Races

A.I. Robots
NOW THOSE ARE EXCELLENT QUESTIONS I FIND
most people don't truly know the correct answers for. You
see, the only real difference between drones and robots is
that robots, intentionally or otherwise, are sapient. Now as to
if a robot has a soul ... I honestly can't say. I've been designing
them for decades now and I've never heard of someone
actually bringing a robot back from the dead, and we certainly
don't utilize souls in the creation of robots. It's possible they
may have developed some kind of technological soul over
time, but for the moment I don't think anyone can say for
sure.
- Chip, renowned roboticist and philosopher
Robots are artificially created constructs designed with the
use of advanced engineering and computer science.
Originally, robots were simple, nonsapient machines called
drones created to carry out tasks that were deemed too
mundane or dangerous for humanoids to accomplish. As time
drew on, advancements in technology allowed drones to
become more and more advanced, eventually developing into
the sapient beings known today as robots.
Artificial Beings
The artificial developmental process robots went through to
become sapient left many wondering the all essential
question as to whether they had a soul or not. Unlike other
sapient construct races like the warforged, the development
of robots never relied on the usage of magic or pre-existing
souls, but rather through a lengthy period of scientific trial
and error.
4
This unanswered question leaves robots open to potential
discrimination by many humanoids who consider robots to
be inferior for their lack of proof of a soul.
Purpose Built Beings
Truly sapient robots are costly to manufacture, and are never
created without a calculated purpose in mind. This pre-
existing purpose defines the robots existence, going far
enough to define their physical purpose -- which is always
designed to best enable them to fulfill their purpose.
This "designed for purpose" mindset towards creating truly
sapient beings draws a lot of strife from both robots and
humanoids alike, who may band together to advocate for
better robot creation rights. A plethora of politicians and
organizations claim to advocate for similar terms, but usually
have hidden agendas in doing so.
A Fight for Acceptance
Though sapient robots were seen as a scientific marvel and
was largely applauded by society, not everyone was pleased.
To this day there exists several different "interest groups" that
continue to undermine the efforts towards more widespread
robot sapience, lobbying governments, falsifying reports, or
even resorting to physical violence to undermine the
integration of robots into society.
Despite these forms of abuse from others, the most
common form of attack robots tend to face is verbal. Those
who hate or fear them frequently lash out with name calling,
the most common name being drone -- which carries the
implication that robots aren't even sapient beings, but are
rather unthinking machines.
AI Robot Names
All robots have a model type that designates what their
physical form is, and a serial number that can be used to
identify each individual robot. Once sent out into the world,
robots tend to learn the naming conventions of their local
area and choose a name that fits in better with their
environment.
AI Robot Traits
Drones were originally designed to have specific traits, and
the manufacturers kept these traits in robots after they
gained sapience.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution increases by 2.
Age. Robots are usually built into intellectual adulthood.
Because they aren't made of flesh, they don't age in any
standard way. Though their systems can break down over
time, the process generally takes hundreds to thousands of
years.
Alignment. For ease of use, most robots are hardcoded to
have a true neutral alignment, though with significant effort a
robot can break out of this mindset and develop their own
alignment.
Constructed Nature. Being a construct instead of a
humanoid comes with several advantages, specifically the
ones listed below.
You have the Construct type instead of the Humanoid
type.
 You have advantage on saving throws against being
poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
You are immune to disease.
You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
You don’t need to sleep, don’t suffer the effects of
exhaustion due to lack of rest, and magic can’t put you to
sleep.
Checks made to heal you must be made with the
Mechanics skill (outlined in Part 9) rather than the
Medicine skill.
When you take a long rest you enter a low power mode
instead of sleeping as described below.
Low Power Mode. Instead of sleeping, you enter an
inactive state for 4 hours each day to recharge your system.
You do not dream in this state, and you are fully aware of your
surroundings and notice approaching enemies and other
events as normal. However, if your rest is interrupted at any
point, you must restart the 4 hour period.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and
Cybernetic. Cybernetic is explained more in depth in Part 9.
Build Type. Thanks to their nature of being "designed for
purpose", there's a near unlimited amount of robot build types
designed to specialize in every ability imaginable. Below are
the most common.
Android
Unlike other robots, the interiors of androids are made of
millions of nanites. This allows them to have more organic
appearing movement. Androids were originally designed for
use in the service industry, having exterior appearances that
are indistinguishable from normal humanoids meant to keep
patrons from feeling uncomfortable.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma increases by 1.
Size. Androids are typically human sized, weighing on
average 270 pounds. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30.
Nanite Surge. You may focus the power of your body’s
nanites to improve your abilities. You may add your
proficiency bonus to any attack roll, ability check or saving
throw. You may decide to use this ability after rolling the die,
but before the outcome is determined. Once you use this
ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long
rest.
Humanoid Form. Androids are created to appear and act
exactly like humanoids, you have advantage on all Deception
checks to hide your true form.
Combat Unit
The elite combat units are used as soldiers in wars and
security agents or enforcement for corporations and those
whoever can afford them. They are constructed to be
impenetrable, with a physical design more focused on
destructive power than intelligent processing.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength increases by 1.
Size. Combat drones are typically bigger and bulkier than
other builds, ranging between 7 feet and 8 feet tall and
averaging 600 pounds. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30.
Fortified Exterior. Combat units are built with extra bulky
and heavy plating designed to protect them during attacks,
giving you a tough natural armor but making you ill-suited
when it comes to wearing extra armor. You have a natural AC
of 17 (your Dexterity modifier doesn't affect this number). You
gain no benefit from wearing armor, but if you are using a
shield, you can apply the shield's bonus as normal.
Modular Weaponry. Thanks to your combat focused
design, you can attach any weapon to your form, allowing you
to equip weapons that have the two-handed property as if
they didn't, and all versatile weapons are treated as being
held with two hands. Additionally, you cannot be disarmed.
Oracle Unit
Oracle units were a failed experiment in trying to predict
future events by designing a robot that could read every part
of a situation, compile and analyze the data about a situation,
and use said data to spit out an accurate prediction of the
future. Few were made, and fewer remain. While ultimately
failing to reach their goals, the designers did succeed in
creating robots with immense sensory precision and
unprecedented logical processing capabilities.
Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom increases by 1.
Size. Oracle units are typically human sized, weighing on
average 350 pounds. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30.
Darkvision You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you
as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim
light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Situational Awareness. Reading situations is one of the
prime directives of any oracle unit. You gain proficiency in the
Perception and Insight skills. You also determine the nature
of the stimuli you receive from Perception and Investigation.
For example, you can tell what chemicals are producing
specific smells, or you can determine all of the ingredients in
a food or drink by taste.
Repair Protocols. Whenever you spend Hit Dice at the
end of a short rest to heal, you heal an additional amount of
hit points equal to your character level. You may use this
ability once per long rest.
Reconnaissance Unit
Small and stealthy, the reconnaissance droid was designed
for clandestine operation, originally used by government
agencies, but more often used by corporations or private
parties in the modern day. Unlike other robots,
reconnaissance units are built entirely without metal, their
manufacturers choosing to utilize hard plastics and carbon
fiber instead.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity increases by 1.
Size. Reconnaissance units are typically smaller and built
from lighter material than other robots, ranging from 2-4 feet
tall and averaging 50 pounds. Your size is small.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 25.
Darkvision You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you
as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim
light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Light Materials. You gain proficiency in the Stealth skill.
Additionally, you do not appear on radar or thermal based
surveillance systems.
5
 Grappling Module. All reconnaissance units are built with
grappling modules. As an action you may shoot up to 50 feet
of heavy-duty cable, with either a grappling hook or suction
cup at the end (you choose which when you use the ability),
that can attach to any solid surface that can hold your weight,
or that is light enough for you to drag.
As a bonus action you can retract your rope and pull
yourself to a surface you have attached to, at a speed equal to
your walking speed. After retracting fully, you may choose to
stay connected, which gives you advantage on any saving
throws made to prevent being moved, as well as allowing you
to stick onto walls.
Replicant
Robot masters of disguise and subterfuge, replicants are
liquid-state robots comprised of a viscous gelatinous paste
contained within an incredibly thin synthetic membrane. The
paste is a soft pink, and contains a number of molecular
processors that maintain and operate the various systems of
the replicant.
Replicants are rarely seen in their native form however,
preferring to employ their ability to change their physical
appearance to blend in. The original creator of the replicants
is unknown and the methods to make them have been lost to
time, making them incredibly rare.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma increases by 1.
Size. Replicants are built to have a similar stature to
humans, weighing on average 230 pounds. Your size is
Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30.
Shapechanger. Over the course of a short or long rest, you
can change your appearance and voice to match that of one
6
humanoid you've seen before. you can also adjust your height
and weight, but not so much that your size changes. You can
make yourself appear as a member of another race, though
none of your game statistics change. You can't duplicate the
appearance of a humanoid you've never seen, and your
clothing and equipment aren't changed by this trait. You must
adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs
that you have.
You stay in this new form until you revert to your true form
or a different form (a process that the course of a short or
long rest), or until you die.
Amorphous. Your liquid-state allows you to to move
through a space as narrow as 1 inch without squeezing. Your
equipment is not amorphous.
Supercomputer
Supercomputing robots were designed to complete complex
problem solving tasks through adaptive programming,
utilized for sorting data into patterns that humanoids cannot
naturally see. Supercomputer robots normally are lightly
armored naturally, so that their processing units receive
better airflow.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence increases by 1.
Size. Supercomputers are typically human sized, weighing
on average 350 pounds. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30.
Adapting Mind. You gain two more languages of your
choice. Additionally, whenever you take a long rest, you may
change these languages to any other language (except secret
languages such as druidic or thieves’ cant).
Predictive Analysis. You can analyze patterns of
movement in other creatures, using your analysis to predict
how the creature will attack and defending yourself as
needed before it does. While you are not wearing medium or
heavy armor, you may choose to add your Intelligence
modifier to your AC instead of Dexterity.
Hunters
Hunters are robots designed specifically for tracking and
hunting down other robots. Their physical design places
special emphasis on health and damage, utilizing a built in
self healing system and preset programs that allows them to
exploit all of a robot's weaknesses. Hunters are expensive to
manufacture, and are typically only sent out to "deal" with
particularly troublesome robots.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution increases by 1.
Size. Hunters are generally taller and heavier than
humans, standing about 7 feet tall and weighing on average
550 pounds. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30.
Rescheduled Maintenance. While engaged in combat,
you can use an action to spend one of your hit dice from your
hit dice pool and use it as you normally would over the course
of a short rest. You still regain your hit dice in the standard
way. You can use this ability a number of times equal to half
your level (rounding down to a minimum of 1) per combat.
You can't use this ability if you've taken lightning damage
within the last turn or if you've been struck with an EMP
blast.
Construct Hunter. You've been specially designed to
attack and destroy robots. You have advantage on attacks you
make against constructs with the robot tag.

Gricknack
YEA I HAD A GRICKNACK WHEN I WAS A RUNT. MA
mah ended up getting it for me on ma 5th birthday, and it's
probably the only good thing that woman ever did for me
while I was growin up. If it weren't for Teddy I'd probs be
following in ma mah's footsteps shooting Hog up ma mouth
in an ally somewhere.
- Faisa Vosh, Half-Orc bouncer for Club Grace
Gricknacks are small animated stuffed animals created with
the purpose of watching over young children and being their
companions while they grow up. Initially, Gricknacks had
limited mental capacities and were simply animated toys, but
as the years went on more intelligent and sentient models
were produced. The toys were eventually designed with
complete sapience as it made communication with the
parents and interaction with the children easier. Gricknacks
are always stuffed animals, though what type of animal they
represent greatly varies. Ducks, dragons, dogs, and rarely
even corporate mascots are created, but the most common
form by far is the teddy bear.
Hardy Protectors
One of the key ideas behind the Gricknacks is their ability to
protect the children they look after. Despite their tiny physical
size, Gricknacks excel at attacking would-be aggressors by
actively targeting vulnerable low spots such as ankles,
Achilles tendons, and kneecaps. In case their child is afraid of
the dark, all Gricknacks are equipped with an internal light
that activates and allows them to glow brightly upon request.
Additionally, their form as a stuffed animal allows them to be
easily overlooked should they try and hide. Finally,
Gricknacks have an inbuilt empath ability to read the
emotional state of those they care about, and alter any affects
that might be controlling their emotions.
Charismatic and Attached
Gricknacks are naturally designed to be charismatic and
charming with children, and conversing with them and
persuading them to do tasks comes naturally to them. Their
tiny size also benefits them by making them seem "cute and
trustworthy" to adults. Many Gricknacks become very
attached to their children throughout the years, but know that
all good things must come to an end eventually. As the years
go on, children grow older and begin to spend less and less
time with them. They'll still listen and offer advice when
asked, but by the time their children reach maturity, most will
go their separate ways, keeping in touch but living life for
themselves. Very rarely some will become bitter and envious,
and lash out by using their charismatic abilities to manipulate
others into doing their bidding.
Gricknack Names
Most Gricknacks tend to keep the names they were given by
their children, which tend to reflect their physical appearance
or a cute sounding series of words.
Names. Fluffy, Hugsalot, Tie Dye, Sir. Roughagins, Lotso,
Commodore Fluffy Pants, Quizly, Lumpy Head
Gricknack Traits
Gricknacks have the following racial traits.
Ability Score increase. Your Charisma increases by 2,
while your Strength decreases by 1.
Age. To better care for children, Gricknacks are built into
intellectual adulthood, and their construct nature prevents
them from aging. Gricknacks have no determined age, and
theoretically could persist for hundreds of years.
Alignment. Gricknacks tend to be neutral in all affairs,
seeking only to protect their ward. Rarely however, one or two
Gricknacks will become obsessed with the fact that their
ward has grown up and doesn't want to play with them
anymore. These individuals often become obsessed with the
idea they were "abandoned", and use their charismatic ability
to manipulate and abuse others into staying with them.
Gricknacks who devolve into this mindset become neutral
evil.
Size. Your kind are adorable, which is a blessing and a
curse. Your kind average between 1½ and 2 feet tall, and
weigh between 5 to 8 pounds. Your size is Tiny. Additional
rules for tiny races can be found in Part 9.
7
 flipping between parts is annoying. input tiny size
rules here instead.

Speed. Due to your incredibly short stature, your kind move

slower than the norm. Your base walking speed is 20 feet.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and
one other language of your choice.
Manufactured Resilience. You were manufactured in a
factory, and have the following traits because of it:
You have the Construct type instead of the Humanoid
type.
You have advantage on saving throws against being
poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
You are immune to disease.
You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
You don’t need to sleep and don’t suffer the effects of
exhaustion due to lack of rest, and magic can’t put you to
sleep.
Checks made to heal you must be made with the
Mechanics skill (outlined in Part 9) rather than the
Medicine skill.
When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six
hours in an inactive, motionless state rather than sleeping.
In this state you appear inert but aren't actually
unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.
Night-Light. Gricknacks possess an inbuilt light source. As
a bonus action, you can cause light to emanate from your
entire body, causing it to shine bright light of a color you
choose in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10
feet. If your body is completely covered, the light is blocked.
You can also use a bonus action to emanate only dim light in
a 10-foot radius, or to deactivate the light entirely.
Cute and Adorable. The incredibly small size and
intentionally adorable design of your kind is both a blessing
and a curse. You have a +2 bonus to Charisma (Persuasion)
checks and a -2 penalty to Charisma (Intimidation) checks.
Additionally, any Charisma based checks you make towards
children are made with advantage.
Takedown. You can take advantage of your nimble
maneuvers to bring down opponents that tower over you.
When you damage a creature with an attack or a spell and the
creature's size is larger than yours, you can cause the attack
or spell to deal extra damage to the creature. The extra
damage equals your level.
Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Calm Down. Gricknacks have an empathic sense of the
emothions and feelings of others, and can use their willpower
to change the feelings of those they touch. You are magically
aware of the emotional state of any creature you touch, and
you can tell if a creature is under the magical influence of a
foreign entity. This include effects such as the charmed and
frightened conditions, and the exertion of magical control
such as the geas spell and similar effects. As an action, you
can remove one of these conditions from a willing creature
you touch.
Once you remove a condition in this way, you cannot do so
again until you finish a short or long rest.

Wirewreck
RECENTLY, IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION    
that a group of individuals calling themselves "Wirewrecks"
have been claiming that Palm Cybernetics unlawfully took
these individuals against their will and subjected them to
inhumane experimental tests for weeks, months, or even
years in an effort to test new cybernetic parts. Let me be
clear. Palm Cybernetics and all of its subsidiaries do not
participate in the actions portrayed by these claims. While
Palm Cybernetics does use humanoid test subjects to ensure
the quality of our products, we do so in a humane manner
described by the law, and fairly compensate our willing
participants. Thank you, no further questions.
- Howard Byrd, CEO and Founder of Palm Cybernetics
Scientific advancements require experimentation, and
experimentation requires testing on appropriate subjects to
ensure one is getting the desired results. As demand
increases for newer and better cybernetics, so too does the
demand for test subjects that can be used to verify various
cybernetics work in the way they're supposed to before being
released to the consumer market. This is the origin of the
wirewrecks. Once ordinary humanoids, wirewrecks are
individuals who (willingly or not) became test subjects for a
vast amount of different cybernetic parts, getting torn apart
and stitched back together again countless times in the
process. The end result of this lengthy period of testing leaves
the wirewrecks something more, yet at the same time less
than what they once were.
Outcasts
Wirewrecks are a sad sight to behold. Those that survive the
experimentation that created them and are no longer
considered adequate test subjects are usually thrown out to
the streets without a second thought, leaving them to wander
aimlessly as they attempt to recover their now shambled life.
The whole ordeal causes many wirewrecks to forget who they
once were, losing memories of their identities, relationships,
and even their own names.
Maimed and Scarred
The most unsettling part of the wirewrecks however is their
physical appearance. Over the course of experimentation,
various cybernetic parts are left within the body of the test
subject. Many of these leftover pieces eventually fuse with the
subject on a cellular level, turning them into something
between a construct and a humanoid. The microscopic fusion
of metal and flesh has bizarre and painful outcomes that are
unique for each wirewreck. Jutting metal, exposed wiring,
misaligned limbs, extremely stunted height, and a general
breakdown of the skin are all common symptoms of everyday
life for wirewrecks.
To add to their misery, these "symptoms" leave many
wirewrecks crippled, too badly damaged for even the
advances of modern medicine or magic to fix. Merely existing
is a painful feat for these beings, and those that do manage to
carve out a place they can exist within society can be easily
identified by their odd proportions, and the cybernetic
implants that have escaped from beneath their skin to fuse
with its surface.
Wirewreck Names
Wirewrecks have two main names. The first name they go by
is whatever their name was before they underwent the
experimentation that created them, usually a name that
matches with the race of their parents -- provided they
remember it that is. The second name is called an
"experimental name". Experimental names are whatever they
were called during their stint as a lab rat. Many wirewrecks
hate their experimental names and consider them to be an
artifact from a sour time in their lives, but it remains
ingrained in their brains regardless.

