you are most likely to use. Whether you favor a handgun or a nanosword, your weapon and your ability to wield it effectively can mean the difference between life and death. The different weapons tables show the most common weapons used in GeneFunk 2090, their price and mass, the damage they deal when they hit, and any special properties they possess. Every weapon is classified as either melee or ranged. A melee weapon is used to attack a target within 1.5 meters of you: whereas, a ranged weapon is used to attack a target at a distance.

124 // 4. Goods and Services // character must then reload it using an action or a bonus action (the character’s choice). You can use a weapon that has the reload property to make a ranged attack only if you have ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one round of ammunition. Using the ammunition is part of the attack. Recoil. Each point of recoil results in a -1 penalty to your attack rolls. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, use the recoil from the firearm you are attacking with. Recoil does not stack between attacks, except for as noted in the Auto property. Recoil can be reduced in the following ways: • Strength. Your Strength modifier is subtracted from the firearm’s recoil, but a negative Strength modifier is treated as a 0. • Two hands. Using a one-handed weapon with two hands reduces the recoil by 2. • Prone. Being prone reduces recoil by 2 • Bipod. Being prone while using a bipod reduces recoil by 4 • Weapon Mount. Using a large tripod or vehicle mount completely eliminates recoil Shotgun. A weapon with the shotgun property has a -2 penalty to damage if shooting at long range due to the scatter-shot, but doesn’t suffer from the usual disadvantage penalty. If the target is within 10 meters, damage is increased by +2. If any non-regular type of ammunition is used (such as armor-piercing or explosive), then the ammunition is a slug, not a scatter-shot, and the above mechanic doesn’t apply. Silenced. The sound produced from a silenced weapon can only be detected by people with a 15 passive Wisdom (Perception) score (modified by distance, walls, etc.). Special. A weapon with the special property has unusual rules governing its use, explained in the weapon’s description. Thrown. If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. Two-Handed. This weapon requires two hands when you attack with it. Versatile. This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property, and indicates the damage dealt when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack. a Dexterity saving throw with a DC = to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier, or take the weapon’s normal damage. This action uses 20 rounds of ammunition. • Three-Shot Burst. You fire a 3-shot burst from your weapon, making up to 3 attack rolls against the same target. These attacks end when you miss with one of the attack rolls, forgoing the rest of the attack rolls. Each attack after the first adds 4 recoil. This action uses three rounds of ammunition. • Wide Burst. You can spray a 3-meter-cube area within normal range with shots. Each person in the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw with a DC = to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier, or take the weapon’s normal damage. This action uses 10 rounds of ammunition. Close. Ranged attacks made with this weapon don’t suffer from disadvantage due to an adjacent enemy. Finesse. When making an attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls. Hard-Knuckle. A weapon with this property reinforces your fists with weight and strength, increasing the damage of your unarmed strikes by +2. Light. A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two weapons. Mount. These powerful and heavy weapons must be used with a while prone using a bipod, or standing but using a tripod, vehicle mount or building mount. Any attempts to use them under different conditions results in a -10 on the attack roll. Quick. You can use a bonus action to make an attack with this weapon. Rapid Fire. A weapon with rapid fire shoots out projectiles at incredible speed. It allows the auto feature to be used twice in a single turn, as long as the attacker has another feature that allows them to make an additional attack. Range. A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range in parentheses after the thrown property, or listed on the Firearms table. The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon’s normal range in meters, and the second indicates the weapon’s long range. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can’t attack a target beyond the weapon’s long range. Reload. A limited number of shots can be made with a weapon that has the reload property, listed by the number in parentheses after the reload property.

As a result of this new niche, R&D fueled massive innovations in small arms and personal defense. Premium weapons are niche products for discerning consumers, with the lifestyle and cash to warrant paying top dollar. They are nanoengineered, and made from expensive materials to give them an edge on more widely produced weapons.

As an action, you can launch a 6-meter line of fire that is 1.5 meters A Note on Big Guns and Armor While it might seem likes it’s always a good idea to be carrying around laser cannons and powered armor, characters should be wary! Often, a contract calls for pistols, knives, and fists more than it calls for bazookas. They lack subtlety. If the characters are investigating something, the last thing they want is everyone in the neighborhood on high-alert due to the cadre armed to the teeth that has been going around asking questions. A group of people in military grade equipment tends to arouse a great deal of suspicion and elicits investigation into whomever is toting that gear. It’s a good way to lose the element of surprise. They are often illegal. As noted above, military grade weapons are often highly regulated or even banned. The last thing a cadre wants is the local law enforcement breathing down their neck. The arms race. If they have the means, nothing gets potential enemies motivated to gear up in military equipment like seeing a heavily armed cadre looking for them. For example, a crime lord might hire another heavily armed mercenary group if he hears word that people with heavy armor and assault rifles have been looking for him.