Wirewreck Traits
As a wirereck, you have the following racial traits.
Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by
2.
Age. Wirewrecks are plagued by poor health from creation,
and rarely live more than 50 years after they're released back
into the wild. Before their creation they have the standard age
of whatever race they were previously.
Alignment. The constant agony wirewrecks live with
causes most of them to become calloused beings uncaring of
any problem that doesn't immediately involve them, causing
them to develop a truly neutral alignment.
Size. Wirewrecks tend to be shorter and more hunched
than humans, standing on average 4 to 4.5 feet tall. Your size
is medium.
9
 Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and
Cybernetic. Cybernetic is explained in more depth in part 9.
Homocyborgus. The process that created you has left you
a strange mixture of humanoid and construct, giving you the
following traits below.
When it comes to the purpose of spells, items, feats, or
anything else that has some form of creature type
requirement, you count as a humanoid and a construct. If
this feature would conflict with itself (such as a spell that
harms constructs but heals humanoids), roll a d2 to
determine what you count as for that particular effect.
You no longer require food or drink to survive, but still get
hungry and thirsty.
Checks made to heal you can be made with the Mechanics
skill (outlined in Part 9), or the Medicine skill.
Subrace. Each wirewreck is unique in how their
deformations effect them, technically creating a near limitless
amount of subraces within the parent race. For the most part
though, these deformities can usually be summed up into
three general subraces: Disassembled, Malfunctions, and
Shifters.
Disassembled
Disassembled wirewrecks have been torn apart and stitched
back together countless times over the course of their pitiful
lives. Having been "disassembled" in such a way so many
times has eventually caused them to get used to being torn
apart, allowing them to develop a unique connection between
them and their limbs. These connections allow the
disassembled to maintain control over their limbs after
they're physically disconnected from the body, allowing them
to see, hear, and even attack with their own severed limbs.
Disassemble. Over the course of your life, you've learned
from the experiments conducted on you to disassemble
yourself at will and control your limbs independently of your
body. You suffer no injuries when you disassemble a limb. If
you and your limbs are separated by more than a mile, you
lose control over your limb and must either purchase a new
one or find and reattach your current limb. If you buy a new
limb, you permanently lose control over the previous limb the
replacement is for. Disassembled limbs act on your initiative,
and can take the following actions listed in the table below.
You can reattach one of your limbs to your body as a free
action. If you have an arm disassembled, your speed is halved.
You fall prone if both your legs are disassembled but can
crawl if you have both arms, or crawl at half speed if you only
have one arm attached. When all your arms and legs are
disassembled, your speed is 0 and you can't benefit from
bonuses to speed.
Spells or other effects that originate from you originate
from your body, not your disassembled limbs.
10
Limb Speed Action
A disassembled arm can crawl, make an
unarmed attack, or attempt to grapple with

disadvantage. It can also use any cybernetic
attachments or upgrades it has.
A disassembled leg is unable to take actions
Leg 5ft other than moving, but it can use any
cybernetic attachments or upgrades it has.
A disassembled hand can crawl, climb, or
attempt to grapple with disadvantage. The
hand can take other actions a hand would

Hand climb picking a lock, opening a door, or
5ft pickpocketing someone, taking disadvantage
with each try. If the hand has cybernetic
attachments or upgrades it can use them as
well.
A disassembled foot is unable to take actions
Foot 5ft other than moving, but it can use any
cybernetic attachments or upgrades it has.
As a constant passive ability, you can look
through a disassembled eye and see
everything it sees. If they eye has any
Eye 0ft cybernetic attachments or upgrades, you can
also use those as well. If both of your eyes
are disassembled, you are considered blinded
(though you can still see out of your eyes).
As a constant passive ability, you can hear
through a disassembled ear and see
everything it sees. If the ear has any
Ear 0ft cybernetic attachments or upgrades, you can
also use those as well. If both of your ears are
disassembled, you are considered deafened
(though you can still hear from your ears).
Fragile. Your nature makes you susceptible to falling apart
when struck with enough force. If you take more than 20
damage from a single physical source in one turn, roll a d20
and consult the table below.
d20 Result
1
Two limbs are knocked off of your body. Roll twice
on this table, rerolling results of 1 or 20.

When a limb is knocked off, flip a coin to determine if it's
from the right or left side of your body. Heads is the right side
and Tails is the left side. You must spend an action to reattach
a limb to your body.
Used to it. You do not need to apply the Constitution Cost
when purchasing and installing the basic cybernetic arms,
legs, hands, feet, ears, or eyes. You still need to apply the
Constitution Cost for any upgrades to said limbs or other
cybernetic implants. Additionally, you do not take damage if
any of your limbs are removed from your body in some way
(such as from an explosion).
Malfunctions
The majority of the testing malfunctions went through
involved installing circuitry inside the humanoid form. The
circuitry installed is generally left inside the subject,
eventually building up to the point where it begins to break
through their skin and scrape against their insides.
Wirewrecks are survivors however, and malfunctions are
those that have eventually learned throughout their lives to
dominate their circuitry, shifting it around inside them by
sheer force of will to produce devastating weaponized effects.
Cybernetic Circuitry. You have cybernetic circuitry thanks
to your unfortunate origin. Choose one type of circuitry from
the circuitry table. Your Focused Overload weapon and
damage resistance are determined by the circuitry type. Over
the course of a short or long rest you can force the circuitry
inside you to shift around, allowing you to choose a different
type of circuitry from the table.
Damage
Circuitry Type Focused Overload
10 ft. sphere centered on yourself
Lithium Fire
(Dex save)
Copper Lightning 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex save)
Nickel Acid 15 ft. cone (Dex save)
Cybernetic Shift. On your turn, you can shift as a bonus
action, allowing the mess of wires within you to burst through
your skin and envelop your body. Shifting lasts for 1 minute
or until you end it on your turn as a bonus action. While
shifted, you gain temporary hit points equal to your level +
your Constitution bonus (minimum of 1). Your speed
increases by 5 feet, and you gain a climb speed equal to your
walking speed.
As an action you may make a melee attack with a sharp
tangle of wires that erupts out from your mouth, stomach,
eyes, or some other place on your body. If you hit with the
attack, you deal 2d6 piercing damage + your strength
modifier. If the attack hits a target that is medium sized or
smaller, the target is also grappled. You can grapple as many
targets as you hit with this attack before a minute elapses, but
all grappled creatures are freed when a minute passes. The
attack has a 10 foot reach.
You must finish a short or long rest before you can shift
again.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by
1.

Focused Overload. You can use your action to exert

destructive energy. Your cybernetic circuitry determines the
damage type, shape, and reach of the exertion. When you use
your focused overload, each creature in the area of the blast
must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by
your circuitry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your
Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature
takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage
on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th
level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use
your focused overload, you can’t use it again until you
complete a short or long rest.
Installed Resistances. You have resistance against the
damage type your Focused Overload ability deals.
Shifters
Cybernetic attachments require wires that either run to the
brain or connect to nerves to allow fine control from the user.
Shifters are the leftover test subjects used to test these wires,
and as a result are filled to the brim with wires in a manner
that resembles how stuffed animals are filled with fluff.
Because all of these wires (or at least most of them) are
connected to either the brain or nervous system, shifters can
control these wires to erupt out of their body by bursting
through their own skin in a process known as "shifting".
Though painful, shifting proves advantageous by giving
wirewrecks an upper hand in fighting or escaping combat.

 PART 2
Subclasses

12
Subclasses
S
ociety and culture changes over time, becoming more
and more "advanced" as time progresses. As
culture evolves and new technology is developed,
the people within society are forced to change and
adapt as well. One of the best ways to represent
this is with new subclasses that reflect the ways in
which society changed over time. Within this section, you'll
find drugged out barbarians, freaks who gain magical powers
from radiation, artificers who augment flesh with mechanical
parts, warlocks making pacts with corporate entities, and
much much more. Three subclasses that represent the ways
individuals adapt to a cyberpunk reality are included for every
class -- for a grand total of 39 subclasses.
Artificer Specializations
Masters of ingenuity, artificers specialize in attaching the
potent forces of magic to normally mundane objects. As
technology becomes more sophisticated however,
technological objects that would be considered magical in the
past become mundane, giving artificers a larger inventory of
items to tinker with. The three subclasses listed within -- the
Augmenter, the Drone Mason, and the Mechanic -- are all
centered around this more modern technology.
Specialty: Augmenter
Flesh is weak. As the ceaseless passage of time marches
onwards, it swiftly withers and rots, bruising like an apple
and sloughing off with disease in the process. Augmenters
understand this weakness, and seek to prevent the decay of
the body by replacing the imperfections flesh with the
certainty of machinery. Masters of this specialty typically lead
the development of new cybernetics and sell their designs to
the highest bidder, or work to better their community by
(sometimes quite literally) giving the unfortunate a leg up to
function better in an increasingly demanding world.
Tool Proficiency
When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain
proficiency with engineering kits and surgical tools. If you
already have proficiency with one or both of these, you gain
proficiency with a different type of tool set of your choice in
lieu of the one you have proficiency in.
Augmenter Spells
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared
after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the
Augmenter Spell table. These spells count as artificer spells
for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer
spells you prepare.
New spells introduced for this Specialty are marked with
an asterisk and detailed in the “New Spells” section of this
compendium. For all other spells, see the Player’s Handbook.

Augmented Cybernetics
Starting at 3rd level, your obsession with improving the
humanoid form has rewarded you with the advanced
knowledge necessary to create potent cybernetics, and attach
them to yourself or others. When you finish a long rest, you
can use your engineering kit to magically create any basic
cybernetic part. Additionally, when you finish a short or long
rest you can use your surgical tools to magically attach one
cybernetic part (either your own or a standard one) to any
willing creature.
Alternatively, instead of creating a basic cybernetic part,
you may "augment" a basic part with one with your own
custom improvements. You can augment a number of
cybernetics equal to your Intelligence modifier +1 (to a
minimum of 1), and can only augment a basic part a single
time in this manner. If you augment a number of parts greater
than your Intelligence modifier, the oldest augmentation
vanishes, causing the cybernetic part to lose all effects of the
augmentation. Augmentations and their effects can be seen
in the Augmentations table.
Augmentations you create last indefinitely, until you choose
to remove them, or until you surpass the number of
augmentations allowed by your Intelligence modifier. If you
choose to remove an augmentation, you can do so at any
time, regardless of your distance from the piece with the
augmentation.

Augmentations
Name Effect
You implant a small computer into this
cybernetic, allowing it to help the user
maintain concentration on a spell. So long
Arcanology
as the user has a cybernetic part augmented
in this manner, they have advantage on all
checks to maintain concentration on spells.
You spend your long rest fine tuning a basic
part, optimizing it for maximum
productivity. Cybernetics with this
augmentation have an additional accessory
Optimization slot. If this augmentation is removed, the
creature using the cybernetic chooses
which accessory is removed (assuming they
have more than the maximum number of
accessories if this happens).
You enable the basic cybernetic to be
functional even when detached from the
user. Detached legs, feet, and arms have a
movement speed of 0, and cannot attack,
though they can use any accessories they
have at the command of the owner (arms
have a movement speed of 5 if they're
detached with a remote control hand).
Detached hands have a movement speed of
20 feet, and can use any accessories they
Remote have at the command of the owner.
Control Detached ears and eyes have a movement
speed of 0, but their owner can hear
through the ears and see through the eyes,
and they can use any accessories they have
at the command of the owner. This
augmentation does not work on neuralware.
The owner must be within 1 mile of the
cybernetic part to use this augmentation.
Parts augmented in this way follow the rules
for damaging cybernetics as described in
the cybernetics section.
You intentionally knock some of the wiring
inside the basic part out of alignment,
causing it to occasionally emit dangerous
sparks. Twice per long rest, when a creature
Sparks makes a melee attack while having a basic
part with this augmentation, they can cause
it to emit a shock of electricity towards
their target dealing an additional 2d8
lightning damage with their attack.
You greatly enhance the capabilities of a
basic part, giving noticeable boons to the
owner. Feet and hands with this
augmentation give the user an additional +1
to their Dexterity score. Arms give the
Upgrade
owner a +1 to their strength, and legs give
the owner a +5 bonus to their speed. Eyes
and ears increase the owner's Perception by
+1, and neuralware gives the owner a +1 to
Intelligence.
You are encouraged to create further Augmentations,
checking with your DM to ensure they allow them and
consider them balanced.
14
Augmented Conduits
When you reach 5th level, you learn to augment cybernetics
in ways that benefit you while also benefiting others by
crafting potent arcane conduits into each of your
augmentations. When you cast an artificer spell within 60
feet of one of your augmentations, you can instead have the
spell originate from that augmented part.
When you cast a spell through your augmentations, roll a
d8. You gain a bonus to one of the spell's damage rolls equal
to the number rolled.
Augmentation Master
At 9th level, you have become a veritable master of creating
and augmenting cybernetics. When you finish a long rest, you
can use your engineering kit to magically create any
cybernetic with a Constitution Cost equal to or less than 1.
Additionally, you can now install up to two augmentations
into a single basic cybernetic part, and can augment a
cybernetic piece over the course of a short or long rest. The
number of augmentations you can have active at once has
increased as well. You can now have a number of active
augmentations equal to twice your Intelligence modifier +1
(still to a minimum of 1).
Beyond Humanoid
At 15th level, you have finally learned to break free from the
frail shackles of flesh, allowing you to elevate yourself and
others into something more than human with your
augmentations. Creatures gain the following benefits based
on the number of your active augmentations they have
applied to them at any given time.
If a creature has two or more of your augmentations
applied to them, they gain resistance to poison damage
and psychic damage, and they are immune to the poisoned
condition.
If a creature has four or more of your augmentations
applied to them, the cybernetics enhancing their body
makes them stronger and less susceptible to flesh
wounds, giving them a +4 bonus to their AC.
If a creature has six or more of your augmentations
applied to them, they start to become more machine than
flesh, and can choose to consider themselves a construct
instead of your other creature types when targeted by
spells or other magical effects.

Primal Path
Rage burns in every barbarian's heart, a furnace that drives
him or her toward greatness. Different barbarians attribute
their rage to different sources, however.
Path of the Dreadnought
You are a merciless, destructive and unstoppable force. When
it comes to fighting, you are at the forefront. A dreadnought
generally approach combat in the most direct way possible,
rarely carrying only one gun and leaving a path of devastation
behind.
In the midst of battle, you are capable to take a great deal
of punishment while dealing out far more to any who dares to
go against you.
Juggernaut
Starting when you select this path at 3rd level, when you are
targeted by an attack or a spell while you're raging, you can
use your reaction to gain a bonus to your Armor Class equal
to your rage damage until the end of this turn.
Additionally, you gain advantage in saving throws against
being knocked prone or moved against your will.
Draw Fire
At 6th level, you can use your reaction to distract opponents
and convince them that you are the most dangerous target in
the area. Choose one creature that you can see within 15 feet
of you which is attacking one friendly creature. If the creature
can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Charisma saving
throw (DC equals to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier) or attack you instead.
Body Gaurd
At 10th level, while you're raging, any creature within 5 feet of
you that's hostile to you have disadvantage on attack rolls
against targets other than you or another character with this
feature. An enemy is immune to this effect if it can't see or
hear you or if it can't be frightened.
Devastating Rage
At 14th level, when you have half or less hitpoints while
raging, you can add your Rage Damage bonus to attack rolls.
Path of the Wrecker
Muscle breaks Steel; Rage defeats Machines; Strength beats
Systems; such is the creed of the Wrecker. True barbarians
learn this creed quickly when set adrift in the so-called
civilized world of blinking lights and metal walls. People have
lost their way in this universe, trusting their lives to machines
and algorithms instead of the reliability of their own might.
Setting upon the Path of the Wrecker means tearing down
the machines and buildings of the mechanized world and
letting your bottomless rage guide you when the universe
itself seems upside-down.
Dismantle
By 3rd level, ripping apart machines, piece by piece, comes
second nature to you. While you're raging, you ignore the
damage threshold of nonmagical objects. Additionally, you
can add twice your rage bonus damage when you deal
damage to constructs.
Percussive Maintenance
Starting at 6th level, you understand that smashing
something usually makes it work better. You can attempt to
hack a device that could normally be hacked, such as a door
control panel or an arcane terminal, by breaking it. Make a
Strength (Athletics) check in place of an Intelligence
(Technology) check. On a success, you perform one operation
on the system of your choice as if you had full access, just as
if you successfully hacked the system. The machine breaks
immediately after this and can't be used afterwards without
repair, whether or not you succeeded on the check.
Disarm Foe
By 10th level, you've become quite skilled in the time tested
tactic of ripping off an enemy's limb and swinging it like a
weapon against them. You gain proficiency in improvised
weapons.
You can rip a limb off a humanoid creature when you
reduce it to 0 hit points with a melee weapon or unarmed
attack, or you can rip a limb off a Large or smaller construct
creature within 5 feet of you by making an opposed Strength
(Athletics) check against it as an action. If the construct has
half its hit points or more, it automatically succeeds on this
check. If you succeed on this check, you rip off one of the
creature’s limbs, which you can immediately use to make an
attack as a bonus action. A construct that has had a limb
removed can't make attacks using that limb and has
disadvantage on ability checks that involve using their limbs.
You can only remove one limb from a creature.
15
 make it so you can rip cybernetics out of creatures
of the same size.

A severed limb is an improvised melee weapon which deals

1d6 bludgeoning damage on a hit. If removed from a Large
creature, it deals 1d8 bludgeoning damage instead.
Crush, Smash, Bash
Starting at 14th level, your strikes land with such ferocity that
you tear armor and armor plating asunder with your attacks.
While raging, when you deal damage with a melee weapon
attack to a construct or a creature wearing armor, you can
cause the armor or construct to take a cumulative -1 penalty
to the AC it offers, to a maximum penalty of -4 AC. A
construct or suit of armor damaged by this ability can be
repaired in 1 hour for 100 gp per point of AC penalty taken.
Bard College
The way of the bard is gregarious. Bards seek each other out
to swap songs and stories, boast of their accomplishments,
and share their knowledge. Bards form loose associations,
which they call colleges, to facilitate their gatherings and
preserve their traditions.
College of Fame
Bards of the College of Fame are in the publics eye by day,
while working for an agency or organization by night. These
bards might simply be famous because of who they are, or Utterly Convincing
they may have earned their status because what they've done. Starting at 14th level, when you make a Charisma-based

Uprising
Also at 3rd level, with a chant you inspire you allies to rise up
and rally forward. Using a bonus action and a Bardic
Inspiration die, all of your allies that can hear you can add 10
feet to their movement on the following turn, as long as that
movement ends with them closer to an enemy than they were
when their movement started. Additionally, if that ally makes
a melee attack at the end of their movement, then they may
make that attack with advantage.
Deafening Chord
Starting at 6th level, you gain the ability to play deafening
music. Choose a creature within 60 feet of you that is not
deafened, and spend a Bonus Action to play the Deafening
Chord. The target succeed on a Constitution saving throw
against your spell DC, or they lose concentration on a spell or
concentration ability of your choice and become deafened.
Regardless of the result of the saving throw, that creature's
speed is reduced to 0 until the start of your next turn. This
ability can only be used a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier per long rest (a minimum of once).
Rise Up
At 14th level, the sheer magnitude of your spirit for rebellion
and defiance emboldens your allies to rise up and challenge
the authority around them. Spend an Action to roll your
Bardic Inspiration dice. All allies that can hear you within 60
feet gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your
proficiency modifier + your Charisma modifier + the result of
your Bardic Inspiration dice. You can use this ability a
number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum
1) per Long Rest.
Divine Domain
In a pantheon, every deity has influence over different aspects
of a mortal life and civilization, called a deity's domain. All the
domains over which a deity has influence are called the
deity's portfolio. As a cleric, you choose one aspect of your
deity's portfolio to emphasize, and you are granted powers
related to that domain.
City Domain
The City domain is concerned with the citizenry, commerce,
traffic, and even architecture of modern civilization. In the
eyes of a cleric of the city, the center of modern life is a sense
and spirit of community, and the gravest enemies of the city
are those who seek to harm the common weal of its citizens.
New spells introduced for the City domain are marked with
an asterisk and detailed in the “New Spells” section at the
end of this book. For all other spells, see the Player’s
Handbook.

must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the
creature is knocked prone or restrained (your choice) by
hazards such as entangling wires, high pressure water
erupting from fire hydrants, pavement collapsing to unseen
potholes, and so on. A restrained creature can escape by
making a successful Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check against your spell save DC.

extra psychic damage increases to 2d8.

instantaneously to other points in the city. Starting from a bus
stop, train station, subway stop, or other suitable mass transit
site within the city, you can teleport to any other similar

whose destination is a permanent teleportation circle you

Druid Circle
Though their organization is invisible to most outsiders,
druids are part of a society that spans the land, ignoring
political borders. All druids are nominally members of this
druidic society, though some individuals are so isolated that
they never seen any high-ranking members of the society or
participated in druidic gatherings.
At a local scale, druids are organized into circles that share
certain perspectives on nature, balance, and the way of the
druid.
Circle of Civilization
Also called Urban Druids, or Iron Druids, those who enter
the Circle of Civilization learn to see the world of man not as
a scourge upon nature, but an extension of it. these druids
see beauty in the resilient ecosystems of humanoid cities, and
so serves as a guide and protector to their inhabitants. such
druids appear at all levels of society, be it as a vagabond
amongst their homeless charges, or liaison between the
aristocracy and the fey court. Regardless of your station, as a
member of this circle your magic is bound to the streets
beneath your feet, and the thousands of people who walk
them alongside you.
Bonus Cantrip
When you choose this circle at 2nd level, the cantrips from
the following list are added to the druid spell list for you, and
you may learn a cantrip from the list: prestidigitation, minor
illusion, message, friends.
Civil Recovery
Starting at 2nd level, you can regain some of your magical
energy by sitting quietly and listening to the sound of the city.
During a short rest, you choose expended spell slots to
recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is
equal to or less than half your druid level (rounded up), and
none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You can't use this
feature again until you finish a long rest.
For example, when you are a 4th-level druid, you can
recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover
either a 2nd-level slot or two 1st-level slots.
City Spells
Your mystical connection to the city infuses you with the
ability to cast certain spells. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you
gain access to city spells connected to the metropolis where
you live. Once you gain access to a city spell, you always have
it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells
you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that
doesn't appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless
a druid spell for you.
Circle of Civilization Spells
Druid Level Spells
3rd alter self, shatter
5th tiny servants (XGE), hypnotic pattern
7th fabricate, compulsion
9th passwall, animate object
Social Stride
Starting at 6th level, moving through nonmagical difficult
terrain costs you no extra movement. Furthermore, your
spiritual place within humanoid society allows you to easily
insert yourself into any social groups. As an action you may
approach a group of three or more non-hostile humanoids
who are within 10 feet of you and have a CR of 1/2 or lower,
forcing them to make a WIS saving throw. the humanoids
who fail the save instinctually cluster together with you, and
the following things happen:
The effected creatures perceive you as part of their group
and treat you as a friendly acquaintance.
The creatures instinctively cluster together, staying within
5 feet of each other wherever possible.
You may use your bonus action to have your group of
influenced creatures move up to 15 feet in the direction of
your choice. they will not move into an obviously
hazardous location, such as a sheer drop or a patch of
flame.
You have advantage on deception checks to pass yourself
off as a member of that group to outside observers.
This effect ends when you are no longer within 10 feet of
the group, if you or any member of the group sustain damage,
or after 10 minutes. When you use this ability you may not do
so again until you have completed a long rest.
Iron Druid
When you reach 10th level you bind your magic to the bones
of the city, surpassing your aversion to Iron and other metals.
While you are wearing significant amounts of cold iron about
your body (for instance in the form of heavy piercings, jewelry,
or metallic tattoos.) you are immune to poison and disease, as
your iron aura grants you construct like resilience. Your iron
magic also wards you against the influence of fiends and fey,
making it impossible for them to frighten or charm you. if you
are wearing metal in your humanoid form, you retain the
benefits while wild shaped.
Urban Shape
At 14th level, you may shape yourself into an avatar of your
urban home. While you retain the benefits of your Iron Druid
ability, you may expend a use of your wild shape and gain the
following benefits for 1 minute:
Mortar and Debris coat your body, doubling your weight
and granting you resistance to non- magical piercing
bludgeoning and slashing damage.
You radiate an aura bearing the essence of cold iron 10
feet from yourself. Whenever a fiend or fey creature enters
your aura, or begin their turn there, they take Radiant
damage equal to half your druid level, as the metal’s touch
burns them.
You may use two feet of your movement to walk through 1
foot of carved wood, packed dirt, or worked stone. If at the
end of your turn you are inside a surface that this ability
had allowed you to enter, you are harmlessly ejected from
that material at the point where you entered.
19
 Circle of Pollution
Druids in the Circle of Pollution look at the megacities in the
world and obsess over how they destroy the environments
around them without a second thought. Disgusted by the
pollution of the natural world, these druids use perverse and
dangerous magic to pollute water sources, rot food, and rust
metal in an attempt to fight fire with fire by harnessing the
power of pollution to destroy these cities. Perhaps due to
their extremism, usage of perverse pollution magic, or a
mixture of both, these druids are often outcast from regular
society in addition to druidic society and often live in small
groups of like minded extremists.

Circle of the Sewers
Like a barnacle clutched to a belly of a ship, druids of the
sewers aren't bothered by their reputation. Where there is an
ecosystem, you can be sure there is at least one druid
maintaining it, and under the rustle and bustle of any
Waterdeep or Silverymoon there is an ecosystem—one of
vermin and filth, but an ecosystem nonetheless.
Druids of the sewer promote the vermin that stalk the cold
stone passageways that snake below the cities of the material
plane. These druids promote their inhabitants' existences
whether to keep the companionship of the fellow squalid
lifeforms or to keep the balance of the gorgeous cities by
tending to the wretched world below.
Circle Spells

ability to cast certain spells. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you

Once you gain access to a circle spell, you always have it

a druid spell for you.

have a common goal. When you use your action to wildshape
you can instead turn into a swarm of tiny beasts, following all
other normal wildshape restrictions.
Starting at 6th level in this class, when you are in the form
of a swarm of tiny beasts you can use your bonus action to
scatter in every direction. You become incapacitated and
immune to all damage that doesn't fully engulf the entire
swarm (the swarm when scattered has a radius equal to it's
fastest movement speed).
If you are scattered, your swarm form loses stability at the
start of your next turn. You become a single instance of the
tiny creature in an unoccupied space within the reach and
movement speed of the orignial swarm. All other instances of
the unstable swarm die and rot into grey ash.
Infesting Friends
Starting at 6th level, you can call fourth any community of
vermin that skulk the shadows looking to eat all they can.
When you kill a creature within 10 feet of you with a spell or
attack, you can cause a swarm of tiny beasts to burst fourth
from the corpse. These tiny beasts obey your verbal and
mental commandss. The swarm of tiny beasts must be a
swarm you are able to turn into with your wildshape feature.
The swarm scatters when they enter direct sunlight or until 8
hours has passed.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Starting at 10th level, the disease and toxic sewers are inert
to your form. You become immune to the effects of poisons
and disease.

decay.
All creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you are
immune to contracting diseases or becoming poisoned,
including yourself. If the creature is already poisoned or
diseased the effects of the poison or disease are suppressed
while they remain within 10 feet of you.

Paladin who has taken the Oath of Logic strives to bring
order through knowledge, utilizing the urban world around
them.

understand the laws and reasonings in a modern age.

hunch is true, false, both or neither. A "both" response is
possible for vague assumptions such as "the mayor is an evil
man" can be both true and false (he is evil, but not human). An
"unknown" response is for questions with no immediate
answer.
The DM may determine that the hunch is so obvious that it
does not require a roll, or that is so vague that there is no
chance for success.
A hunch does not translate as a legal truth, and will not
stand up in a court of law. Rather it is an obvious fact to the
Shadow Hunter alone. Finding proof of an assumption such
as "the mayor is a mind flayer" would require additional
work.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Wisdom modifier and you regain any expended uses when
you finish a long rest.
Locate Target
At 15th level, you gain the supernatural ability to know where
your target is. By spending 1 uninterrupted minute in
concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), you
can sense your targeted creature's location if it is within 3
miles of you, and if it's moving, you know the direction of its
movement. This ability applies only on the target, and does
not reveal attitude, status, or the presence of others around
the target.
After you use this ability, you must finish a sort or long rest
to use it again.
Urban Warrior Conclave
To embody the Urban Warrior is to have your knowledge of
the city reach out limitlessly. To traverse the city scape how
nobody else can, and be ready to tackle anything within is
what it means to be an urban warrior. The towering
complexes and endless alleyways are your jungle, the roads
are your rivers, and skyscrapers are your mountains; all of it
channels through you and gives you strength. Different urban
warriors may have different motivations as to why they fight.
Some are vigilantes that wish to keep peace in the city, some
are outlaws who look out for nobody but themselves, but
nomatter who they are the city is their domain and they fight
there like no other.
Traversal
At 3rd level, you mentally decode the world around you into
You gain a climbing speed equal to your movement speed.
You can fall up to twice as far without taking any falling
damage.
You can leap up to twice as far.
You can move through a space that is one size category
smaller than you without squeezing.
You can move down a vertical space at a speed equal to
double your base movement speed, assuming you have a
firm vertical surface to utilize. If you stop moving before
reaching the bottom of the vertical space, you start falling.
Combat Opportunist
Starting at 7th level, you gain exceptional knowledge on how
to use the world around you to your advantage; choose one of
the following features:
High Ground. Attacks you make against creatures
standing on ground at least 10ft lower to you have advantage.
Line of Sight. Creatures gain no benefit from using cover
against weapon attacks you make, unless it is full cover.
Lone Target. You have advantage on attacks against
creatures that are at least 5 feet away from any other target,
cover, or creature, excluding yourself
You can choose another one of these features at 11th level
and 15th level.
Weapon of Choice
At 11th level you understand as much about the weapons you
use as the environment. The weapon, in part, becoming a
component of your ever-growing equation of combat and
survival.
Over a period of 1 hour, which can be done over a short
rest, you expend a spell slot and analyze every critical and
finite detail of your weapon, as you attempt to bond with it.
The process is temperamental, and the weapon may reject
the process, depending on certain variables. At the end of the
period, you must make a Wisdom check with a DC of 20
minus the level of the spell slot you used initially. Add your
Proficiency bonus to this roll.
Certain variables can affect the DC. Refer to the chart
below for relevant information: (DC Mods do stack)
Weapon of Choice Mods
Variable
DC
Mod
Weapon is Magical +2
Weapon is Sentient +3
Weapon is Light -1
Weapon is Ranged -1
Weapon has permanent Bonuses/Penalties +2
Weapon is Simple -1
Weapon is Martial +1
Weapon has been physically modified +2
The bond with this weapon has before been
+3
broken
On a failed check, the weapon is not bound, and the spell
slot and attempt has been wasted.
On a success, the weapon becomes bound to you and it
gains the following benefits:
The weapon cannot receive modifier penalties.
You add your wisdom modifier to attack and damage rolls
made with the weapon.
You cannot be disarmed of this weapon while you are
conscious.
This weapon’s attacks are considered magical for the
purpose of overcoming resistances and vulnerabilities to
non-magical attacks.
If any changes are made to the weapon, such as any of the
factors mentioned in the variable table (except changes
granted by this feature, and spells that grant a temporary
bonus), the bond is broken, and you must reattempt bonding
if you are to re-establish your bond.
You may only have one bonded weapon at any given time
and you can willingly break your bond at any time (no action
required).
Street Ninja
Starting from 15th level, Your Movement speed increases by
20 feet. You can use the Dash, Dodge, Disengage, and Hide
action as a bonus action on your turn. Finally, as a reaction
you take directly after another creature’s action or movement,
you can use any unspent movement to move and/or utilize the
Traversal feature.
Roguish Archetype
Rogues have many features in common, including their
emphasis on perfecting their skills, their precise and deadly
approach to combat, and their increasingly quick reflexes.
But different rogues steer those talents in varying directions,
embodied by the rogue archetype. Your choice of archetype is
a reflection of your focus—not necessarily an indication of
your chosen profession, but a description of your preferred
techniques.

27
 Infiltrator
An infiltrator can break into places others wouldn't dream of,
find what it's looking for, and get back out again while eluding
or evading anyone who would try to stop him. An infiltrator is
a master of stealth, breaking and entering, and second—story
work.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain
proficiency with the disguise kit and hacking tools.

the lay of the land in a single sweep of your eyes that often
isn't perceptible to those around you.

the check when looking for alarms, surveillance devices,
escape routes and any expensive objects that can easily be
concealed and carried away.
Infiltration Adept
At 9th level, you have a number of infiltration dice equal to
your Dexterity modifier, which are d8s. You regain all of your
expended infiltration dice when you finish a long or short
rest. You can expend an infiltration dice and add it to the
result for the following checks after you roll, but before the
DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails.
Whenever you make a Dexterity (Stealth) check.
Whenever you make an attack roll while hiding.
Whenever you make a check using, disarming or repairing
an electrical or mechanical device.

At 13th level, you understand how machines and electrical
devices work. You gain advantage on checks to use, disarm or

alarm). You can use this feature once per short or long rest.
Master Infiltrator

expend up to two infiltration dices for each check instead of
only one.
Additionally, whenever you make a check using tools you
are not proficient, you can add half your proficiency bonus to
the check.
Decker
Almost all rogues are competent hackers, but a Decker can
pull information out of the internet in their sleep. Named for
the large keyboard ‘decks’ that used to be their tool of choice,
a skilled Decker is always in demand to act as information
brokers, identity thieves, or simply private investigators.
Bonus Proficiencies
Starting at 3rd level when you choose this archetype you gain
proficiency with checks made using computers and you also
gain a set of Hacking Tools (see items) and become proficient
with them.
Quick Subroutine
Also starting at 3rd level, you may use your Hacking Tools to
make a hacking attempt as a bonus action.
Browser History
When you reach 9th level, you may spend an hour
researching a particular person to find out one piece of
information about them. This research may be carried out
while interacting with them, e.g. while interviewing a client or
suspect. Typical information can include (others at GM
discretion):
wealth
affiliation with groups such as corporations, political
parties, etc
home address (if listed officially)
marital status, children, and next of kin, etc
criminal record
I Saw a Video About This...
At 13th level, whenever you could make an Intelligence skill
check (Arcana, History, Investigation, Nature, Religion or
Tech), you may spend one minute researching the internet to
give yourself advantage on the roll.
Ctrl+Alt+Del
By 17th level you know how to disable simple security
devices and drones quickly and quietly. If you are within 5
feet of a non-organic creature (drone, droid, turret, etc) you
may use your action to force it to make a Constitution saving
throw (DC 8+Int+Prof) or be immediately
disabled/deactivated. The creature has disadvantage on this
save if it is surprised.

Sorcerous Origin and takes 1d10 radiant damage at the beginning of each of its
turns. If it succeeds three times, this effect ends.
Different sorcerers claim different origins for their innate
magic. Although many variations exist, most of these origins
fall into some bigger categories.
Radiation Freak
The depths of space hold terrible forces that can warp and
twist a man irreparably. Radiation, for example, normally
offers a cruel, agonizing death, but can sometimes
fundamentally alter those subjected to its strange energies.
Those which emerge from this process alive are deemed
“radiation freaks” for the horrible physical deformities that
accompany their transformation, but some are changed in
even stranger ways. Radiation has the potential to alter a
creature at the magical level as well, resulting in mutated
sorcerers wielding horrific power.
Radioactive
Starting at 1st level, your body is saturated with harmful
residual radiation. You can use your action to activate or
suppress a radioactive aura. While active, your body glows
with a bright light in a 10-foot radius and

dim light for an additional 10 feet. Addition-

ally, each creature which comes within 5

feet of you or ends its turn in that area takes

1d6 radiant damage. At 6th level, this damage increases to

1d8 and at 14th level this damage increases to 1d10.
High Power
Also at 1st level, whenever you deal cold, fire, lightning, or
poison damage, you can replace the damage type with radiant
damage.
Adaptive Resistance
By 6th level, the tumors within your body can of rapidly shift
your magical metabolism. Immediately after you take
damage, you can use your reaction and spend 1 sorcery point
to gain resistance to that damage type until you take a short
or long rest, or until you use this ability again.
Glow Cloud
Starting at 14th level, you can use your action to transform
your entire body, along with everything you’re wearing and
carrying, into a cloud of dangerous radioactive material. This
effect acts as the gaseous form spell, with the following
differences:
Your flying speed is equal to half your movement speed.
If another creature enters your space or ends its turn
there, it takes 2d10 radiant damage.
You can cast cantrips while you’re in this form.
Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Isotope Poisoning
At 18th level, you can spend 3 sorcery points to bombard a
creature you touch with a near lethal amount of radioactivity.
At the beginning of each of the targets turns, it must make a
Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target is
poisoned until the beginning of its next turn and takes 4d10
radiant damage.
29
 Radiation Damage
An alternate damage type possibility for radiation
could be either necrotic or poison, rather than
radiant. Consult your DM before changing the
damage type.
change this one to match improved radiation
rules?
The Network
Your innate magic comes from the energy of the massive
network around the world where every device is connected.
Perhaps the constant exposure to this network through using
devices connected to the internet gave you your powers.
Social Network
Starting at 1st level, your innate connection allows you to get
information easily. Whenever you make an Intelligence check
to learn or get information about someone or something, you
may use your Charisma modifier instead.
Network Strikes
When you choose this origin at 1st level, as a bonus action
you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:
Whenever you deal damage with a spell, you can replace
the damage type to lightning damage.
Any creature within 30 feet of you that you can see that
hits you with an attack takes lightning damage equal to
your Charisma modifier.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long
rest to use it again.
Arcane Firewall
At 6th level, whenever you are targeted by an spell that makes
you roll a saving throw, you can use your reaction and spend
1 sorcery point to gain advantage on that roll.
If you are targeted by a ranged spell attack, you can use
your reaction and spend 1 sorcery point to impose
disadvantage on that roll.
Metamagic Glitch
At 14th level, when you cast a spell using a 4th level slot or
higher, you can choose one metamagic option you know from
Careful, Distant, Empowered, Extended or Subtle spell. You
use that metamagic option at no cost.
Network Overload
Beginning at 18th level, when you cast a spell that requires a
single attack roll against a single target, you can expend up to
4 sorcery points to deal an additional 1d10 lightning damage
for each sorcery point you expend.