132 // 4. Goods and Services // Explosive Effects Explosives can have any of the following effects, regardless of detonation type, and their costs are listed on the Explosives table. Concussion. Concussive force radiates outward in 3-meter radius sphere centered on the point of the detonation. Everyone within the blast must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 bludgeoning damage and becoming stunned until the end of their next turn on a failed save, or half as much damage and no stun effect on a successful one. EMP. The detonation creates a burst of electromagnetic radiation in a 3-meter radius. All electronics must make a DC 15 saving throw. On a failed save, the electronics stop working until they are repaired. Repairing electronics damaged by an EMP blast requires a DC 10 Intelligence (Mechanics) ability check and 10 minutes. Things affected include cars, elevators, computers (including daemons), etc. The saving throw bonus the device gets depends on the amount of insulation they have from the blast, and high-quality electronics have Faraday shielding, which can provide from a +5 to +15 bonus to this saving throw (see Faraday shielding in the gear section). Daemons have a +5 bonus to this saving throw, and if they fail, they can make the saving throw at the end of each turn as they attempt to self-repair. Flashbang. The detonation produces an ultra-bright blinding flash of light and an intensely loud “bang”. Everyone within 3-meter radius sphere centered on the point of the detonation must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, people become blind, deaf, and are stunned until the end of their next turn. ZQ Wolverine 5.56mm. The light assault rifle is another favorite of elite militaries around the world, being more effective than most due to its high-quality materials and nano-engineering. Explosives These devices detonate given certain conditions and can produce a variety of effects, usually involving an explosion of some type. Detonation The detonation type is fixed at the time of purchase, and the types of detonation are described below. • Grenades. Grenades are explosives that detonate on impact, or seconds after pulling the pin. As an action, a character can throw a grenade at a point up to 15 meters away. With a grenade launcher, the character can propel the grenade up to 40 meters away. The detonation is at the point the grenade lands. • Mines. These explosives are triggered by either a tripwire or a pressure plate. The detonation point is in the square the mine is placed in. The base Wisdom (Perception) DC to spot a mine is 10. A mine can be camouflaged and hidden, increasing the DC to spot the mine to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. • Timer. A set time limit, which you can determine when you set the explosive as an action, will determine when the explosive detonates. The timer can be set to mere seconds, or even days. • Special. Certain other detonators and hacks can create specialized conditions under which the explosive detonates, such as facial recognition, DNA analysis, etc. See the specialty detonator hack for more information.

On a failed save, they are restrained as long as they remain in the goo or until they break free Someone restrained by the goo can use their action to make another DC 15 Strength saving throw. If they succeed, they are longer restrained. Sting. Tiny hard rubber balls fly outward in 6-meter radius sphere centered on the point of the detonation. Everything within the blast must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, creatures stop running any hacks or upgrades that require concentration, and have disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls until the end of their next turn. Tear Gas. The explosive creates a fog of noxious and irritating gas that burns the eyes and lungs of those inside. The explosive creates a 6-meter-radius sphere of tear gas centered on the point of detonation. The fog spreads around corners. It lasts for 6 minutes, Fragmentation. Shrapnel flies outward in 6-meter radius sphere centered on the point of the detonation. Everything within the blast must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d6 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Incendiary. A swirling shower of white-hot phosphorus embers appears in a 6-meter-radius sphere centered on the point of detonation. The shower spreads around corners and is heavily obscured, lasting for the 3 rounds. Everything within the fiery shower must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d6 heat damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. People must also make this saving throw when they enter the area for the first time on a turn or ends their turn there. Any combustible material catches fire at the GM’s discretion. Knockout. This device emits a 4-meter-radius sphere of anesthetic gas centered on the point of detonation. It lasts for 3 rounds or until strong wind disperses it. When someone enters the gas for the first time on a turn or starts their turn there, they must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. They fall unconscious on a failed save. An unconscious person wakes up in 10 rounds, or if they take damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake. Poison. This explosive creates a 6-meter-radius sphere of poisonous fog centered on the point of detonation. The fog spreads around corners. It lasts for 10 rounds, or until strong wind disperses it. Its area is heavily obscured. When someone enters the fog for the first time on a turn or starts their turn there, they must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw.

The fog moves 3 meters away from you at the start of each of your turns, rolling along the surface of the ground. The vapors, being heavier than air, sink to the lowest level of the land, even pouring down openings. Shaped Charge. This explosive detonates in a particular direction, doing more damage to a more focused area. Shrapnel explodes outward from the explosive in a 2-meter cone centered on the point of the detonation (the direction of the cone is determined by the detonation device, often directed upward). Everything within the blast must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 7d10 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one Smoke. One round after a smoke grenade lands, it emits a cloud of smoke that creates a heavily obscured area in a 6-meter radius. The smoke lasts for 6 rounds. Rules Variant: Grenade Accuracy To be consistent with other 5e games, area effect mechanics typically allow you to perfectly target the point of impact. However, if you want to introduce a touch more realism and drama to grenade accuracy, use the rules below. Make a 1d10 roll. On a roll of a roll of a 5 or a 6, the grenade lands where you intend it to. If the d10 rolls a 1-4 or a 7-10, it lands in an off-target square, as shown below, with the top row being north. Engineers and anyone with martial ranged weapon proficiency can add or subtract up to 2 from their roll. 1 2 3 4 5-6 7 8 9 10

This device appears to be a large briefcase but inside are a variety of counter-surveillance measures. It automatically detects the presence of wireless transmitters, amplified microphones, and other comparable electronic devices that may be hidden in walls, ceiling, chairs, briefcases, conference tables, plants, etc., even when those are not in operation. The kit locates any wireless transmissions occurring in the area. It can then block the selected wireless frequencies in a 5-meter radius around the kit, or enable the user to manually find the bug and dispose of it. Ball Bearings. As an action, you can spill these tiny metal balls from their pouch to cover a level, square area that is 2 meters on a side. A person moving across the covered area must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. A person moving through the area at half speed doesn’t need to make the save. Binoculars. They can zoom in up to 1.5 kilometers away. In addition to this basic function, all of the exor until strong wind disperses it. Its area is heavily obscured. When someone enters the fog for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, they must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw.