Otherworldly Patron
A modern warlock channels the unseen randomness of urban
life, tapping into the energy of technology in unimagined
ways.
Digi-Lords
With the integration of modern technology in a world of
magic, the Digi-Lords rose. None are certain what they arean
AI, machine spirit, or something else- but their intentions are
clear: Human Capital.
The DIGISCAPE is a plane of existence dependent on
others, spanning across networks through any and all
connections, it only exists so long as the worlds
infrastructure stands. While this may seem like a
collaborated peaceful effort it's not unusual at all for
DigiLords to war with one other in board room meetings
between followers; shutting down and integrating other
Digital Domains to become the most powerful entity of the
DIGISCAPE.
Expanded Spell List
The Digi-Lord lets you choose from an expanded list of spells
when you learn a warlock spell. The following are added to
the Warlock spell list for you.

is only a basic idea of the digilink's uses, the full extent is
ultimately up to your DM.
Firewall
Starting at 6th level, you can digistruct cover as a bonus
action within the same space as yourself. This cover is 5 feet
wide and 3 feet tall, made of hard-light and works effectively
at stopping bullets. This cover remains for one minute. Once
you have used this feature you must finish a long or short rest
before you can use it again.
Battery.exe
Starting at 10th level, you have resistance to lightning
damage. Additionally, when you take lightning damage you
can store the damage you resisted and add the damage to
your next attack with a melee weapon or a pact weapon. You
must use the extra damage in your next turn or it is lost, if
you receive multiple attacks dealing lightning damage before
your turn you combine the totals and add the result to the
next applicable attack.
After using battery.exe to increase your attack you can not
use it again until you finish a long rest.
Digitize
Starting at 14th level, during a short rest you can cast astral
projection as if it were a ritual which requires no materials
except your digital focus. This only affects you and you must
project to the plane of your patron. While in this plane you
can use it to access private networks, complex systems, or
access your Digi-Lords domain. To access protected or
private networks you must use an access point connected
directly to the network.
The Superintelligence
Your patron is a very powerful and independent Artificial
Intelligence. You are not completely sure how it’s originated:
some warlocks say it was created as an overlord for the
network, and others say it was created by the massive
interactions through the digital world.
Expanded Spell List
The Superintelligence lets you choose from an expanded list
of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells
are added to the warlock spell list for you. Modern spells can
be found later in this compendium.

minute to merge your mind with your AI, allowing you to
travel to and use an electronic device within 100 feet from
you that you can see for the duration or until your
concentration is broken (as if you are concentrating on a
spell). You must finish a short or long rest before you can use
this feature again.
Additionally, you can also cast any spell with the
technomagic tag through your AI.
Spell Hacking

and gain resistance against damage dealt by spells for 1
minute.
Creature Hacking
Starting at 14th level, you hack a creature you can see within
30 feet of you to weaken its defenses and make it more
vulnerable to magic. The creature you choose must make an

double damage dealt by spells for 1 minute. The creature can
make another saving throw at the end of each of its turns to
end this effect.

PART 3
Backgrounds
 Modern Backgrounds
E
very story has a beginning. Every person
comes from somewhere and has things in
their past that either come directly into light
or demand constant effort to keep in the
shadows. Your character’s background
reveals where you came from, how you
became who you are today, and how you see your place in the
world. Your fighter might have been a courageous pilot or a
grizzled soldier. Your wizard could have been a scholar or an
investigator.
Choosing a background provides you with important story
cues about your character's identity. The most important
question to consider when choosing a background for your
character is what changed to bring them from who they were
to who they are today. If you're a Gricknack, what happened
to the child you watched over? Who (if anyone) actually cares
about your existence? How did you learn the skills of your
class? What sets you apart from ordinary people who share
your background?
At the time of writing, DND 5e has ~57 officially published
backgrounds to help give your characters diversity. The ones
in here are designed to focus on a more technologically

Celebrity
To some extent, you are famous. A significant number of the
population knows your name and what you do. You have a
knack for attracting public attention and know how to work a
crowd. Most of your life has been spent in the limelight,
whether you liked it or not.

Feature: “Hey, isn’t
that….”
You are often recognized by the public no matter where you
are. While it can sometimes be a chore, it also has its perks.
So long as you stick to your skit, you can gain favor quickly in
a crowd, often granting you advantage on Charisma checks
with the locals, up to the DM’s discretion. You can also use
your clout to occasionally get discounts on goods and
services, so long as it’s not in excess. Fans are fickle you
know.

Suggested Characteristics
Celebrities are often able to captivate an audience, so they
tend to have flamboyant or forceful personalities. Their goals
tend to vary from spreading awareness around a topic or art
to simply using their charisma to gain money. Regardless of
their true intentions, they're often skilled at masking their
emotions whenever they're in the spotlight.

Crafters seem just as down to earth and ordinary as any other

You’ve made your career out of getting the latest scoop, piece
of gossip, or finding just the right contact to get you hard
evidence on a story. You may be doing it because you like it,
or perhaps it’s the only thing you’re good at. Or maybe you’re
looking for that really big story, the one that’ll either set you
up for life or prove whatever you believed all along was
actually true.
Skill Proficiencies: Technology, Investigation
Tool Proficiencies: Disguise Kit, Cameras
Equipment: Fancy clothing, Recording Unit, and 150

Feature: Media Contacts
Information is the currency of your trade, and you have a
network of resources and contacts that you use to find out
something new and verify what you know. Whenever you
need to find information or the latest rumors on a particular
person, place, or event, you know who to talk to and may even
get some bonus information not normally obtainable.
Suggested Characteristics
To a media investigator, there’s nothing more important than
the scoop. Many investigators feel the weight and
responsibility of delivering the truth, or at least their view of
it, to the rest of the world. This sometimes causes them to

money. They work as hired guns on underground corporate

Feature: Mercenary Life
You know the mercenary life as only someone who has
experienced it can. You are able to identify mercenary
companies by their emblems and mannerisms, and you know
a little about any such company, including the names and
reputations of its commanders and leaders, and who has
hired them recently. You can find the hideouts where
mercenaries abide in any area, as long as you speak the
language. You can find mercenary work between adventures
sufficient to maintain a comfortable lifestyle (see Practicing a
Profession under Downtime Activities in chapter 8 of the
Player’s Handbook).
Suggested Characteristics
A mercenary’s sole purpose is to get the money from their
jobs, but some of them might have their own interests in the
jobs they get other than cash. Those who follow this life can
be quiet, taciturn individuals as readily as they can be savage
brutes living not for the pay, but for the thrill of pursuit.

Nobody
There are billions of people in the world, making it virtually
impossible to stand out in a crowd or be noticeable in any
significant manner. You are one of these billions of people
who slipped through the cracks of society, granting you the
title of a nobody. If you were to die today, you would leave no
legacy, your job would replace you in an instant, and people
would forget about you almost immediately.

Feature: Nameless
You can count on your hands the number of people who
actually know you, and probably only have to use one hand to
count the number of people who actively care about you. To
the rest of the world, you're just another face in the crowd
spending your life in the rat race until you die. Being so easily
forgettable and inconsequential does have its perks though.
Blending in with the crowd -- literally in busy streets or
packed modes of public transport -- is as easy as breathing for
you, making it hard for people to pursue or find you in these
types of areas. People also tend to forget about your
existence easily, making it easy to avoid suspicion.
Suggested Characteristics
Nobodies are the most common type of people in the world.
Very few people care about them, and fewer still will
remember them when they inevitably die. Some nobodies
hate this position, and crave to break free and make
themselves recognizable. Others recognize how forgettable
they are, and use it to their advantage. Most of them though
don't even realize what they are, and simply live out their lives
in monotony.

Officer
Keeping the law in a world where crime proliferates at the
same pace as the urban sprawl is an ungrateful work, yet that
is the job of an officer. You face criminals and terrorists often
better armed and equipped than you, and when things get off
the rails, the people quickly turn against you.
Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Intimidation
Tool Proficiencies: Forensics kit, vehicles (land or air,
choose one)
Equipment: A police uniform, badge, flashlight, forensics
kit, 2 chemicals plastiflesh, and 100 credits
Feature: Authority
Both citizens and criminals are afraid of your reputation.
Neither will report if you overstep the legal lines a bit (such
as by not paying for your food, or bruising a captive), and both
kinds will be more likely to spill the beans just to get rid of
you (or in the case of criminals, to keep you from beating the
beans out of them). Those who have some standing in the
community will not be so easily impressed by some dingy
officer, but maybe their employees will speak freely to you if
you block their way in the right dark alley.

often part of a family dynasty or have to jump through many
hoops to maintain their status amongst others within their
circle. They must also surround themselves with people they
can trust, something often harder to find than one would
think.

megacities and around the globe. You are also welcome at
most airports when landing your own aircraft.

Pilots are just as comfortable, if not more so, behind the

Smuggler
Supply and demand is one of the most fundamental laws in
economics, making it one of the most important laws in any
civilized society. Every now and then there's a demand for
items one can't legally supply, and that's where smugglers
come in. Drugs, weapons, people, vehicles, and even exotic
pets all need a method to have the supply reach the demand,
and as a smuggler you can fill this roll, for a price of course.

Smugglers are a highly charismatic and highly diverse bunch.
They cover a wide variety of personalities, ranging from the
boisterous street hawkers with a “special selection” to the
burly sailor who brazenly sells his wares after bribing the

Sprawl Ganger
Robbery, extortion, drug dealing, you specialize in all the
elements of a healthy and thriving gang. Though there's many
different types of crime, you weren't lucky enough to be a
corporate white collar, nor did you have the patience to
become an expert in cyberspace. You do however know the
good old fashioned rules of the street like nobody else.

Feature: Bad Reputation
No matter where you go, people are afraid of you thanks to
your reputation. When you are in a civilized settlement, you
can get away with minor criminal offenses, such as refusing
to pay for food at a restaurant or breaking down doors at a
local shop, since most people will not report your activity to
the authorities.
Suggested Characteristics
Sprawl gangers are criminals that don’t care for the property
or welfare of others or, at the best, they are modern day

F
rom the grand supermalls that grace the shopping
districts of megacities to the beat up electronic
vendor stations found on the corner of almost
every street, shopping is a part of everyday life in
any cyberpunk game. Any and every good or
service can be dug up in every megacity with
enough searching, giving every citizen the chance to consume
and purchase new armor, weapons, or everyday items.
Massive megacorporations push their ads for these goods
across all networks. Some manufacturers compete to make
the best, most cost effective gear for daily consumption, while
others specialize in high-grade luxury items or cheaper
products that break down easily. For those who brave the
dangers of everyday life in the megacity, the right piece of
gear at the right time could mean the difference between life
and death.
This chapter covers the different types of common and
exotic gear, goods, and services your character may find
useful during their exploits.
Starting Equipment
During character creation, you receive a starting set of
equipment as defined by your class and background.
Alternatively, you may receive a certain amount of wealth
measured in credits (commonly abbreviated as “cd”), the
standard currency that is used throughout this compendium.
The amount of credits available to each starting character is
dependent on their character class and background. See the
Starting Wealth by Class table in the PHB to determine how
much money you have to spend. Each credit is equal to one
silver piece.
How you came about your starting wealth, lifestyle, and
gear is completely up to you. Maybe you were a former
corporate wageslave who made use of their savings. You
might have kept your gear from your time in military service.
Perhaps your favorite gun was handed down to you by a
parent who was in law enforcement.
Wealth and Currency
Though most trade and purchases occur with the exchange of
money for products, the concept of wealth and valuables
aside from just monetary value still prevails in these times.
Trade goods, minerals, precious stones, and collectibles are
sometimes bartered for their monetary value.
Selling Loot
Opportunities abound to find treasure, gear, weapons, armor,
and more during your expeditions. Normally, you can sell
your gains in any store that specializes in trade ins (such as
pawn shops), provided that you can find buyers interested in
your loot. Never expect to get full price for items you try to
sell, especially if it's to an established shop -- they have to
make a profit afterall.
50
Arms, Armor, and Gear: As a general rule, undamaged
weapons, armor, and other equipment fetch half their cost
when sold in trade. Weapons and armor used by defeated
enemies are rarely in good enough condition to sell.
Gems, Jewelry, and Collectibles: These items retain their
full value in the marketplace, and you can either trade them
in for money or use them as currency for other transactions.
For exceptionally valuable treasures, the DM might require
you to find a buyer in a more "well off" part of town.
Trade Goods: In the slums, many people conduct
transactions through barter. Like gems and art objects, trade
goods: ore, foodstuffs, gear parts, medicine, and so on retain
their full value in trade and can be used as a form of currency.
Currency
Different types of currency has different exchange rates, and
different values of currencies inevitably creates change. To
top it off, one can only carry a small amount of the metal
discs before they start to weigh you down. What a hassle!
Cyberdungeons uses a more streamlined form of universal
digital currency called credits (cd) to eliminate all the trouble
caused by physical currency. It's universal, doesn't weigh
anything, and never leaves you calculating change.
In the Player's Handbook, it's stated that coins are a
"standard unit of measure for wealth, even if the coin is not
commonly used" (143). This means that something can be
worth a thousand gold coins, but one could use a couple gold
bricks to buy it. This is to say that the coins are valuable
because they represent their weight in the precious metal
they're made of. This is an excellent representation of a trade
and barter system, with one major flaw: it doesn't represent
the currency of a more advanced society.
Thanks to incredible advancements in the medical industry
(referring to the real world), the human population was able
to explode in the last 200 years. While many see this as a
good thing, it caused a problem where countries began to
have a higher population than their gold supply could fund --
forcing them to abandon the gold standard one by one. I'm
not an economist, but I do have somewhat of a grasp on this
topic.
Essentially, when countries operate on a gold (or other
metal) standard, each dollar of their currency represents a
portion of gold -- much like how the coins in core D&D
represent a portion of precious metal. Eventually, there's so
many people with hundreds of thousands of dollars that the
value of gold begins to drop, threating the economy of the
entire country.
To fix this, countries leave the gold standard. The solution
stabilizes the price of gold, but causes a new problem -- their
currency doesn't have any real world value that can be backed
up with a physical result. In addition to causing inflation, this
result means that their dollars (like the US dollar) only have
value because people say it does. Obviously there's more at
play, but this is a good explanation that doesn't take up too
much space.
Credits have the same idea. In a world with dozens upon
dozens of megacities and billions of people, countries can't
thrive on the gold standard. Credits only have value because
society says they do, and I thought the idea of a cyberpunk
world relying on digital currency with no physical
representation just makes sense.
How exactly credits are stored, used, and stolen is left up to
your DM. Items like Shepard Chips might store them for
example.
A credit is equal to one silver piece. Below is a conversion
table for all of the coin types in the Player's Handbook.

Armor
There are many different styles of armor that vary between
different cultures, races, and manufacturers. Below you can
find some of the more advanced forms of armor, though you
would likely be able to find more classical medieval. Due to
the advancements in weapons manufacturing, armor has
become an absolute necessity for anyone traveling in unsafe
districts of their city. Traveling through slums without at least
an undercover vest is a risky proposition indeed.
The Armor table shows the cost, weight, and other
properties of the common types of armor worn in more
modern times.
Armor Proficiency. Anyone can put on a suit of armor or
strap a shield to an arm. However, only those proficient in the
armor 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.
Armor Class (AC). Armor protects its wearer from attacks.
The armor (and shield) you wear determines your base
Armor Class.
Heavy Armor. Heavier armor interferes with the wearer’s
ability to move quickly, stealthily, 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 10 feet
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.
Shields. A shield is made from metal, polymer, energy, or
reinforced glass, and is carried in one hand. Wielding a shield
increases your Armor Class by 2. You can benefit from only
one shield at a time.
Light Armor
Made from supple and thin materials, light armor favors agile
adventurers since it offers some protection without
sacrificing mobility. If you wear light armor, you add your
Dexterity modifier to the base number from your armor type
to determine your Armor Class.
Armor Jacket: Lined with a protective mesh, this light
jacket provides adequate protection while still allowing full
movement without restriction.
Heavy Coat: An overcoat, made of leather or heavy cloth.
Infiltration Suit: A full body suit made from high grade
polymer blends. Expensive but effective.
Kevlar-Lined Coat: Kevlar is a plastic with a very high
tensile strength and a well-known component of personal
armor.
Leather Jacket: A thick leather jacket popular among
Light Trooper: A padded suit with a hardened flexible
overlay. Standard issue for most grunts.
Light Undercover Shirt: Designed for deep undercover
work in which it’s critical that the wearer not appear to be
armed or armored, this garment consists of a T-shirt with a
band of light protective material sewn in around the lower
torso.
Undercover Vest: Covering a larger area of the torso, this
vest provides better protection than the light undercover
shirt, though it’s also more easily noticed. It’s best used when
the armor should remain unseen but the wearer doesn’t
expect to face much scrutiny.
Medium Armor
Medium armor offers more protection than light armor, but it
also impairs movement more. If you wear medium armor, you
add your Dexterity modifier, to a maximum of +2, to the base
number from your armor type to determine your Armor
Class.
Concealable Vest: Standard issue in many police forces,
this vest provides maximum protection in a garment that can
be worn all day long under regular clothing. While it may go
unnoticed by a quick glance, it is usually visible to anyone
looking closely for it.
Light-Duty Vest: A lightweight tactical vest designed for
extended use by riot police and forces on alert for potential
attack, this armor sacrifices a degree of protection for a
modicum of comfort – at least compared to other tactical
body armors.
Medium Trooper: Much like the light variant, this is a suit
of layered padding with a chest piece and guards made of
tempered polymer plating.
Military Jacket: Popular amongst officers and
mercenaries, this jacket’s interior is lined with protective
plates and hard padding.
Nanoweave Suit: This variant of the trooper armor has
been fortified with a coating made of nanocarbons fused over
the protective plate.
Reinforced Mesh: Multiple layers of micro-woven fiber
mesh. It most often comes in the form of a vest or torso
covering.
51
 Tactical Vest: The standard body armor for police tactical
units, this vest provides full-torso protection in the toughest
flexible protective materials available.
Heavy Armor
Of all the armor categories, heavy armor offers the best
protection. These suits of armor cover the entire body and
are designed to stop a wide range of attacks. Only proficient
warriors can manage their weight and bulk.
Heavy armor doesn’t let you add your Dexterity modifier to
your Armor Class, but it also doesn’t penalize you if your
Dexterity modifier is negative.
Centurion: A suit of heavy trooper armor outfitted with a
tempered multi-alloy chest piece with protective shoulder and
leg guards. This armor is often limited to high-ranking
soldiers and elite infantry.
Forced Entry Unit: The most powerful protection
available is built into this suit, which consists of a heavy torso
jacket with ceramic plates over the chest and back, neck and
groin guards, arm protection and a helmet. Heavy and
cumbersome, this armor is generally only donned by tactical
officers heading into a dangerous assault. Forced Entry Units
require an armor energy cell (found in the utilities part gear
section) to function.
Fusion Armor: The best in full body protection, this high-
grade armor is made from fused meteoric alloys and
bolstered with an additional layer of fullerene polymers.
Guardian: Often made of inexpensive material, this bulky
armor is a combination of thick padding, rigid metal plates
and mesh weaving. It is popular amongst higher ranking
sprawl gangers and bunker sentries.
Heavy Trooper: This is a full suit of reinforced mesh
underneath a layer of interlocking plates made from
hardened composite. Armored gloves and boots are included
as well.
Land Warrior Armor: Land Warrior Armor is designed to
improve the connectivity and combat effectiveness of
personnel in the army. Improvements include modernized
body armor, a helmet with a mounted flashlight, integrated
communication systems, and a special eye monitor (infrared
goggles).
Special Response Vest: Built like the tactical vest, but
incorporating groin and neck protection as well as a ceramic
plate over the chest, this armor provides additional protection
in battles against heavily armed opponents.
Shields
Shields come in multiple designs – curved, cornered,
composite, energy, etc. All work along the same function,
being worn on the off hand and used manually against
incoming attacks.
Retractable Shield: Personally powered shield that
quickly expands from the user’s arm. A retracted shield
doesn’t increase your Armor Class, but you can attempt to
conceal it with a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check. Extending
or retracting the shield is a free action.
Riot Shield: A riot shield is a large shield made of tough,
transparent plastic, providing cover without hindering sight.