It is cosmetically available as earpieces, headbands, hats, and other headgear. Breathing Mask. This plastic helmet and mask covers the entire head and provides breathable air for 30 minutes. In addition, by filtering air, the mask also protects your eyes and lungs from some harmful gases, such as tear gas, even when the air supply has run out, making you immune to these effects. The air comes from a pop-can sized tank. Extra tanks are often carried, costing シ50 each. For twice the cost, the breathing mask’s filters have an additional selectively permeable membrane. The filters act as “gills” in water and extract breathable oxygen for the wearer up to a depth of 15 meters. Bug Detector. This wand can be waved around the room to help search for wireless recording devices by

For the most expensive shielding, it costs 1/2 more money than a device would normally cost to “harden” it. It is often used to protect computers, cars, and other expensive equipment, especially in the military. It provides a +15 bonus to the item’s saving throw against electromagnetic radiation. A cheaper shielding costs 1/4 more money than the item’s original cost, and provides a +10 bonus. The cheapest shielding gives a +5 bonus and only costs 1/10 the original items cost. First Aid Kit. This kit includes bandages, adrenalin, painkillers, coagulants and other useful materials. The kit has ten uses. As an action, you can expend one use of the kit to stabilize someone who has 0 hit points, without needing to make an Intelligence (Life Science) check. Flashlight. They come in various sizes and power. Pocket-sized flashlights illuminate up to 5 meters, the forearm sized ones illuminate up to 10 meters, and the larger spotlight style illuminate up to 15 meters. In addition to the handheld lights, head or weapon-mounted lights are available. Forensic Field Kit. This is a standard field kit for many law enforcement agencies. This kit includes fingerprint tape, various chemicals that detect blood, semen, or gunshot residue, small brushes, UV lamp, magnetic and fluorescent powders as well as various other small tools to help with investigation. This kit provides the character the ability to detect blood, bodily fluids, GSR and fingerprints, and might give making audible or visual signals when it approaches such a device. It provides advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) rolls made to look for these devices. Caltrops. As an action, you can spread a single bag of caltrops to cover a 1-meter-square area. Anything that enters the area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or stop moving and take 1 piercing damage. Until the person regains at least 1 hit point, its walking speed is reduced by 3 meters. Someone moving through the area at half speed doesn’t need to make the saving throw. Climbing Gear. A climber’s kit includes special pitons, boot tips, gloves, rappelling gear, and a harness. You can use the climber’s kit as an action to anchor yourself; when you do, you can’t fall more than 8 meters from the point where you anchored yourself, and you can’t climb more than 8 meters away from that point without undoing the anchor. Cloaking Coating. You can coat other gear with a surface receives light from their environment and then transmits it in a fashion that mimics nothing being in the way of the light at all. The effect is perfect camouflage, rendering you Invisible. The cloak has no effect on anything outside of the coated gear. You can deactivate the cloaked gear wirelessly by using the Interact with Object action. Collapsible Ladder. This 4-meter ladder can be easily carried in a standard backpack or sports bag, taking up no more room than a few sets of clothes. With relative ease, the collapsed ladder can reach its full stature. It takes a full turn to assemble the ladder. Crowbar. Using a crowbar grants advantage to Strength checks where the crowbar’s leverage can be applied. Disguise Kit. This case contains everything someone needs to look like someone they are not, such as skin pigments, hair dyes, prosthetics, and hair. You can use Charisma (Deception) or (Performance) to impersonate people or mask your identity using this kit. Distance Microphone. These recording devices are for listening to events from afar, targeting a 5-meter radius area to listen to. Long-range recorders come in two types: shotgun and parabolic. The shotgun recorder is shaped like a long-barrelled pistol and can record clearly at distances up to 100 meters. The parabolic recorder is larger, utilizing a ½ meter reflective dish attached to a handgrip. It can achieve up to a 300-meter range. Faraday Shielding.

// GeneFunk 2090 // 137 are attracted to surfaces by an intermolecular force known as “van der Waals force”. You gain a climbing speed equal to your regular speed. Additionally, you can climb sheer surfaces without requiring a Strength (Athletics) check. Goggles. There are many different types of goggles, the most common being merely for protection. All goggles protect against eye-damaging gases and bright flashes, rendering you immune to the blinding effects of these weapons. Many kinds of vision technologies can be incorporated into the goggles. • Dark. You can see normally in darkness up to a range of 36 meters. • Macroscopic. The goggles function as binoculars Macroscopic goggles can zoom in to a distance of 1.5 kilometers. This ability can be activated or deactivated as an action. The exact distance of viewed objects is displayed in meters in the goggles display. Obviously, the character should only activate this ability when conventional vision isn’t needed. • Penetration. Penetration vision is the fabled “x-ray vision” out of comic book myth. Using radar principles and various low-frequency energies such as Trays, infrareds, ultrasounds and microwaves the goggles internal microcomputer produces a single coherent image feed for the character. You can clearly see through smoke, clothes, flesh and even walls up to a range of 30 meters. Penetration vision even cancels all bonuses given to characters using high tech camouflage such as Cryptek Cloakers and other obfuscation equipment or genetic enhancements. It is disorientating to use penetration vision and find the right wavelengths to see through the object you want to. You suffer disadvantage on attack rolls and Dexterity ability checks. In addition, they can only move at 1/2 their normal Speed. This ability can be activated or deactivated as an action. • Spectrum. Your vision is greatly enhanced by both increasing the intensity of visible light received and making use of non-visible lights and other energies such as infrared, ultraviolet, sound, and microwaves. The goggle’s microprocessor triangulates all the data from these receptions into a single coherent image feed. This ability can be activated or deactivated by using an action. You treat lightly obscured areas as completely visible, and heavily obscured areas as lightly obscured. You can see people and things that are invisible (people using cloakers for instance). advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks at the GM’s discretion. Forensic Scanner. This relatively recent technology was first used by forensic investigators at crime scenes but it has since become more available to the public. It can pick up and record the chemical composition and amount of everything in an area up to a cubic meter or as fine as a cubic centimeter. This includes solids, liquids, and gases. It is so finely tuned it can even pick out and sequence individual DNA samples if any are present. If the proper authority is possessed (or the proper hacking skills) it can identify the person the DNA belongs to by checking government databases. Freezing Spray. This liquid nitrogen spray jets out much more than just a standard wart remover, and can make breaking padlocks, doorknobs, or other materials much more brittle, allowing them to be broken with a hammer. If used as a weapon, it can inflict 1d6 cold damage on one target with 1.5 meters (Dexterity saving throw for half damage). Frictionless Spray. This spray-can resembles a household cleaner or spray paint, but it contains a liquid lubricant that generates very little friction. If used to escape bonds (like handcuffs or ropes) it provides a +10 bonus to Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks made to escape bonds. If sprayed on the body, the person gains a +10 bonus to escape grabs. As an action it can be sprayed on the ground, covering a 1-meter area. Anyone passing over that area must make a DC 14 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check or they fall prone to the ground and take 1d4 damage from the fall. Getting up requires an additional DC 14 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check, failure results in falling prone and taking the damage again. If it is sprayed on an incline, it is impossible to climb the incline. The spray may also be used on an enemy’s hands. They must make a DC 10 Dexterity save or they drop their weapon. They must make this save at the start of each of their turns until they wash the frictionless polymer off their hands (which takes 1 action). Each can contains 10 uses. This chemical is often regulated or even banned in many countries. Gadget Hack Kit. This kit contains dozens of different stem nanobots, batteries, chemical solutions, and other consumable materials required to run gadget hacks. Each kit contains 20 uses worth of reagents before running out. Gecko Gear. This recently-marketed climbing gear utilizes the same method of surface adhesion that geckos use to climb walls. Gloves, knee pads, footgear and lengths of fabric along the forearms and shins are lined with artificial setae, micro-hairs that