If your class offers a simple or martial melee weapon, you can
choose any weapon of the same type (simple or martial) from
this book.
If your class offers a specific simple ranged weapon and
ammunition, such as the light crossbow with bolts or
shortbow with arrows, you can instead choose any simple
gun you have proficiency with. If your class offers a specific
martial ranged weapon with ammunition, such as a longbow
and arrows, you can instead choose any martial blaster you
have proficiency with.

XGE causes ranged weapon attacks to cause an
extra 1D6 fire damage on a hit. This would also
apply to sci-fi guns and other ranged weapon
attacks.
Weapon Properties
Many weapons have special properties related to their use, as
shown in the Weapons table.
Ammo. Same as the Ammunition property on page 146 of
the Player's Handbook, with the exception that you cannot
regain any spent ammunition after the battle by searching the
battlefield.

disadvantage instead. These attacks always have
disadvantage, regardless of circumstance.
Blaster. A weapon with the Blaster property is a ranged
weapon that requires no ammunition. Blasters are
considered firearms for the purpose of class features and
abilities. You don’t add your ability score modifier to a
blasters’ damage rolls.
Burst Fire. A weapon that has the burst fire property can
make a normal single-target attack, or it can spray a 10-foot-
cube area within normal range with shots. Each creature in
the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take
the weapon's normal damage (DC equals to 12 + your
proficiency bonus if proficient). This action uses ten pieces of
ammunition and it cannot be affected by any of the special
"shot" attacks from the Firearms Expert feat.
Covert. You have advantage on Dexterity (Sleight on
Hands) checks to conceal this weapon.
CQB. You have advantage on attack rolls made against
targets within 20 feet or less from you. CQB stands for Close
Quarters Battle.
Foregrip. This weapon can be used with one or two hands.
If used in two hands, its normal and long ranges double.
Loud. This weapon produces a considerable amount of
noise. When used in an attack, all creatures that can hear
within a predetermined range of the attack become aware of
the weapon and the general direction it's in. This may attract
more creatures that are nearby.
Mounted. This weapon is normally used while attached to
a tripod, vehicle, or other bracing mount. You can mount or
unmount this weapon as an action. While it is mounted, it
can't be moved. It can only be used to make an attack while
unmounted if held by a Medium or larger creature with a
Strength score of at least 15.
Nonlethal. When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points
using this weapon, you can choose to knock the creature out,
rendering it unconscious, rather than deal a killing blow.
Reload. The weapon can be fired a number of times equal
to its Reload score before you must spend an action or a
bonus action to reload. You must have one free hand to reload
a weapon.
Scatter. If you make an attack against a target that is
within half this weapon’s normal range, you deal the damage
value listed in parentheses instead of the weapon’s normal
damage dice.
Sighted. This weapon has disadvantage on attack rolls
made against targets within 20 feet.
Unbalanced. If you make an attack with this weapon and
miss you become unbalanced, either suffering disadvantage
on the next attack made before the end of your next turn or
granting advantage against the next attack made against you
before the end of your next turn (whichever comes first).
If you wield a one handed weapon with this property in two
hands, ignore this property.

Melee Weapon Descriptions
These weapons might be found on the black market,
purchased inside weapon shops, lifted from a pulverized
corpse, or anywhere else one finds weapons.
Antimatter Dagger. Favored by assassins and infiltrators,
the antimatter dagger isn't truly a dagger. Rather, the handle
produces a short beam of unstable energy known as
antimatter that causes flesh to decay at an accelerated rate.
Ballistic Gloves. These gloves are characterized by a
cylindrical grip in the palms that absorbs kinetic energy from
attacks made with it. The absorbed kinetic energy is then
transfered to the knuckles, where it's converted into a
deafening release of sound against the target.
Baton, Metal. Metal batons are little more than advanced
clubs. The main difference is their ability to collapse into
themselves, allowing them to be transported easier.
Baton, Stun. Stun batons are a more forgiving version of
metal batons. Commonly used by law enforcement, these
weapons are designed to subdue, not to kill.
Brass Knuckles. Brass knuckles are simple weapons
designed to concentrate the force of a punch into a smaller
and more direct area, and occupy only the palm and knuckle
area of the hand. You may perform the somatic component of
spells while you are wielding brass knuckles. Additionally, it's
possible to customize the ends of your brass knuckles,
allowing you to imprint certain designs into your targets.
Custom brass knuckles with these designs cost an
additional 50 cd.
Chainsaw. Traditionally used for woodcutting, chainsaws
make for an effective and intimidating weapon for anyone
skilled enough to effectively wield it in combat. Chainsaws
require fuel to run (typically a mixture of gasoline and oil),
and must be refueled periodically.
Energy Staff. A great staff that became popularized with
the advancement of technology and energy weapons, both
ends of this steel staff crackle with electricity.
High Frequency Sword. The high frequency sword is
made of a durable metal alloy many times tougher than steel.
It features a monofilament edge -- the sharpest piece possible
for modern technology. Inside the blade itself are microscopic
machines that cause the blade to vibrate at incredibly high
speeds, causing the sword to "hum" or vibrate at incredibly
high frequencies. Though the wielder of the weapon is
shielded from these vibrations by a soft hilt, any character or
object struck by the high frequency sword finds that the
weapon is given extra cutting power thanks to its
technological enhancements. When you attack a creature
that doesn't have resistance to slashing damage, you gain a
+2 bonus on the attack and damage rolls made with this
weapon.

 Microfilament Whip. This whip is made from many braided Rocket Hammer. The unstable rocket hammer is the

Ranged Weapon Descriptions
'Most everyone loves firearms and has at least a vague
understanding of how to use them. The trick is knowing how
to identify and choose the firearm that suits you. These
descriptions should help with that.
Blitz Cannon. With its imposing rectangular muzzle, this
brutalist weapon has a clear right and wrong end to be on.
Pulling its trigger unleashes a torrent of miniature lightning
bolts in a wide, imprecise spray, making it extremely
dangerous at point-blank range. Blitz cannons take fusion
cells instead of regular ammunition.
Dart Gun. This air-dart gun fires a needle via an air
compressor. The needle itself inflicts no damage, but it can
deliver an injection with any poison or injection based drug to
the target. Each dart costs .5 credits, and a vial of poison or
one dose of drug can coat three darts. You can read more
about poisons in the chapter 8 of the Dungeon Master's
Guide, and drugs in Part 5 of this book.
Diode Beam. Typically used as a mounted weapon, the
diode beam fires a powerful beam of radiant energy that can
incinerate a common person in one hit.
Flamethrower. A flamethrower consists of a pressurized
backpack containing fuel, connected to a tube with a nozzle.
It shoots a 5-foot-wide, 30 foot-long line of flame. Any
creature caught in the line of flame must make a DC 15
Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 fire damage on a failed
save, or half as much on a successful one.
Alternatively, the user can modify the flamethrower to expel
fire in a 15 foot cone. This modification takes about two
minutes to complete, and can be reversed back and forth as
desired.
A flamethrower’s backpack has 10 hit points and an AC of
10. A backpack reduced to 0 hit points ruptures and explodes,
engulfing the wearer and each creature within a 10-foot
radius of the wearer in a violent ball of flame. Each creature
engulfed in this way (except the wearer) must make a DC 15
Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 fire damage on a failed
save, or half as much on a successful one. The wearer
automatically fails the save. A flamethrower with no fuel left
cannot rupture in this manner.
Properties
Ammo (range 60/180), loud 250 ft., reload 12
handed
handed
Blaster (range 120/360), loud 400 ft., sighted, two-handed
A flamethrower can shoot 10 times before the fuel supply
is depleted. Refilling or replacing a fuel pack costs 50 credits.
Grenade Launcher. This weapon allows you to propel any
explosive with the grenade type up to 120 feet away. You can
target a specific area, or a creature directly using a grenade
launcher. The grenade effect occurs immediately as it lands.
If a creature is targeted (and hit) with a grenade launcher, you
deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage to that creature before the
grenade explodes.
Ion Cannon. The ion cannon always fires its bright,
energetic blast is a diffuse cone, making it far deadlier up
close. After firing, ion cannons make a quiet zipping noise as
it recharges itself for another blast.
Light Machinegun. These firearms are the top of the line
in terms of automatic weapons. Few firearms can surpass its
ability to kill, and those that can generally can't be wielded by
a single person.
Phaser. Phasers are not designed for effectiveness so
much as portability and non-lethality. These blasters are often
issued to peace-keepers and emissaries that require personal
defense but have no intent to kill others.
Pistol, Heavy. Heavy pistols are the largest and heaviest
pistols available on the market. Their larger size allows them
to pack a serious punch.
Pistol, Light. Smaller and somewhat less dangerous than
heavier or more advanced pistols, light pistols are simple
handguns produced to be cost effective over anything else.
Pistol, Machine. Machine pistols have more advanced
firing capabilities, allowing it to spray bullets out in a deadly
burst fire pattern.
REC Gun. The Revolving Exothermic Cannon (or REC
gun, for short) operates on the same principle as a
conventional blaster, with an arcane battery hooked up to an
aperture barrel and so forth, but mounts several blasters on a
revolving cylinder, each firing in rapid succession to produce
devastating effects.
Repeater. The quintessential handheld blaster, the
repeater is a staple on the galactic frontier. Solid, reliable, and
packing just enough firepower to bring down an assailant,
nearly every explorer worth their salt has one of these
strapped to their hip.