138 // 4. Goods and Services // Handcuffs. These tools are still commonplace and used by law enforcement officials as well as other consumers interested in bondage. If the hands are bound behind the back of the subject then their hands are near useless. To escape from a standard pair of handcuffs requires a successful DC 30 Strength or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. Someone else can free a bonded individual with the keys, or by making a successful DC 20 Intelligence (Mechanics) check. Handcuffs have DR of 10 and 15 hit points. Extra security handcuffs can be purchased for 10 times the price to add an extra 5 to the DC of the Ability checks required to be free and 5 DR. Hypospray. This small gun-shaped device has largely replaced hypodermic needles and despite the many different brand names, the “hypospray” name first coined in sci-fi literature seemed to stick the most. It can send drugs into a person’s muscles or circulatory system. The ultra-strong monomolecular tip of the hypospray gets through almost any material, allowing it to affect targets wearing heavy armor. Unless it is used with an injection hack or you have the hypospray warrior feat, it can only be used on a willing subject or a subject that is otherwise helpless, immobilized, or unaware. Jammer. Jammers paralyze wireless communications, such as cellular frequencies, radio signals, television signals, and wireless internet connection. The jammer can be set to block all, or some of these frequencies. Smaller jammers can be purchased normally but larger jammers are typically regulated and monitored (or even banned). • Mini. This jammer is wallet-sized and can easily fit in a pocket. When turned on it is able to jam wireless communications up to a 4-meter radius. • Low Power. Low power jammers are often used in office meetings, churches or other places where silence or discretion are required. It is roughly the size of a hardcover book and can fit in most handbags or briefcases. It can jam wireless communications up to a 10-meter radius. • Medium Power. These devices are large briefcase-sized boxes that can jam an entire building. They are portable but conspicuous. They can jam wireless communications up to a 30-meter radius. • High Power. These jammers are used for military installations or other complexes with multiple buildings (or one very tall building). They utilize a masted omnidirectional antenna and can jam a 1 km radius. Without the antenna, it can only jam a 100-meter radius. GPS Tracker. This dime-sized device is used to track the location of someone and is accurate within a 2-meter radius. It is often placed on an unwitting person to track their movements. It has an adhesive coating on one side and can easily be attached to any surface. The Wisdom (Perception) DC to spot the device is 18 if it’s in a visible location, or a DC 20 Intelligence (Investigation) roll if someone is searching for one. Grappling Hook. When attached to a rope, it can be thrown and secured to most protrusions, such as rooftops, walls, and balcony or window ledges. A grappling hook may be thrown vertically 5 meters, +1 additional meters for every point of Strength modifier. Grapnel Launcher. This forearm sized launcher is aimed like a gun and can propel a grappling hook up to 30 meters. It is also fitted with a motor capable of hoisting 200 kilograms 2 meters every 6 seconds (1 turn). Equipment Packs The starting equipment you get from your class includes a collection of useful gear, put together in a backpack or duffle bag. The contents of these packs are listed here. If you are buying your starting equipment, you can purchase a pack for the price shown, which might be cheaper than buying the items individually. Biohacker’s Pack (シ2,600). Includes a backpack or duffle bag, 2 doses of angel, 2 doses of nanodoc, 2 doses of nootro, 2 doses of perk, biohacking kit, breathing mask, first aid kit, flashlight, forensic field kit, goggles, and a hypospray. Gangster’s Pack (シ1,400). Includes a backpack or duffle bag, drugs (hype x2, nanodoc x2, wrath x2), bolt cutters, crowbar, freezing spray, and handcuffs. Merc’s Pack (シ1,300). Includes a backpack or duffle bag, binoculars, breathing mask, caltrops, climbing gear, drugs (nanodoc x2), grappling hook, crowbar, flashlight, first aid kit, handcuffs, mini breather, and spike strip Spy’s Pack (シ4,000).

// GeneFunk 2090 // 139 Silencer. Silencers are attached to guns in order to muffle the sound of the weapons discharges. The sound produced from a silenced weapon can only be detected by people with a 15 Passive Wisdom (Perception) score (modified by distance, walls, etc.). Sleeping Bag. It’s a nice cozy and insulated place to sleep when one lacks a tent. For 5 times the cost it can have state of the art thermal insulation to keep the user warm in even the harshest winter conditions, including a breath friendly pull-down cover for the head. Spike Strip. This device is designed to help the police end car chases. The strip comes rolled in a spool about the size of a small suitcase. Deploy it by rolling it across a roadway, where it lies like a flat, segmented belt. (The user can roll it out onto the road without entering the lane of traffic). Until the strip is activated, the spikes do not protrude, and cars can pass safely over it. When the user manually or wirelessly activates it, the spikes extend. Wheeled vehicles passing over the strip suffer punctured tires, making them move at half speed until the tires are repaired. Tent. A tent keeps a character warm and dry in severe weather, providing shelter. Wall Microphone. This device, the size of a wallet, can be attached to any surface up to 50 cm thick and hear what is going on the other side of the surface (usually a wall). This is most often used to eavesdrop on conversations in a neighboring room or inside a building from the outside. Wingsuit. Your falling speed drops to 36 meters each round. Your speed while gliding is 18 meters. You still need a parachute to drop safely for the final 50 meters, or you take falling damage as per usual. Changing directions by 45 degrees requires a DC 15 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. Services While the gear section describes some of the items that are used as tools to help the character, this section describes special services they may require. Much of the value of a commodity comes from the labor involved in making it, likewise, the various services that characters often require have costs. These range from mundane things such as getting a haircut to more exotic things like a virtual afterlife. Of course, there is a multitude of services that are not mentioned here, but this should be a rough guide to the standard prices. Ambulance. Even mercenaries sometimes have to call the paramedics! While in a city, an ambulance arLock Picks. A set of tools to pick mechanical locks, but they can’t be used to unlock electrical locks. Mechanics Tool Kit. This box of tools contains the basics needed for repairing electrical or mechanical equipment, such as a tape, hammer, pliers, a mini torch and various other tools. This kit also allows you to pick both electrical and mechanical locks. Metal Detector. This 1.5 meter long device can automatically detect metals that it passes over. Micro-Drone. These drones are “bugs”, taken to the next level. They are either genetically engineered organisms with an implant, or robots that look and emulate the actions insects and arachnids. They roughly follow a simple direction such as “follow person X”, or “stay and watch this room”. They can record 30 hours of footage before running out of memory. Upon finishing recording they return to a predetermined area (or before finishing if directed to). They can also be directed to transmit a live feed, but this can be more easily detected. Flies are a very common model for the done, since these organisms can be found almost anywhere. Mini-Breather. This apparatus fits over the mouth and nose, providing 10 minutes of breathable air to the wearer. The air comes from a beverage-sized canister, and extra canisters cost シ50. Parachute Set. A parachute is made from thin, lightweight fabric, support tapes, and suspension lines. It negates all falling damage that would normally occur to someone falling. To work successfully it should be deployed at least 50 meters above the ground, however even if it is deployed after this, it halves falling damage. Rope. Ropes come in various materials, the cheapest being nylon, while the most expensive is Spyder Sylk. Spyder Sylk costs 10 times as much but it’s also a tenth of the standard weight. Rope has 2 hit points and can be burst with a DC 17 Strength check. Scuba Gear. Scuba (self-contained breathing apparatus) gear includes an air tank, buoyancy control device, flippers, wet/dry suit, snorkel, mask, and rebreather. Full tanks allow the wearer of the gear to stay underwater for up to 4 hours. In addition, the wearer gains a +5 bonus to swim related Strength (Athletics) checks. For twice the cost the scuba gear’s filters have an additional selectively permeable membrane. The filters act as “gills” in water and extract breathable oxygen for the wearer down to a 15-meter depth.

Though prices vary by destination and season, it is generally around シ50 for every 1 hour of flight time. Transhuman Body Conversion. Transhuman body conversions replace your original flesh, bone, and even parts of your brain biosynthetic, plastic, and metal analogues. Your new body can look any way you desire, allowing for any sex, size, or shape the human body can come in, including aesthetically strange choices. After the transition, your personality and mental life may change as described under the transhuman genome description. Transhuman body conversion uses the following rules: • All features granted by your original genome are removed. This includes ability score modifications, genetic enhancements, skill proficiencies and bonuses, feats, and any other genome feature. Your genome changes to transhuman, and you gain all of the features of this genome instead, including completely revising your ability scores (see Chapter 2: Genomes). • All permanent injuries are removed. • Unlike selecting the transhuman genome during character creation, you may spend additional satoshi to upgrade ability scores beyond spending the base シ400,000 when you first transition to your transhuman body. Your new body is made at this time, and you cannot buy higher ability scores afterwards, unless it is through upgrades (see Chapter 5: Upgrades). • You may have all of your existing upgrades transferred over to your new transhuman body at no extra cost, applying any of the relevant bonuses and features. • You retain all class features and levels (unless you are the unmodified – veteran genome, in which case you will subtract one level due to losing your genome features). • The Ability Score Increase feature granted to you by your class can be reapplied to the same abilities (or feats) that you originally chose. Hospital. While in a hospital you are treated for any diseases, poisons, or other damage you have. Each day you spend in the hospital costs from シ500-5,000 a day, depending on the quality of the facilities. Any condition you suffer from involving diseases, poisons, or serious trauma can be resolved in just a day or two. rives in 1d6 minutes after being called, usually by an airbus. They won’t enter an area while combat is occurring, and will likely leave if bullets start flying. They will treat any injured people present with restorative drugs, and/or a +5 Intelligence (Life Science) ability check, though the drugs are added to the シ500 base cost. Auto Repair. Even in regular life car accidents are relatively common. In the course of a story, if the character owns a car it is likely that it may get damaged at some point. Auto repair is required to restore the car’s lost hit points. The cost includes both the cost for the professional service and the parts. Every 1 hit point of damage repaired costs シ100 and requires 1 hour at a mechanic shop. Bodyguard. Unlike other professional labor, there is an implicit acknowledgment of danger on the part of the bodyguard. They are expected to increase your safety at the expense of their own. This added danger increases the cost to employ them and cost also varies based on the skill of the bodyguard. Joe Schmoe with a firearms certificate may come cheap but an elite samurai costs a fortune. Ronin International has thousands of bodyguards that can be leased out hourly, or by a monthly contract. The hourly price of a bodyguard is the bodyguard’s CR x シ200. The monthly salary of a bodyguard is the bodyguard’s CR x シ20,000. Of course, these prices assume no extra level of danger (for example, if the character wanted to employ the bodyguard while going into a combat zone, or under death threats from an international crime syndicate, the price may increase by up to ten times). Car Rental. If your character cannot afford a car, or is in a region where he doesn’t have access to the one he owns, car rental is always an option. In general, it costs around 100 dollars a day to rent a standard 4-door car. If extra style, protection, or luxury is added (let’s say a Ferrari, armored hummer, or limousine) the cost can be anywhere from シ1,000 to シ5,000 a day. Escort. The world’s oldest profession is still alive and well in 2090. Whether it’s for company, sex, or both, the paid escort is available to most clients for an expensive price. Unlike other professional services, because the service is so intimate the price is usually higher. It generally costs from シ50 to シ5,000 an hour for an escort. Eternity. This service offers immortality. Cellular repair, hormonal rebalancing, and restoration of mutated somatic cells can be used to stave off, or completely reverse the aging process.