Explosive Descriptions
Explosives come in three different types: grenades, planted,
and sticks. Not every type is available for every explosive,
though many explosives come in more than one type. Each
type of explosive has different rules on how they function, as
detailed below.
Grenades
When using a grenade, it’s considered a simple ranged
weapon (range 30/60)
If a grenade requires a saving throw, the DC is 8 + your
Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus. Tear gas
grenades use their own DC.
Grenades weigh half a pound.
Planted Explosives
You need a detonator for each planted explosive you use
(detailed in the gear section).
The saving throw DC for planted explosives is 17.
Planted explosives generally weigh around a pound per
use.
Stick Explosives
Stick Explosives are generally only Dynamite.
Stick Explosives can be bundled together as their
individual rules state.
Additionally, all explosive types follow the same universal
rules:
Explosives deal damage to everything within their radius.
This includes creatures, items, vehicles, buildings, and
everything else. Inanimate objects automatically fail
saving throws to avoid the blast.
Explosives ignore resistance to nonmagical damage, and
treat immunity to nonmagical damage as resistance.
Unless otherwise stated, all creatures within the radius of
an explosive when it goes off is automatically stunned for
1d4 rounds. Creatures outside the blast radius may also
be stunned from the concussive force of the explosion at
the DM's discretion.
Explosives detonate in a spherical shape unless stated
otherwise.
Dynamite
Dynamite is a mixture of nitroglycerin and other absorbent
materials typically molded into sticks.
Stick. As an action, a creature can light a stick of dynamite
and throw it at a point up to 60 feet away. Each creature
within 5 feet of that point must make a DC 12 Dexterity
saving throw, taking 1d6 thunder damage on a failed save, or
half as much damage on a successful one. A character can
bind sticks of dynamite together so they explode at the same
time. Each additional stick increases the damage by 1d6 (to a
maximum of 10d6) and the burst radius by 5 feet (to a
maximum of 50 feet). Dynamite can be rigged with a longer
fuse to explode after a set amount of time, usually 1 to 6
rounds. Roll initiative for dynamite. After the set number of
rounds goes by, the dynamite explodes on that initiative.
The dynamite is considered to be a simple explosive for the
purpose of manufacturing it, and weigh half a pound.
EMP
An EMP is an electromagnetic pulse that shorts out all
electronic devices within a radius.
Grenade. As an action, a character can throw a grenade at
a point. Upon detonation, the grenade releases an EMP pulse
that instantly shorts out all electronic devices in a 20-foot
radius. Affected devices remain nonfunctional until repaired.
The pulse deals no damage to flesh based creatures.
However, a creature with cybernetic attachments takes 1d4
lightning damage per cybernetic attachment and must
succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be stunned
for 1d4 rounds. Electricity based constructs (such as robots,
but not warforged) take 2d12 lightning damage and must
succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or fall
unconscious.
EMP grenades are a complex explosive.
Flashbang
A flashbang is a non-lethal explosive device used to
temporarily disorient an enemy's senses. It is designed to
produce a blinding flash of light and an intensely loud "bang"
without causing permanent injury.
Grenade. As an action, a character can throw a flashbang
at a point. Each creature within 20 feet of the point must
make a Dexterity saving throw or be blinded and deafened
until the end of your next turn.
Flashbang grenades are a simple explosive.
Fragmentation
These explosives are designed to disperse lethal fragments
on detonation. The body is generally made of a hard synthetic
material or steel, which will provide some fragmentation as
shards and splinters.
Grenade. As an action, a character can throw a grenade at
a point. Each creature within 20 feet of the point must make
a Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 piercing damage on a
failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Gear Descriptions
Ammunition
Ammunition functions on a "common sense" ruleset,
meaning that it can fit into any firearm that it makes sense to
do so.
Fusion Cell. Fusion cells are unique ammunition that use
the power of fusion to generate massive amounts of power.
This ammunition is designed for high end energy weapons
such as the Blitz Cannon.
Machinegun Belts. Machinegun bullets are typically
linked together in a chain, allowing the firearm to rapidly fire
them and making it easier to load them into the weapon, at
the cost of an increased weight. A standard belt comes with
10 bullets, but may be expanded an additional 10 bullets any
number of times, assuming you pay the same amount for
each additional 10 bullets and factor in the increased weight.
Pistol Bullets. Pistol bullets go into any pistol shaped
firearm, such as the light pistol and heavy pistol. They are
also used for revolvers.
Rifle Bullets. Longer and meaner looking than any other
bullet, rifle bullets almost resemble a spear, a shape that
allows them to travel greater distances.
Shotgun Shells. Shotgun shells come in two types:
buckshot and slugs. Buckshot shells contain around 10 of
tiny pellets shot out to shred the target, while slugs are
incredibly thick, stubby bullets. The impact has the same
effect either way.
Detonators
Every planted explosive needs a detonator, and it can be
detonated manually, automatically, or after a determined time
depending on the detonator used.
Remote Detonator, Radio. A small radio device that trips
a trigger when it picks up the detonator's frequency (usually
after pressing a button, or a switch). Can be used to make
dead man's switches, where the explosive goes off if the
person holding the trigger dies. As an action, you can
detonate the explosive remotely if you are within 1,000 feet of
it.
Remote Detonator, Wired. This detonator is connected to
the explosive via a physical wire. The shape of the detonator
ranges from levers to small buttons. Wired detonators can
also be used to create dead man's switches, where the
explosive goes of if the person holding the trigger dies. As an
action, you can detonate the explosive remotely if you are
within 300 feet from it.
62
Timed. When planting the explosive with a timer, you must
determine the number of rounds, minutes, or hours for the
countdown, up to 10 hours. When the countdown ends, the
explosive is detonated.
trigger will explode when a creature stands on the detonator.
Trigger, Proximity. When you arm a planted explosive with
a proximity trigger detonator, it explodes when a creature
explosive, you can reduce the detection radius to a minimum
of 5 feet of the explosive.
Trigger, Trip. The explosive is connected to a 20 foot trip
wire, and when a creature passes through the wire, the
explosive detonates. A creature can make a Wisdom
(Perception) check to detect the wire (DC 12).
Firearms Accessories
Most of the firearms can be equipped with one or more
accessories to improve them. Every accessory has a weapon
compatibility, showing which accessories are available for
each firearm.
Combined Module. The Combined Module is a
multifunctional gadget that combines a laser sight and a
tactical flashlight. You can use a bonus action to toggle
between the laser sight and the tactical flashlight. You can
also use a bonus action to turn it on or off.
While you have the laser sight on, you gain a +1 bonus on
attack rolls with that firearm.
While you have the tactical flashlight on, the light
illuminates a 20-foot cone in bright light and illuminates an
additional 20 feet in dim light.
Weapon compatibility: Any non-special firearm. You cannot
add it to a weapon that already has a laser sight or a tactical
flashlight.
Concealed Holster. A concealed holster is designed to
help keep a weapon out of sight. In most cases, this is a
shoulder holster or a waistband holster. While the weapon
remains in the holster, it gains the covert property. A
character can carry up to three concealed holsters (two
shoulder holsters and one waistband holster)
Weapon compatibility: Dart guns, pistols, revolvers,
phasers, and Taser guns.
Bayonet. Little more than a simple knife attached to the
end of a firearm, bayonets have been used to increase the
effectiveness of firearms in a physical attack for as long as
firearms have been around.
You can use an action to attach a dagger to the end of your
firearm. You can use this dagger in a standard melee attack
while wielding your firearm, or you can use an action to take
it off your firearm and use it as normal. The attachment
ability causes it to cost a bit more than a standard dagger.
Weapon compatibility: Any non-special martial firearm,
excluding the blitz cannon, diode beam, and REC gun.
Deployable Bipod. Bipods are commonly used on
weapons to provide a forward rest and reduce motion. They
are also seen on other long-barreled weapons, such as sniper
rifles. Bipods permit operators to easily rest a weapon on
objects, like the ground or a wall, reducing their fatigue and
increasing accuracy and stability.
You must use your action to deploy or retract the bipod. While
you have the bipod deployed, you gain advantage when
shooting over 100 feet. To deploy a bipod you must be prone
or in a stable shooting position. If you have the bipod
deployed and shoot without being prone or in a stable
shooting position, you have disadvantage.
Weapon compatibility: Rifles and light machineguns.
Laser Sight. This gadget is a small laser placed on a
handgun or a rifle and aligned to emit a visible beam parallel
to the barrel to assist in shooting. The laser color can be any
color you want, though is typically red or green to provide the
best visibility.
While you have the laser sight on, you gain a +1 bonus on
attack rolls with that firearm. You can use a bonus action to
turn the laser on or off.
Weapon compatibility: Any firearm that has a range greater
than 180 feet. You cannot add it to a weapon that already has
a combined module or a tactical flashlight.
Laser Sight, Infrared. This laser sight uses an infrared
diode to produce a dot invisible to the eye but detectable with
infrared devices.
While you have the laser sight on, you gain a +1 bonus on
attack rolls with that firearm if you can see in infrared. You
can use a bonus action to turn the laser on or off.
Weapon compatibility: Any firearm that has a range greater
than 180 feet. You cannot add it to a weapon that already has
a combined module or a tactical flashlight.
Scope. Scopes are used to increase the normal range of a
weapon, allowing the user to shoot farther without having
disadvantage on targeting. Scopes increase the range of the
firearm they're attached to by 50%. Scopes don't provide any
benefit in darkness.
Weapon compatibility: Any rifle. You can only add one
scope to a weapon.
Scope, Thermal. The thermal scope is a sighting device
combining a compact thermographic camera and an aiming
reticle. It creates a visual based on the temperature of objects
and creatures, allowing you to easily detect any source of
heat, such as a creature. This allows you to easily track
targets in darkness, as well as through walls. Like the regular
scope, this also increases the effective range of your weapon
by 50%.
Weapon compatibility: Any rifle. You can only add one
scope to a weapon.
Speed Loader. A speed loader holds 6 bullets in a ring, in
a position that mirrors the chambers in a revolver cylinder,
allowing the character to insert all bullets at once. Using a
speed loader you can reload a revolver using a bonus action.
You can use an action to put 6 bullets in an empty speed
loader for future uses.
Weapon compatibility: Revolvers.
Suppressor. A suppressor is a device attached to the barrel
of a firearm which reduces (but doesn't negate) the amount of
noise and visible muzzle flash generated by firing.
When you make a ranged attack with a suppressed
weapon, you don't automatically reveal your location while
hiding. Any creature within 20 feet from the weapon can still
hear the gunshot, but not necessarily where it originated. You
can use your action to add or remove the suppressor from the
weapon.
Weapon compatibility: Any ranged weapon except the REC
Gun and Diode Beam with the Loud property.
Tactical Flashlight. While you have the tactical flashlight
on, the light illuminates a 20-foot cone in bright light and
illuminates an additional 20 feet in dim light. You can use a
bonus action to turn the flashlight on or off.
Weapon compatibility: Any. You cannot add it to a weapon
that already has a combined module or a laser sight (normal
or infrared).
Special Ammunition
Each of these projectiles carries a load of some chemical (or
alchemical) material inside, such as white phosphorus (fire),
holy water (holy), or ultraviolet fluid (radiant). When it hits a
target, the projectile shatters, releasing the material directly
into the target. When you hit a creature with special
ammunition, you deal an extra 1d4 damage of that
ammunitions type.
When you hit fiend or undead creatures with holy
ammunition, you deal an extra 1d6 radiant damage instead.
All special ammunition (except the two shotgun shells
listed) can be made to replace any ammunition type except
fusion cells. If made to replace machine gun belts, they
replace 1 belt (10 bullets).
Breaching Shotgun Shells. These shells are specially
designed to destroy door deadbolts, locks, and hinges without
risking lives by ricocheting or flying on at lethal speed
through the door, as traditional buckshot can. These shells
deal double damage to doors.
Silvered Ammunition. This ammunition follows the same
rules detailed in page 148 of the Player's Handbook for
silvered weapons.
XREP Shotgun Shells. These shells are long-range
wireless electro-shock projectiles. A XREP shell deals
lightning damage on a hit and the creature must make a
Constitution saving throw (DC 15) or be paralyzed until the
start of your next turn.
Utilities
This section describes items that have special rules or
require further explanation.
Antitoxin. A creature that drinks or is injected with this
liquid gains advantage on saving throws against poison for 1
hour. It confers no benefit to constructs or undead.
Bandolier. This shoulder strap contains six pouches large
enough to hold a potion, grenade, or similarly sized item
within easy reach. It can hold 10 pounds of gear.
Battery. An electric battery is a device consisting of one or
more electrochemical cells with external connections
provided to power electrical devices such as flashlights and
metal detectors.
Binoculars. Objects viewed through the binoculars are
magnified to twice their size.
Bolt Cutters. Bolt cutters are large tools designed to cut
through padlocks and smaller chains. A creature with bolt
cutters can attempt to make a DC 13 Strength check to use
them to cut through any appropriately sized metal object,
rendering it broken and useless on a success.
Breathing Filter. This filter easily fits around a humanoids
mouth and nose to filter out large particles such as dust and
pollution. It does not filter out gases.
63
 Briefcase. Made from leather and plastic. Briefcases have
mechanical locks that require either a key or a combination
to open, and can hold around 20 pounds. Objects inside
briefcases must be roughly the same shape as it (you can't put
a globe inside one for instance).
Camera, Still. A cheaper disposable camera typically used
by tourists that requires the photos to be developed after the
shots are taken. Their simple design makes it impossible for
them to record any form of video. Still cameras can only hold
15 photos before running out of film.
Camera, Video. A more advanced and commonly used
camera that can take higher quality photos, as well as videos.
Photos and videos taken from video cameras can be viewed
at any time from the camera, and can be digitally uploaded to
a computer, smartphone, or other similar device.
Chemical, Plastiflesh. Contained in a small spray can,
plastiflesh bonds with human skin on contact and accelerates
the healing process by providing a layer of artificial skin to
seal the wound. A creature can use an action to spray
plastiflesh onto any open wound to help it heal. The target of
the spray immediately recovers 1d4 hit points. One can of
plastiflesh has three uses.
Chemical, Sporekill. A chemical found in many first aid
kits, sporekill is a special hypodermic injection that can be
used to neutralize the effects of most diseases. Each sporekill
injector contains a specialized analyzer linked to chemical
generators. When the needle penetrates the skin of the
target, it samples the target’s blood and sends the data back
to the analyzer, which determines the nature of the disease
and generates an antidote from stored chemical compounds.
Once the sporekill delivers its specially formulated chemicals,
the target creature is completely cured of the disease and its
effects in 1d10 hours. Some genetically engineered diseases
are created to circumvent sporekill chemical, and are
unaffected by this piece of gear.
Comm Set. Using this handheld device, you can verbally
communicate with any creature within 1-mile that also has a
comm set. A comm set can be connected to a headset worn
on the ear or can be talked into directly. Its signal can
penetrate most barriers, but is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 2
feet of metal, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.
Compass. A standard compass that uses the magnetic
poles to give the user a sense of direction. Mostly obsolete in
the modern day as most (if not all) smartphones have a
compass installed in them.
Computer, Desktop. This can be any large computing
platform, such as a client workstation or server. The typical
desktop computer has several terabytes of storage space, a
high-quality monitor and a broadband or modem access to
the Internet.
Computer, Laptop. A portable version of a desktop
computer. In general, laptops are as not as fast or powerful as
desktops, but they're great for portability.
Datapad. A common gadget is used to store personal
information, search for data on terminals, communicate with
others (non-vocally), and transfer credits. You can enter text
by hand into a datapad or draw in it using a stylus as if it were
a notebook, and search these notes with one-word queries.
64
Datapads within 5 miles of each other can communicate
with each other through written messages, provided both
datapads have exchanged a comm number. This
communication is limited to one text-based message (128
characters) every minute. Lastly, datapads are often used to
access an account with the users bank, which they can use to
view and access how many credits they have.
When you get a datapad, you also lock it with a password
that you likely keep secret. Only someone with the password
can access the datapad (barring unauthorized access, which
can be accomplished following the hacking rules in part 5).
Diving Gear. This set of gear includes a wetsuit, oxygen
supply, and attachments for underwater maneuvering. While
using this gear, you ignore any underwater movement
penalties and have advantage on any Strength (Athletics) rolls
required for swimming checks made underwater. You gain no
benefit from this item if you are wearing any armor.
Duracable. Strong as steel, flexible as rubber, and almost
as light as normal rope, duracable replaces most cables and
ropes as the standard device for lifting, pulling, and support.
Duracable is made of lightweight and durable wiring
wrapped hundreds of times in a swirl that reinforces itself as
more stress is placed on the coil. Duracable has 25 hit points
and an AC of 20, and is able to support up to 5 metric tons of
weight.
ECM Jammer. An ECM jammer has 10 charges. As an
action, you can expend one charge and turn the ECM jammer
on, disabling cameras and impeding all incoming and
outgoing wireless communication, including smartphones,
radio detonators, Wi-Fi and similar within 100 feet from the
ECM jammer for 5 minutes. When the last charge is used the
jammer becomes worthless.
Energy Cell, Armor. A special energy cell designed to fuel
powered armors. An energy cell contains enough power for a
powered armor to work properly for 24 hours.
Fire extinguisher. The extinguisher has 10 charges. As an
action, you can expend one charge to extinguish a 5-foot area
of fire.
Flare. A flare is a foot-long, brightly colored stick with a
plastic cap. You can strike the bottom of the flare as an
action, causing the flare to bursts into a bright, colored flame,
matching that of the stick. This flame burns for 10 minutes,
emitting a 40-foot radius of bright light and dim light for an
additional 20 feet. A flare will still burn underwater, but not in
a vacuum. You can choose the color of the flare.
Flashlight. A portable hand-held electric light. A flashlight
has 5 charges, and consumes one charge for every hour it's
turned on. As a bonus action, you can turn the flashlight on,
illuminating a 60-foot cone and dim light for an additional 60
feet. You can use a bonus action to turn the flashlight off.
When all charges are expended, a flashlight can be refilled
with two batteries, at which point it will regain all charges.
Flash Goggles. Designed to provide protection against any
blinding effects from bright light. While using flash goggles,
you are resistant to any nonmagical blinding affects.
Flight Suit. A flight suit is a specialized suit designed to
keep pilots and airstaff warm while in the upper atmosphere.
Flight suits usually resemble a jumpsuit that can be worn
under a regular outfit, but can come in different styles as well.
Gas Mask. This mask is used to protect the user from
inhaling airborne pollutants and toxic gases. The mask forms
a sealed cover over the nose and mouth, but may also cover
the eyes and other vulnerable soft tissues of the face. While
wearing the mask you are resistant to inhaled poisons,
airborne diseases, or any other inhaled gas based detriment.
Geiger Counter. This simple tube is filled with inert gas
that conducts electricity when impacted by high energy
particles, making it able to detect beta particles and gamma
rays. When a geiger counter is within radiation, its meter
ticks up to indicate the radiation level in the 5-foot square it is
in or the radiation level of an item or creature it is pressed
against.
GPS. A GPS (global positioning system) provides
geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver
anywhere on or near your current plane where there is an
unobstructed line of sight to one or more GPS satellites.
Grappler Tag. Often used in conjunction with duracable,
the grappler tag is a small disc roughly six inches in diameter.
When placed against a solid surface, the grappler tag
attaches to that surface by magnetism (if the surface is
ferrous) or by an array of nearly microscopic metal barbs (if
not). The tag can then be attached to duracable and used as
an anchor for climbing, pulling, or any other purpose. A
button on the top of the disc releases the grappler tag’s hold.
Handbag. Handbags are small stylish bags that can hold
about 7 pounds of weight, provided the object is small
enough to fit in it. Despite the name, they're typically strung
around the shoulder.
Hazmat Suit. While wearing this bulky suit (which can
only fit over light suits of armor), a creature suffers
disadvantage to Dexterity saves and checks. While wearing a
hazmat suit, the user gains immunity to any nonmagical
airborne detriments they may encounter (such as diseases or
poisons). Additionally, creatures in hazmat suits are shielded
from radiation, taking half damage from radiation levels of 7
or below.
but gains immunity to poison damage and the poisoned
condition from non-gas attacks. In addition, the wearer’s
Irradiated ability score is immune to the effects of radiation
(though not the fire damage the radiation might deal).
Hologram Player. A hologram player is a small disc with
several small light projectors arranged around its outer edge.
When activated, the device projects a translucid three
dimensional image as small as a 3-inch cube or as large as a
10-foot cube.
The hologram player can be hooked into a hologram
recorder (capable of storing three dimensional images), or
even to a computer to receive three dimensional images for
real time communications.
Hologram Recorder. A hologram recorder is a cylinder no
larger than a pen with a bulbous, transparent cap on one end.
The cap on the end is the recording device, and records
everything within a 30 foot cone facing away from the top of
the cap. The device can make a three dimensional recording
of anything within its cone shaped recording area. Hologram
recorders can store up to one hour of three dimensional
images to be played back on a hologram player or transferred
to a computer as video data. Most hologram recorders can
also be attached to a computer to serve as a video input
device for real time holographic communications.
The hologram recorder is commonly carried by law
enforcement agents, as it allows for the accurate collection of
evidence.
Hypodermic Needle. This syringe can directly inject a
substance into someone’s bloodstream. You can load a liquid,
such as a potion of healing, into a hypodermic needle as a
bonus action, then administer it to another creature as an
action on your turn. If the creature is unwilling, you must
make a melee weapon attack to do so.
Infrared Goggles. An infrared goggles has 10 charges. As
a bonus action, you can expend one charge to turn them on to
see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light,
and in darkness as if it were dim light for 10 minutes. You
can't discern color in darkness and the image color produced
is typically monochrome (shades of green or blue).
While wearing these goggles, you have disadvantage on all
Wisdom (Perception) checks and Intelligence (Investigation)
checks having to do with sight. If you are wearing these
goggles in bright light during your turn, you must succeed on
a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw to remove them or become
blinded until the end of your next turn.
Iodine Pills. Iodine pills are experimental pills that
minimize the impacts of radiation on those that take them for
a short period of time. For each pill you consume (to a
maximum of 3), you experience one level of radiation less
than what's actually present. For example, if you were in an
area with level 5 radiation, than you would experience the
effects of level 4 radiation. This does not include the penalty
to spellcasting.
Though useful, iodine pills aren't foolproof. They have no
effect on radiation levels of 7 or higher, and wear off after a
minute.
Iodine pills are sold in standard plastic pill bottles, and are
protected with cotton on the inside of the bottle. Each bottle
holds 10 pills.
Light Sticks. These sticks consist of a translucent plastic
tube containing isolated substances that, when combined,
make light through chemiluminescence, so it does not
require an external energy source. The light color can vary
(usually red, green or blue). As a bonus action, you can
activate the stick, providing bright light in a 10-foot radius
and a dim light for an additional 10 feet for one hour. A light
stick can only be used once, and when activated it cannot be
turned off.
Lighter. A lighter has 20 charges. You can expend one
charge to create a flame for one minute. The lighter sheds
bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5
feet.
Log Keeper. This 1-foot long device records and replays
audio, organizing entries by date. It can maintain up to 48
hours of audio before it automatically begins purging the
earliest entries.
Mag-lock. This magnetic clamp lock can be placed on any
medium to large container, normal door, or latch. It has a
digitally coded lock and can only be opened with the code or
a successful DC 16 Intelligence (Technology) check with a
Hacker’s kit.
Mag-Seal Case. This is a normal briefcase equipped with
a small mag-lock.
65
 Metal Detector. A handled portable sensor for detecting bits
and pieces of metal in and on the ground. The metal detector
has 10 charges. As an action, you can expend one charge to
gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks you make
when searching for metals and metallic objects for 10
minutes. You can regain all spent charges by replacing the
batteries (5 required).
Micro-Toolset. This small set of tools grants you
advantage on any Wisdom (Mechanics) skill checks to repair
minor electronic tools and devices such as computers, SIM
Units, or Portable Media Devices. This provides no benefit
for complex items such as robots, drones, weapons, or
vehicles.
Microanalyzer. Using this microscope one can view the
microscopic world, allowing them to see cells, nanomachines,
and any other things of a similar size.
Microfilament Wire. Often used as a lighter, more durable
replacement for rope or cable, this incredibly thin wire has
10 hit points and an AC of 12, and can support 900 pounds of
weight before snapping. This thin wire is also extremely
sharp and can be used to cut through most materials,
especially flesh, like butter. Creatures touching microfilament
wire must wear thickly padded protection or take 1d4
slashing damage. Additionally, creatures using microfilament
wire to move (such as climbing) must wear similar protection
or take 1d4 slashing damage for every 5 feet they move on it.
Motion Sensor. This device is linked to a display screen
which presents the device’s data. The device can sense
motion through walls and solid surfaces, indicating the
location of any moving object within 50 feet.
Neural Recorder. A flexible cap that resembles a grasping
clawed hand, the neural recorder can collect data directly
from the human mind. Any visual or auditory memories or
thoughts can be transmitted through the neural recorder and
stored in its memory or a USB flash drive. Capable of storing
up to two hours of data, the neural recorder requires a DC 15
Intelligence check to activate and operate. Using hacking
tools allows the character to add their proficiency bonus if
they're proficient with the tools. If the subject of the neural
recording is willing, the neural recorder collects images and
sounds from the subject’s mind and stores them as either
two-dimensional or three-dimensional recordings. An
unwilling subject may make a DC 15 Intelligence saving
throw to prevent the recorder from functioning.
Omnitool. This multipurpose gadget contains a plethora of
useful tools: small knives of various sizes, a small hammer,
screwdrivers, a file, a bottle opener, a small saw, a wrench, a
can opener, a wire-cutter, and a small set of pliers.
Padlock (digital). Equipped with a key and digital keypad.
Without the code, the lock can be picked with thieve's tools
and a successful DC 15 Dexterity check.
Pepper Spray. A creature within 10 feet from you must
make a Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1d4
rounds (DC 15). Any creature wearing goggles or something
to protect its eyes automatically passes the check. A spray
can only be used once.
Plastic Bottle. The cheapest method of carrying liquids
from place to place, plastic bottles can hold about one pint of
liquid.
66
Quadcorder. This handheld scanning device has four
prominent sensors (each looking like a small radar dish) on
its operating end. When directed at an object within 5 feet as
an action, the device measures many of that object's intrinsic
properties, and displays the object's temperature, density,
boiling point, freezing point, conductivity, and viscosity.
Recording Unit. A recording unit is a sort of helmet
commonly worn by reporters. Wrapping around the head, it
holds a camera, microphone, light, and media pass displayer
allowing reporters to interview and record subjects without
extra help from camera or soundmen.
Restraints (reinforced). Same as the manacles listed in
page 152 of the Player's Handboook, except these restraints
are made of a stronger polymer alloy. These restraints have
25 hit points instead of 15.
Sensory Jammer. This device counteracts the effect of any
motion sensor within 50 feet. The jamming signal can be
detected with a successful DC 14 Intelligence (Technology)
check. This device has no effect on detection based abilities
or spells.
Shepherd's Chip. The shepherd's chip is a tiny microchip
implanted beneath the surface of the wrist. It contains the
bearer’s identification information. Some computers can read
the shepherd's chip and extract its information.
In addition to basic identification information, bearers have
their banking and credit information keyed to their
shepherd's chips so that they no longer have to use paper
money or credit cards. Businesses love this as it allows them
to prevent shoplifting; if a person carries an item from the
store, that item’s value is immediately deducted from their
bank account. Additionally, the shepherd's chip can be linked
to computers so that any information can be transferred
between two shepherd's chips – a great boon to the
espionage community as it allows for discrete information
transfers.
Some corporations and governments use shepherd's chips
to monitor the activities of their citizens. This oppressive,
watchful eye of the government is exactly what opponents of
the shepherd's chip fear. Additionally, a black market for
forged or stolen shepherd's chips emerged as soon as the
chips themselves became widespread, making identity theft
and falsification an ever present crime in some communities.
Shepherd's Chip, Falsified. Purchasing a falsified
shepherd's chip from a black market source can produce
mixed results, depending on the skill of the forger. However, a
fake shepherd's chip is not work for an average Joe, only an
expert forger (with a +3 or +4 proficiency bonus with hacking
tools) can gather the necessary components, organize codes
and create a functional fake shepherd's chip.
When you purchase a fake shepherd's chip, the DM
secretly makes an ability check for the forger – the one who
wrote the programs that will circumvent the verification
systems. The result of that check will be compared with a DC
that represents the security level of the system: 15 for
average security (common stores), up to 30 for maximum
security (corporations).
The basic cost of a fake shepherd's chip is equal 1,000
credits multiplied by the forger’s proficiency bonus with
hacking tools (proficiency only, not skill modifier or any other
bonus).
All falsified shepherd's chips are illegal.
Sleeping Bag. A vast improvement over the ancient bedroll,
sleeping bags are designed to be comfortable, lightweight,
temperate, and even waterproof. Sleeping bags can hold one
medium or smaller creature, and allows them to sleep
comfortably in temperatures as low as -50° (fahrenheit).
Smartphone. A smartphone is a mobile personal
computer with a mobile operating system with features
useful for mobile or handheld use. Smartphones have the
ability to place and receive voice/video calls and create and
receive text messages, have personal digital assistants, an
event calendar, a media player, video games, GPS navigation,
digital camera and digital video camera. Smartphones can
access the Internet through cellular frequencies or Wi-Fi and
can run a variety of third-party software components.
Tablet. A tablet is a mobile computer with a touchscreen
display, which is usually in color, processing circuitry, and a
rechargeable battery in a single thin, flat package. Most
tablets also have sensors, including digital cameras, a
microphone, and an accelerometer so images on screens are
always displayed upright. The touchscreen display uses
gestures by finger or stylus to replace the mouse, trackpad
and keyboard used with desktop computers and laptops.
Tablets are larger than smartphones, with screens 7 inches
(18 cm) or larger. However, much of a tablet's functionality
resembles that of a modern smartphone, using a virtual
keyboard and running a mobile operating system. The only
major exception to this is tablets cannot make video or voice
calls.
Tactical Vest. This light vest is covered in pouches, straps,
and holsters. The vest has two holsters, can carry a two-
handed melee weapon on its back, and a dagger on its front.
The tactical vest can be worn atop armor.
Tent (3-5 Person). These larger tents are waterproof, and
can comfortably hold up to 5 Medium creatures and their
gear.
Thermos. Thermoses are designed to keep liquids at the
temperature they were when inserted into the container. Hot
or cold liquids inserted into a thermos remain that way for 3
hours. Thermoses can hold 2 pints of liquid.
Two-Way Radio. A hand-held, portable, two-way radio
transceiver. Multiple radios use a single channel, and only one
radio on the channel can transmit at a time, although any
number can listen. The transceiver is normally in receiving
mode and when the user wants to talk they press a "push-to-
talk" button. You can communicate with someone using a
two-way radio at the same frequency up to 20 miles.
USB Cable (5 ft). These cables can charge portable
electronics such as smartphones or laptops, connect devices
together, or any other number of things a cable does.
USB Flash Drive. A USB drive is a data storage device
that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface.
Can hold 1 terabyte of data.
Vent Tape. This durable adhesive tape is useful for
basically any application that involves sticking two things
together. While more creative minds might use large
quantities of vent tape for other uses, most people use it for
quick repairs, and to affix flashlights to blasters in a pinch. A
single roll of vent tape contains 60 feet of 2-inch wide tape.
Virtual Headset. Virtual headsets strap over the user's
head and covers their eyes and ears to display a virtual reality.
These headsets can be used for simulations, training, movies,
video games, or even to connect to the Internet.
Wristwatch. A simple device with a simple purpose, this
watch reports the time in a way that is consistent with all
major planar times.

compass, a flashlight, 5 light sticks, a lighter, a
plastic bottle, 10 days of rations and a sleeping
bag.

Drugs, at least in the term used for this compendium, are
addictive substances that give the user a feeling of euphoria Addiction

two broad categories of drugs that can be found in the real Minor 5
world: organic drugs being akin to weed or shrooms, and Mild 10
synthetic drugs being akin to meth and heroine. Moderate 15
The Science Behind Drugs Severe 25

Realistically, there is little to no science behind these drugs. Extreme 30

They're all fantastical drugs that grant abilities impossible in
the real world, but completely logical in a world filled with
magic and advanced technology. A little science is used to
calculate the cost of the drugs in an attempt to make the
prices realistic, and the methods of delivery are all based in
reality, but the science basically stops there. Feel free to
change it up if you feel you can make improvements. I haven't
even tried to categorize these drugs into the official
categories (depressants and stimulants for example),
Each time a creature takes the same drug, the DC for the
addiction saving throw increases by 2. The DC continues to
increase even if the creature is already addicted. The DC
drops by 2 for every week a character refrains from using that
drug, but it never drops below the number in the table.
Note that a creature can be addicted to more than one drug
at a time, and can have a different DC for each drug in the
manner described above depending on how frequently they
use drugs.
It's easy to lose track of this, so either the player or DM
should have a designated place for writing it down.
Becoming Addicted
All creatures that repeatedly uses a drug will eventually
become addicted to that drug. When that happens, the
character gains a flaw that forces them to become dependent
on that drug to function in daily life. An addicted creature can
go a number of days without taking the drug depending on
the potency of the drug as listed in the withdrawal table
below.
When a creature goes the maximum number of days
without taking the drug, they begin to go through withdrawal.
While in withdrawal creatures begin to crave the drugs
they're addicted to. These cravings cause the creature to seek
out and use the drugs they're addicted to (if they realistically
can), though the exact manner as to how one goes about this
is left to the players and DM.
Withdrawal also gives creatures going through it varying
levels of exhaustion, as shown in the table below.
Withdrawal
Level of Addiction Days Exhaustion Level
Minor 3 1
Mild 2 1
Moderate 1 3
Severe 1 3
Extreme 1 4
To avoid going through withdrawal, a creature must
consume the drug they're addicted to or a drug with a higher
level of addiction.
The DM choses how long a creature stays in withdrawal if
they refuse to take drugs to abate it.
Design Philosophy
The main point of addiction and withdrawal is to help
balance the benefits using drugs in this module has. In reality
withdrawal occurs much faster (withdrawal for heroin can
start as soon as six hours after a person takes a dose), and a
person can stay in a state of withdrawal for days or weeks.
Despite the struggle withdrawal is in real life, I attempted to
make it a somewhat fun, if punishing, system that gets the
players to stay away from abusing drugs in game.
Getting Clean
Getting clean, or curing a creatures addiction, can happen in
a multitude of different ways, but three ways are provided in
this compendium. The first way is the hardest. A creature can
overcome their addiction to a drug by refusing to take it,
staying in a state of withdrawal until their addiction save for
that drug drops down to the base number in the Addiction
Save table, and then waiting a time determined by the DM. If
a creature waits that long without taking any drugs, they're
clean!
The second way is through cybernetics. The Cerebral
Implant AddictSvr represses all symptoms of withdrawal
while it's implanted, allowing the creature to easily overcome
their addiction. However, if the implant is removed, broken, or
otherwise stops functioning the symptoms of withdrawal are
returned to the creature.
Finally, the ritual spell Cure Addiction flat out cures
addictions of various levels permanently depending on the
level the spell is cast at. The downside is the spell is costly,
and is advanced, making it a high level spell unavailable to
most who need it.
Tolerance Variation
Creatures may build up tolerance to drugs over
time. Each time an addicted creature consumes a
drug to stave off the withdrawal symptoms, they
gain a tolerance point (to a maximum of 5). They
can then add the number of tolerance points to any
future addiction saving throws. For a clean
creature, the tolerance points go down for each
day that the creature does not consume drugs.
redo above drug stuff again
Using Drugs
Now that one understands addiction, lets get into how exactly
one uses drugs. This is the simple part! Drugs have four
different methods of entering the body, and generally only
one method works for each drug. These four methods are as
follows:
1. Ingestion. Ingestion based drugs must be consumed by
the mouth by eating or drinking.
2. Inhalation. Inhalation drugs produce gas that is inhaled
through the mouth or nose to give the user its effects.
3. Injection. Injection based drugs are administered directly
to the bloodstream by the use of a needle.
4. Intranasal. Intranasal drugs are taken by inhalation
through the nose, usually in an action known as snorting.
Drugs also have two categories, mentioned at the
beginning of this section but restated here for convenience:
organic and synthetic. Organic drugs are usually plants or
fungi while synthetic drugs are chemicals or any other
inorganic substance.
Refer to the example drug below if it helps.
Example Drug
Type, Addiction Level, Price
Consumption Type: Intranasal
Consumption Time: 1 action
Here is where you'll find the description for what the drug
looks like and does. A description of what the drug looks like
is listed first, followed by the benefits of taking the drug. If the
drug is potent enough, the negative drawbacks are listed last.
Some drugs, generally organic ones, have different
variations. If this is the case, a table will be listed that shows
how the drugs defer in appearance, restriction and addiction
levels, price, and effect. Refer to the table below for an
example. "App." stands for appearance, and "Add." stands for

Adventure
Synthetic, Moderate, Price
Consumption Type: Inhalation
Consumption Time: 1 minute
Duration: 6 hours
This viscous liquid is the color of an oil slick and has the
consistency of tar. When used it produces a thick smoke of a
similar color. Adventure is smoked through a hookah by
groups of three to six individuals at a time. As the individuals
smoke Adventure, they experience a shared hallucination for
around 6 hours, at which point the Adventure loses potency
and becomes ineffective.
Adventure is named as such because while the shared
hallucinations it produces are random, they almost always
revolve around those taking the drug becoming heroes
embarking on some form of adventure.

Blue Earthstar
Fruit, Uncommon, Mild
Consumption Time: 1 bonus action
The low-hanging fruit of Blue Earth trees, the Blue Earthstar
is a star-shaped fruit filled with sweet nectar and juice. Taking
a bite of this fruit will give the creature advantage on melee
attack rolls until the start of the creatures next turn. Roughly
three bites can be taken from one fruit.
Boost
Synthetic, Severe, Price
Consumption Type: Ingestion
Consumption Time: 1 action
Duration: 1 hour
Popular among college students and overworked employees,
Boost is a thick, heavily caffeinated liquid that gives the user
a huge boost in energy for a short amount of time. Packed full
of caffeine and other unnamed "stimulants", the average dose
of Boost is around 3.1 ounces and on average contains
around 750 mg of caffeine, not including the other stimulants
of course. The massive amount of caffeine in Boost compared
to the relatively small size gives it a texture best described as
sandy yogurt. Boost is typically shaken before consumption.
Drinking a dose of Boost makes it impossible for the user
to fall asleep for the duration the drug is in their system,
giving them immunity to falling unconscious. Additionally, the
user gains 10 additional feet of movement and has advantage
on Dexterity saving throws for as long as they're under the
drug's influences. The main appeal behind boost however is
its ability to suppress any symptoms of exhaustion. While the
user is under the effects of Boost, all levels of exhaustion are
removed from them.
Though it grants considerable benefits for those who wish
to get a lot of work done in a short amount of time, Boost also
strains the mind of the user while under its effects, and
causes them to "crash" when the drug wears off. While under
the effects of Boost, the user has disadvantage on all Wisdom
and Intelligence checks and saving throws. Additionally,
when effects of Boost wear off the user has a crash in energy,
giving them two levels of exhaustion.
Cactus Seeds
Seeds, Uncommon, Minor
Consumption Time: 1 bonus action
These small white seeds, found inside some desert cacti, are
a favourite among party-hard adventurers. 5 minutes after
consuming a seed the creature must succeed on a
constitution saving throw against DC10. On a successful
save, the creature starts to feel energised and happy; and for
two hours, the creature has advantage on all charisma-based
ability checks. A creature suffering from level 1 exhaustation
will also no longer be exhausted. On a failed throw, the
creature comes paranoid of everyone in sight, and for the
next hour the creature must use it's entire turn to move away
from anyone within a 10ft radius, and attempt to hide.
Creating Narcotics
To create your own narcotics think about
consumption time, the main effect of the drug and
any side or after effects. To determine a drug's
severity, consider its impact. If consuming the drug
can have only a minor influence on the game it
should be classified as minor or mild; whereas if a
drug could change the course of an epic battle for
example, it should be considered a severe or
extreme drug. The side and after effects of a drug
should also reflect it's classification. And as always
with homebrews, let your imagination run wild.
Dirt Leaves
Plant, Uncommon, Moderate
Consumption Time: 1 bonus action
Dirt Leaves grow in wet and muddy earth, and can be dried
and brewed as tea. Drinking a cup will give the creature
advantage on all ability checks and saving throws until a long
rest. However, the creature will struggle to sleep and as a
result will be level 2 exhausted. One leaf makes 4 cups of tea.
Esperweed
Plant, Very Rare, Severe
Consumption Time: 1 bonus action
This small neon purple seaweed like plant can be found deep
within underwater caves. Esperweed is rare to find and rarer
to purchase as once picked, it shrivels up and becomes
worthless within a week. When eaten, the user must make a
DC 12 constitution saving throw or regurgitate the drug. On a
success, the user gains 1D6 hitpoints every minute, up to
10% above their normal hitpoints, rounded up. One minute
after the user reaches 10% above their max hitpoints, all the
hitpoints gained along with an additional 15% of their
hitpoints are lost immediately.
Four Seasons
Plant, Rare, Moderate
Consumption Time: 1 action
Commonly found in grassland areas, four similar but
different green leaves filled with nutrition spring from the
dirt, each one having a different effect on the body. For one
hour the creature gains a +2 to the corresponding ability
score.
Color Effect
Green Strength
Blue Charisma
Yellow Dexterity
Cream Wisdom
A creature's ability score cannot be increased to more than
20. After an hour, the creature must succeed a DC 13
constitution saving throw or be poisoned for one hour.
Green Berry
Fruit, Uncommon, Minor
Consumption Time: 1 bonus action
Found in large bunches in bushy grassland, these tasty
berries will put a spring in your step. As a bonus action one
berry can be eaten, after which the creature will gain +2 to it's
AC until the end of it's next turn.
Hog
Synthetic, Extreme, Price
Consumption Type: Injection
Consumption Time: 1 action
Duration: 1 day
Originally designed as a form of aid for starving populations,
Hog was swiftly recalled and deemed illegal once it proved to
be heavily addictive, as well as having other "unhelpful" side
effects. Hog is a fleshy pink liquid that feels as though it's full
of fine hairs when touched. Hog is injected via syringe into
the roof of the mouth. A typical dose is one shot, or 1.5 mL.
Upon consumption Hog causes an overhaul of the digestive
system, allowing the user to consume and gain nourishment
from anything. To aid in this, the drug also causes the
muscles around the jaw to strengthen and the teeth to
harden, giving the user the ability to take bites out of and
chew just about anything -- even steel. The digestive process
is also sped up, allowing the user to digest things practically
immediately to gain nourishment from them.
A creature under the influence of Hog gains the following
attack (unless they have a better bite attack):
Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 9 (2d6 + 2) piercing damage. On a successful
attack the target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an
amount equal to the damage taken, and the user regains hit
points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the
target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect
reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
75
 Hog was largely abandoned due to its "unhelpful" side effects,
portrayed in the following flaw the user takes while under the
drugs effects.
I have an intense desire to consume everything around
me, regardless of what it is or if it's alive.
King Puffball
Mushroom, Very Rare, Severe
Consumption Time: 1 bonus action
Nestled within damp and mossy caves, the King Puffball is a
small, black and spherical mushroom. As a bonus action, a
creature can consume a King Puffball, after which the
creature gains one spell slot. The creature can use this spell
slot to cast any spell that they already know at one level
higher than their current casting ability, or any spell from
their available spell list at their current casting level. The spell
slot will vanish when used, or at the end of the creatures turn.
The creature must then succeed on a constitution saving
throw against DC20. On failed saved, the creature is
incapacitated for 1 minute and takes 6 times their level in
damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half
damage.
Koka Powder
Consumable, Rare, Severe
Consumption Time: 1 bonus action
This illicit white powder is used for its stimulating and
euphoric effects, though it is illegal in many places. A dose of
Koka energizes the user as if it were under the effect of the
Haste spell for 1d6 turns but suffers disadvantage on
Wisdom saving throws. If more than three doses are taken in
one day, the user must make a DC 20 Constitution saving
throw or fall unconscious and die in 1d4 hours if not
stabilized.
76
Link
Consumable, Rare, Severe
Consumption Time: 1 bonus action
This cool, silvery liquid in a syringe was originally designed to
allow people to connect to the Internet without purchasing
expensive cybernetic implants. Link induces brain activity
that mimics the Universal WiFi Link cybernetic implant and
essentially grants that power for 12 hours. Upon using this
drug, make a DC 18 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure,
your consciousness is torn from your body and thrown into
the Internet leaving your body an empty, drooling husk. A
greater restoration spell or any spell of equal or greater
healing ability can bring your consciousness back to your
body.
Lotus Flowers
Plant, Legendary, Varying Classes
Consumption Time: 1 action
This exceedingly rare flower grows in muddy water sources
in varying regions throughout the world. Noticeable for their
splendid beauty, all of these flowers hold a potent narcotic
effect that varies depending on their color. Lotus Flowers
cannot be cultivated and must be found in the wild, making
them exceedingly rare and incredibly expensive.
Color Effect

Love Hearts
Mushroom, Uncommon, Minor
Consumption Time: 1 bonus action
Shaped like a love heart, this bright red mushroom fills a
creatures heart with the firey hot passion of the lava from
which it grows. After consuming this mushroom, the creature
is charmed by the first creature it lays eyes on. The affected
creature is charmed for 10 minutes.
Mesh
Organic & Synthetic, Extreme, Price
Consumption Type: Ingestion
Consumption Time: 1 action
Duration: 1 week
Mesh is a unique drug in that it's both organic and synthetic
in nature. The drug was originally a rare mushroom notable
for having an incredibly strong connection to the mycelium
network. Curious scientists were able to add microscopic
synthetic parts to the mushroom, causing it to broadcast a
"signal" that connects the minds of all creatures currently
under its influence into a form of hive mind. The memories,
thoughts, experiences, and knowledge of those under the
effects of Mesh are simultaneously shared with everyone else
currently under the influence of the drug and vice versa. The
experience of connecting minds in such a way is described as
both orgasmic and horrible, with previous users saying the
drug gives infinite pain and infinite pleasure at the same time
to the user.
Pop Eye
Mushroom, Rare, Severe
Consumption Time: 1 reaction
A small, bright orange mushroom which grows at the base of
trees in dense forests; the Pop Eye Mushroom makes you
very alert of your surroundings, sometimes to the point of
paranoia. After consuming the mushroom the creature can
move their place in the initiative order, and has advantage on
it's next attack roll until the end of it's next turn. At the end of
the creature's next turn, it must succeed on a constitution
saving throw against DC15 or become paranoid and
confused, using its subsequent turn to attack the nearest ally.
If the nearest ally is out of range, the creature must move as
far as its speed will allow towards the ally; if the ally becomes
within range, the creature must then attack. At the end of
each of the creature's turn, the create can take the saving
throw again.
Winged Warrior
Mushroom, Legendary, Extreme
Consumption Time: 1 action
A dull grey mushroom, shaped like a wing, dangles down
from the branches of tall Savannah trees. As rare as the gods
that it mimics, this mushroom turns any creature into a true
warrior, gaining the following benefits for 1 hour:
+3 to AC.
+2 to all ability scores.
Advantage on all saving throws, ability checks, and
weapon attacks rolls.
Can not be frightened or petrified.
+5 to initiative rolls (includes +2 from ability score
improvement)
4 times their level in temporary hit points (maximum of 50
temporary HP).
77
 After 1 hour, the effects of the drug begin to wear off, and any
remaining temporary hit points are lost. The creature must
succeed on a constitution saving throw against DC 20, or take
10 times its level in damage (minimum of 30 damage) and is
level 3 exhausted. On a successful save, the creature takes
half damage and is level 2 exhausted.
Zingle Mushroom
Mushroom, Rare , Moderate
Consumption Time: 1 bonus action
The Zingle mushroom is a dazzling shade of teal, often found
in damp conditions and growing on hanging moss. As a
bonus action, a Zingle mushroom can be eaten, after which a
first level spell slot can be used to cast spells at higher levels
as long as the user can cast at this level. The creature must
succeed on a constitution saving throw against DC10 once
the spell's effects have ended, or the creature takes 4 times its
level of damage, and is left gagging, heaving and
incapacitated until the end of it's next turn. On a succesful
save, the creature takes half damage.