Any DNA contained within the samples are fully sequenced if any are present, but labs don’t have access to the databases necessary to identify particular people based on their DNA. They can, however, give a rough description of sex, appearance, and genome. Mass Transportation. People often have to get from point A to point B, but it's too far and they don’t own a vehicle. Luckily, nearly every metropolis has an advanced mass transit infrastructure to use in just such cases. Generally, mass transportation costs シ25 per 100 km or so, though this can double or triple depending on if you have luxury seating. Phoenix Unlimited. A subsidiary of Hexie, Phoenix Unlimited uses this recent and incredible process to copy the human mind from an analog body into entirely digital code. The client enters a Phoenix Unlimited facility every month to upload their memories. The first upload takes around 3 days, but the monthly uploads take mere hours. Nanobots map the customer’s entire nervous system, connectome, endocrine complement, DNA and gene expression, as well as other pieces of data relevant to the human mind. Then, these nanobots communicate this map to an external computer. In this computer, a complete analog of the mapped human’s consciousness is formed. Every function down to a molecular level is reproduced. The result is a perfect copy of a mind, called a “psychomime”. International law unanimously decided that a copied mind cannot be legally activated until the original Hot Zone Rescue. A more unusual medical service is offered by a company called Hot Zone Rescue. A Ronin International Subsidiary, they are a corporation that specializes in airlifting people that are wounded out of sticky situations. A character who subscribes to this service has a chip implanted that monitors their health and location at all times. If the character is critically injured an airbus crewed with paramedics and soldiers is immediately sent to the character’s location. Even if it is in the middle of a firefight, the sky ambulance will land, retrieve the character, and fly him to the hospital (for a reasonable price). This service cooperates with local police departments, so it knows not to help criminals in gunfights with police or other law enforcement agencies. In certain areas, this service is illegal or restricted to law enforcement personal or VIPs. If you ever reach 0 hit points an airborne ambulance is immediately dispatched to your location. The airbus is crewed by five CR 4 NPCs (see Chapter 12). One is a driver, and four are soldiers with paramedic training. To the best of their ability, they attempt to rescue the character. Coverage is international and all metropolises have outlets for this service so the arrival time is 2d10 minutes in big cities. However, in small towns or the wilderness, the arrival time may be much later, even hours. Short of the local government outright ordering the ambulance away, they will make an attempt to extract you. It costs シ20,000 a month for this service, and if the ambulance is actually called upon, you are charged an additional シ200,000. Lab Work.

142 // 4. Goods and Services // Drugs While some things change with time, other things stay the same, and drug use is one of the latter. There is still a booming market for pharmaceutical or recreational drugs fueling massive industries both legitimate and illegal. Drugs are used for medicine, enhanced abilities, and for fun. Due to the many advances in pharmaceuticals and their delivery, many modern drugs now have a much greater effect than the traditionally used drugs. Drugs are usually administered through hypospray but needles, patches, pills, and smoking are still all ways to take drugs. The drugs listed below are merely a sample of the multitude of designer pharmaceuticals available and should be used as guidelines by the GM and the players to create the mechanics for other drugs. Despite the proliferation of new designer drugs, traditionally used drugs still permeate much of society as they are generally cheaper, less severe, or more available. Drug Mechanics The following rules apply to using drugs: • Their effects do not stack. For example, if you are on both mars and hype, you only get a +2 bonus to Dexterity, not a +4. • You can’t increase your ability scores beyond their maximum. For example, if you have a 20 Strength score, and your ability score maximum is 20, you gain no benefit from drugs that increase your Strength score. • Addiction. Each time you take a drug, roll 1d20. On a 1, you become addicted. You need to take this drug at least once each day, or you suffer disadvantage on all ability checks and attack rolls until you take the drug again. In order to break this addiction, you must refrain from taking the drug for one week, and succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom save. You can make a new Wisdom save for each week you go without taking the drug again. Antipoison. Anti-poison is a colony of adaptive nanobots that determine the poison the subject is suffering from, then transforms into cells that produce a chemical to neutralize the poison or bind to and carry out toxic chemicals. A poison in your system is neutralized and you are now immune to that same poison for 1 hour after administration. This does not cure damage already done by the poison, only stops further damage. If you anticipate being poisoned, you can inject yourself with this drug as a safety precaution. After 1 hour, you suffer disadvantage on ability checks and attacks rolls for 1 hour due to nausea. donor dies. After a subscriber’s death, they awaken in a VR utopia world designed by Phoenix Unlimited. A customer service representative contacts them within moments of their activation and explains their options. At this point, the copied consciousness exists as a mind without a body (though technically the databanks in Phoenix Unlimited are the body) and becomes the same legal entity as the original person. The character can continue living as their original legal identity. They can live as pure data in heaven programs of Phoenix Unlimited, roam the vast internet as a “bodiless mind”, be transferred to a cloned version of their original body, or be transferred to a prosthetic body. See Chapter 11 for more information on Phoenix Unlimited). A character subscribing Phoenix Unlimited uses the following rules: • If you are killed, your mind is preserved from the moment of your last upload, memories intact • You mind can be transferred to a cloned version of your previous body, containing duplicates of all of your lost upgrades (thanks to Phoenix Limited’s mandatory insurance policy, included in their fee). It is identical in every mechanical way to your previous body, only it has no mind until your psychomime is inserted into it. • Alternatively, you can opt to be injected into a transhuman body, as described under the transhuman body conversion service. Phoenix Unlimited insurance covers the base cost of the transhuman body conversion, as well as replacement of all upgrades lost from your original body, which are included in your new biosynthetic frame. • The next time you need to have your psychomime inserted in a body (either cloned or transhuman), it costs you a シ100,000 deductible. This deductible increases by and additional シ100,000 each and every time you need this service. Professional. Sometimes a character needs some professional help. This service might be from a lawyer, hacker, P.I., or any other professional job that a character can imagine and require services from. Very often when the character needs a professional it is because of their expertise at a skill, or set of related skills. A professional’s services generally cost their CR x 100 every hour.

Mars is a drug that puts a person into overdrive for a brief time, giving them increased coordination and strength. Mars usually promotes a very paranoid and wary feeling in its users, causing them to size everything and everyone up, judging their level of threat. You gain a +2 bonus to Dexterity and Strength for 30 minutes, but suffer 1 level of exhaustion afterward. Nanodoc. A cocktail of adrenalin, suturing and coagulating nanobots, and blood analog restores 2d6 hp. Nootro. Nootro is the street name for this nootropic (cognitive enhancement) drug. It increases the brain’s metabolism and circulation as well as the connection speed between firing neurons to make you think faster and better. It is highly popular among hackers, as they can navigate cyberspace and dive through code more easily. You gain a +2 bonus to Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma for 1 hour, but suffer 1 level of exhaustion afterward. Perk. This nanocolony clears out lactic acid in your muscles, restores and balances your neurotransmitters and hormones, and generally refreshes you.

A person that touches contact poison with exposed skin suffers its effects. • Ingested. A person must swallow an entire dose of ingested poison to suffer its effects. The dose can be delivered in food or a liquid. You may decide that a partial dose has a reduced effect, such as allowing advantage on the saving throw or dealing only half damage on a failed save.

146 // 4. Goods and Services // Vehicle Properties Autopilot. Every vehicle that has been manufactured has come with autopilot software. It is essentially an AI that knows how to do only 1 thing: operate the vehicle. The autopilot has proficiency in Drive and a +6 on Drive checks. These autopilots can be hacked and, like any other software, are considered bots. The basic autopilot software may be replaced by a more effective AI driver (see the Robots section in this chapter, or Appendix B: Bots) to create a much more intelligent vehicle. Cargo. This is the volume of space that is available for transporting goods, not including the number of passengers listed. Fuel. This is the distance the vehicle can go before needing to refuel. Handling. This is how maneuverable a vehicle is. This number is added Dexterity (Drive) checks (including those made by the autopilot) and to the vehicle’s AC. If the vehicle is not moving, it does not benefit from handling. On-Board Computer. All vehicles have an on-board computer with a HUD on the windshield (or your mind’s eye), GPS, temperature sensor, etc. Hit Points. Just like characters, a vehicle can be damaged by attacks or crashes. If it is lowered to half its hit points, the GM may penalize it in some way, such as a loss of speed or maneuverability. Damaged vehicles can be repaired (see Mechanics skill or Services), but if its hit points are reduced to 0 it becomes non-functional. A vehicle can fall below 0 hit points, and if it falls below -½ its hit point maximum, it becomes useless scrap and cannot be repaired. Seats. This is the number of passengers that can normally comfortably fit in the vehicle (not including the driver or pilot). Additional passengers may be carried if the vehicle’s cargo is large enough or the seating gets creative. If fewer than the listed number of passengers are carried, more cargo can be carried. Damage Reduction. This is the DR that the vehicle has, and it also provides this to the vehicle occupants. This stacks with any other DR the occupant has. Speed. This is the top speed of the vehicle. In one turn a vehicle can go from not moving to one quarter top speed, and each turn the vehicle can gain an additional quarter until full speed is reached after 4 turns (24 seconds). Combat speed works differently, since control and maneuvering are more of a priority, and it is defined by the vehicle type (see above). Nerve Agent. Nerve agents are poisons like VX and sarin gas. A person subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the person is also paralyzed while poisoned in this way, and it the saving throw fails by 10 or more the person dies. If administered via injury, the DC drops to 10. Wendigo. This hungry colony of nanobots bursts cells as they swarm through the body. A person subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 31 (9d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Vehicles While communication technology provides instant worldwide transmissions of information, to actually take people across wide spaces, vehicles are just as necessary as ever. Vehicles can range from poverty line mopeds to mobile weapons delivery systems. Vehicle Type Vehicles fall into seven types which define their movement and combat speed. Maximum speed and combat speed for vehicles are different due to the nature of maneuverability during combat versus long-distance travel. The entries in the chart below are non-combat speeds, while the description for each vehicle type indicates its speed during combat. • Air vehicles can’t fly in place and must remain moving to stay in the air, unless they have the hover feature (listed in their individual descriptions). Their combat speed is 200 meters. • Legged vehicles have the same movement, be it on a street, or craggy rocks. Their combat speed is 15 meters. • Submersible vehicles can operate underwater or above water, but move at half speed while underwater. Their combat speed is 18 meters. • Treaded vehicles can go off-road without penalty, but still suffer penalties for difficult terrain, and tend to be slower. Their combat speed is 18 meters. • Water vehicles operate only in water. Their combat speed is 18 meters. • Wheeled vehicles are meant for roads, and they are the fastest land vehicles. Unfortunately, when they are off-road their speed (including combat speed) is cut in half and they suffer disadvantage to any Dexterity (Drive) ability checks. In addition, they suffer the regular penalties for going over difficult terrain. Their combat speed is 45 meters.