PART 6
Cybernetics and Bionics
 Cybernetics and Bionics
T
his section will cover all the possible
enhancements and additions you can make to
your character through the wonders of
technology. As you may have noticed from the
title, there are two types of enhancements:
Cybernetics and Bionics. And yes, there is a
difference.
Cybernetics
This is your “classic” mechanical enhancement to your body.
It is the blending of man (beings) and machines. Since the
parts are usually of a synthetic nature (previously metal,
carbon-fiber, and similar materials), they hinder the
character’s ability to do magic. Thus, having cybernetics will
reduce the character’s effectiveness when it comes to using
magic. This will be discussed later in this section.
Bionics
This is the more “natural” solution that mimics cybernetics,
but is a lot less invasive. Instead of “machine” replacement
parts, Bionics is a mix of genetic treatments or vat-grown,
biologic replacements that are baseline your own DNA, but
enhanced to match what cybernetics can do. Unfortunately,
this makes them much more expensive, but they don’t have a
Constitution Cost and therefore do not affect magic.
Constitution Cost
All Cybernetics will come with a Constitution Cost (CC). This
will be listed with the individual cybernetic piece on the chart
and in its description. The CC for each piece is subtracted
from your Constitution, but it does not take away directly
from your Con. Instead, since Constitution is a measure of
health and vim, it is also a measure of how much “damage”
your body can take and be replaced with machine. So, you do
not lose anything from your Constitution (i.e. Con bonus and
its application to HP and Constitution saves), but you cannot
have more cybernetics than your Constitution allows. You
cannot go below 1 after all CCs are subtracted from your
Constitution.
Example...
Tim the Street Warrior ran afoul a nasty group of Clown
Gang thugs. Though he survived, they did blow off half of his
right arm. He decides to get the whole thing replaced. A new
cybernetic arm has a CC of 2. Tim’s Constitution is 14. After
the surgery, his Constitution is now 14/12. The Cybernetic
arm does not take away from his overall health and
resistance, but it does replace a large chunk of his body.
Deciding he likes the arm, he now wants a matching pair, so
he gets the other arm replaced as well. This now brings his
Constitution to 14/10. Now he’s hooked. He keeps getting
more and more replaced until eventually his Constitution is
now 14/.25. This is fine so long as he doesn't go below 0.
If you go below 0, your character enters a dangerous phase
called Cyber-Sickness.
80
Example...
Let's continue with Tim and say he really got hooked and
wanted even more parts. At this point, he's managed to
balance his Constitution so it's now 14/.25. Tim decides he
wants to purchase some Eyeshift™ to help make him look
cooler.
Getting them for both eyes, Tim's Constitution is now at
14/-1.75. Once he goes below zero, he enters what's called
Phase One.
Phase One happens because so much of Tim's natural
state has been cut away and replaced that his natural organs,
namely his heart, lungs, and liver start to fail. Resulting in a
minus seven to his total constitution score and a minus five to
both his strength and dexterity scores. He will need to get
these replaced either with the cybernetic or bionic versions to
negate these affects. Having spent all his spent all his savings
on cybernetic replacements like a buffoon, Tim can only
afford the cybernetic replacements, lowering his Constitution
Cost to 14/-8.75 and putting him in Phase Two. If the PC is a
construct, they still must get the replacement parts to negate
these effects.
Phase Two is reached when a character goes below -5. In
Phase Two, Tim's mind begins to fail him and he gains two
Indefinite Madness's, that cannot be cured unless a Wish
spell or equally powerful magic is used to do so. He also
gains a minus -5 to his Wisdom, Intelligence, and Charisma
scores. Should Tim choose to continue with his destructive
habits, and get any further cybernetic implants he enters
Phase Three.
Phase Three is death. Once Tim reaches phase three, his
body simply cannot handle the amount of replacements
attached to him, and he dies. Don't be like Tim. Make wise
choices.
Cyber-Sickness Table
In case that was hard to understand or you just didn't want to
read it, here is a table that should clear things up. The first
column is the phases, the second column is the CC needed to
reach that phase, the third phase is the affect it has on you,
and the fourth column is how you can fix the affect.
Phase CC Affect Cure

Liver
2 Indefinite Madness's, -5 to Wish spell or
2 -5 total Intelligence, Wisdom, equally
and Charisma scores powerful magic
3 -5.25 Death -
Effects on Magic
As mentioned before, Cybernetics adversely affect magic. For
every 2 points of CC you will lose 1 known Spell. For
Sorcerers, Wizards, and Warlocks, you will lose one allotted
spell per day per level.
Druids and Paladins do not have a number of “known
spells”, so they only lose the spells per day per level like the
Sorcerer. Bionics do not have a CC, so for and Magic classes
it is advisable to use Bionics instead if you can afford it.
Gadgets
Gadgets are essentially upgrades that can be applied to your
base cybernetic parts, for a modest price of course. All
gadgets can only be applied to base cybernetic parts, and do
not have a constitution cost. Each basic cybernetic part can
have one gadget. Refer to the gadget table for the names of
gadgets, and how they affect the price.
Descriptions for each gadget is provided below the table.
The Price Modifier represents the additional amount of
money you must pay to have the gadget installed in the
cybernetic. For example if the price modifier is times .5, you
pay the normal amount and an additional half of the usual
price. Boinics cannot have gadgets installed in them.
Gadget Price Modifier
Booby Trapped X1.75
Compact X1.5
Integraated Cybernetic Devices X2
Sensor Baffling X.5
Storage Compartment X.25
Booby Trapped
Those characters with a more paranoid outlook on life might
consider the booby trapped gadget for protecting their
cybernetics. Any cybernetic device with this gadget is
designed to function properly only for the recipient. The
booby trap can be deactivated by the recipient as a move
action and remains inert until reactivated (also a move
action).
If an unauthorized character picks up the cybernetic device
(should it be separated from the owner), or, more important,
attempt to operate on or remove it, a special trap is
immediately triggered. None of the traps affect the recipient
as long as the cybernetic device is attached. (If the device is
being operated on, the trap might do this damage to the tools
being used for the surgery.)
Barbs: The cybernetic device rapidly projects spikes or
bladed, dealing 1d6 points of piercing damage to the
character tripping the trap.
Electric Shock: Power cells in the cybernetic device
discharge and deal 1d6 points of lightning damage to the
character tripping the trap.
Trigger Integrated Weapon: An integrated weapon is
triggered and targets the character tripping the trap. This
trap is typically used to trigger an explosive device.
Compact
By eliminating wasted space and using smaller components,
some engineers are capable of producing cybernetic devices
with far more internal space than their standard
counterparts. Any cybernetic device with this gadget can hold
one additional accessory slot.
Sensor Baffling
From simple metal detectors to advanced x-ray scanners,
there’s always a way to detect cybernetics. The ability to
confuse sensors can be invaluable, especially when
smuggling weapon implants past security.
Any cybernetic device with a sensor baffling gadget
increases by 5 the DC of checks made to detect the device
with sensors or other detection devices. Even so, no
cybernetic devices can remain hidden if the recipient is the
target of a thorough medical examination.
A cybernetic device can have sensor baffling without being
inobvious, but this means the device is still clearly cybernetic
when observed visually and the +5 DC applies only to
scanners and similar detection methods.
Storage Compartment
A cybernetic implant can have an internal storage
compartment built into it. The recipient can remove objects
from the compartment easily, but anyone attempting to do so
against his will must both successfully pin the recipient and
beat him at an opposed Strength check. Objects kept in
cybernetic storage compartments gain a +4 bonus on checks
made to conceal them.
Removing an object from a cybernetic storage
compartment is a move action that provokes attacks of
opportunity. A compartment can also be made into a weapon
bin (at no additional cost). This allows it to hold a single type
of weapon, which can be removed in the same way a weapon
is drawn (a move action that can be combined with
movement, and does not provoke attacks of opportunity).
For an additional cost another additional .25 of the original
cybernetic cost, a compartment can be spring-loaded. A single
object can be removed from a spring-loaded compartment as
a free action.
Try to use common sense when storing items. You might
not be able to store a phone in your cybernetic eye, but you
could store something like a flashdrive.
Cybernetics and Bionics
Below are the charts with general descriptions of Cybernetics
and Bionics available to characters. But first, is an
explanation of the columns. Since there is more or less a
Bionic equivalent of every Cybernetic, though not always, the
charts are combined into one. Here are the columns:
Name: this is the name of the cybernetic or bionic part.
Benefit: this will give a brief description of the benefits
gained from the part
CC: This is the Constitution Cost of the part. The CC listed
only applies to the Cybernetic part.
Price: This is the cost in currency of the part. They will be
listed with a “ / “ and will be the cost of Cybernetics first, then
Bionics, so Cybernetic price/Bionic price. If there is no " / "
with a price following it, it means there is no bionic version
available.

Cybernetic and Bionic Descriptions
These are the more detailed descriptions of the cybernetics
and bionics previously listed. Each one will have the name
and the CC in parentheses next to it.
Basic Parts
Basic Parts are the base replacements you need to gain
access to most of the other cybernetic parts. For example,
you can't get a SkillSet Chip Interface without Neuralware
and you cant get a Radio Link without getting a Replacement
Ear. Basic Parts rarely come in pairs and most often must be
bought individually. For example, you generally need to
purchase two Replacement Eyes or ears if you want a pair.
Neuralware (2) This is the main control center for all your
cerebral implants. Without this the other implants will not
work unless they are the Bionic version. This implant does
not grant any bonuses itself, but it does allow other implants
to work with other cybernetics. These bonuses will be
detailed in the specific implant’s description.
Replacement Arm (2) This is your standard replacement
arm. As it is, it is a very skeletal-looking arm with a few
hydraulic parts. Each replacement arm comes with a
Standard Hand and 3 Accessory Slots.
Replacement Ear (.5) This is the standard Replacement
Ear required for all cyberaudio upgrades. It is standard for
these ears to look like normal non-cybernetic ears, however
you can have them resemble animal ears for an additional 50
credits. (The most common animal ears are cat and rabbit
ears.) Replacement Ears come pairs and the cc for the pair is
(.5). A pair of ears contains 4 accessory slots.
Replacement Eye (1) The standard replacement eye, this
eye would resemble any other eye if not for the fact that the
iris glows. The Replacement Eye is home to two Accessory
Slots.
Replacement Foot (.5) This resembles a normal foot and
has five toes.
Replacement Hand (.5) This resembles a normal hand;
four fingers and a thumb.

85
 Replacement Leg (3) This is your standard replacement leg.
As it is, it is a very skeletal-looking leg with a few hydraulic
parts. Each replacement leg comes with 3 Accessory slots.
If you have a cybernetic arm and it is wielding a
Body Plating
Body Plating covers any situation where armored plastics
and metals are layered over and directly anchored to the skin.
It doesn't make you stronger or faster, but it's perfect for the
person who wants all over protection all the time - and
doesn't care who knows it.
Cowl (3.5) This is a body plate that covers the skull. It is
anchored by minibolts to the scalp, and appears as though
someone had stuck a bicycle helmet underneath your scalp.
Faceplate (3.75) Hardened plastic material that
completely covers the face. Nervelinks allow limited and stiff
facial expressions, while ports allow for breathing, eating,
and seeing. Many people who get Faceplates have them
sculpted to resemble bizzare and sometimes frightening
faces; such as monsters, animals, or robots.
Front Optic Mount (3) This mount allows up to five
Replacement Eyes to be installed in a shielded cluster in the
upper face. The eyes are removed and the orbital sockets
used to mount the receier hardware for the optic mount.
Optic mounts come in several styles: there are thin visor slits
(Robocop), rotating camera clusters (like an old fashioned
movie camera), or one main optic with smaller ones arranged
in a circle around it.
Skinweave I, II, and II (4/6/8): Nano fiber strands are
weaved into replacement skin, or in the case of the Bionic
version, your existing skin. All levels grant a measure of
Armor bonus to your overall AC which for levels I and II are
stackable with other armor, but not other cybernetic armor.
Level III is not stackable. Additionally for each level, your skin
becomes more “angular” or “geodesic”. Level I is smooth and
supple and is no different from real skin. Level II has a
noticeable color difference and is more angular. Level III
looks as if you were chiseled from stone and not smoothed
out on the edges.
Subdermal Plating (10): Hardened plates (carbon fiber
for cybernetic and specially engineered bone for bionic) are
placed directly under the skin. Because they are hard plates,
you look as if your skin were stretched over a suit of armor.
Because of this, you cannot wear any other armor, but
clothes–baggy ones at that–will go over your skin/armor.
Cerebral Implants
Cerebral Implants are cybernetic modifications made to the
brain. These implants are an ideal must have for anyone who
wants to increase their senses or intellectual prowess.
However, due to the fact that these implants always take
place in the brain, it is highly recommended one finds a
trained professional to do the operation.
Olfactory Boost (.5): Your sense of smell is boosted to
super-human levels. You can now use the skill Survival to
track by scent.
Pain Editor (3): Your sense of pain has been diminished
so that you shrug off most pain. You still take damage
normally, but if you do not have to make any sort of
Constitution check to resist pain, being stunned (physically
not magically), or similar if it is required.
86
Reflex Booster I, II, III (1/1.5/1.75): All boosters, bionic
or cybernetic, give the following standard benefits:
If you have 2 cybernetic legs, you also get a +2 dodge bonus
to your AC
weapon (or if you have 2 and are wielding 2), you gain an
extra +1 to hit (not damage) for that weapon.
Each level gains the additional bonuses listed in the chart
above. As you may have noticed, level II and III give you
Evasion. These act exactly like the Rogue and Monk abilities,
i.e. on a successful Dexterity save with Evasion you take no
damage and only take half on a failed save. If you are a Monk,
Rogue, or any other class or prestige class that grants
Evasion and you take level II or III, it does nothing but give
you the pluses to Initiative and Dexterity saves. If you get this
before your class allows it, you have access to it at that point,
but once your class grants it, that feature does nothing. For
example, if a rogue came into a windfall of money around
level 4 and decided to get the Reflex Booster II, he would
have Evasion at that point. Once he reached level 7 where it
is granted to him normally, nothing new would happen; he
would still have Evasion from the booster. However, if the
booster was removed, he would still have Evasion after level
7, but removing cybernetics is extremely rare.
SkillSet Chip Interface (2): This is the interface where
you insert your SkillSet chips. They are small chips that
resemble SD cards. The interface comes with 4 slots which
can all be active at once, thus giving you the potential of
having 4 skills. The SkillSet Processor is required for this
implant and can only handle 4 active skills at once. You could
conceivably have 2 interface implants, but the extra 4 would
be wasted and inactive as you would have to remove those
and put them into one of the 4 active slots.
SkillSet Processor (1): This is an additional processor
added to your cerebral processor that allows the use of
SkillSet chips. Additionally if you have 2 cybernetic arms
(and hands), you get an additional +2 on the skill provided it is
an manual skill (such as Craft).
Tactile Boost (.5): Your sense of feeling is boosted to
super-human levels.
Universal WiFi Link (.5): As the name implies, it is
essentially a wifi link to your cerebral processor. This allows
you to link to your communicator, any WiFi enabled tablet or
computer, or any WiFi enabled vehicle. If you are linked to
your communicator, you will also have an Augmented Reality
(AR) Field projected in your range of vision that will display
various bits of information (like Google Glass, but not google
and without the glasses). You are the only one who can see
your AR Field. What is displayed is controlled by your
communicator, but can include a GPS enabled map, terminal
prompt, information pop-ups, etc. If you link to any WiFi
enabled tablet or computer, you can enter the Virtual
Network (VN). Since it is a complete immersion, you cannot
move or interact with the real world until your link is severed
(either voluntarily or not). Additionally, if you have any drones
or other remote device and/or vehicle that is controlled by
computer or your communicator, your link will allow you to
control these devices “mentally” and if they have some sort of
camera, you can display that within your AR or VN field of
view. If you link to any WiFi enabled vehicle, you get a +2 to
Drive checks and can control the vehicle mentally. However,
the range on this is limited to 5 feet, so you still have to be
inside the vehicle.

Cyberaudio
Cyberaudio systems patch into the auditory nerves and
speech centers of the brain, along with the ear itself.
Generally there is no change in the appearance of the
physical ear itself, but some people choose to have the
replacement ears resemble animal ears (see replacement ear
in basic parts).
Amplified Hearing (1) This system improves hearing and
sound recognition ability, adding =1 to any sound-related
Perception checks.
Bug Detector (.5) This mini-receicer is designed to pick up
signals transmitted by all types of radio bugs. When the bug
is active, its transmissions make a small beeping noise in the
back of your head, getting louder as you get closer to the bug.
In terms of gameplay, this gives you a 6 out of 10 chance (roll
a 1D10, choose your six numbers) of detecting any bugs
within 10 feet of you.
Enhanced Hearing Range (1.5) This subsystem allows
the user to hear tones in the subsonic and supersonic ranges.
Level Dampner (.5) This system automatically
compensates for loud noises, such as thunder attacks.
Characters with this implant gain resistance to all thunder
attacks.
Radar Detector (.5) THis system produces a loud beep
whenever a radar beam is encountered. It also has a 40%
chance of triangulating the source; when the direction of the
beam is determined, the beep changes to a clear tone.
Radio Link (1) A microminiature radio transceiver, usually
mounted at the base of the skull and using your fillings as the
antennae. It is activated by clicking the teeth together sharply.
To talk, you merely mutter under your breath.
Reception is carried out in one of two ways: 1. A receiver
directly vibrates the mastoid bone, giving you a small tinny
voice in the back of your head, or 2. Linked to a cyberoptics
Marquee option, incoming messages are flashed into the
upper edge of your field of vision as red scrolling letters. In
terms of gameplay, having a radio implant gives you the
ability to talk to any receiver on the same band frequency for
up to 1 mile. It also means you occasionally get someone
else's radio messages.
Scrambler (.5) This implant improves your regular and
Tight Beam Radio Links with a scrambler, so it cannot be
listened into by unwanted parties.
Tight Beam Radio Link (1) This option allows tight beam
radio communication for up to 1 mile, as long as both parties
are within line of sight to each other and are not blocked by
any object thicker than 1 foot
Voice Stress Analyzer (1) This system acts as a lie
detector, detecting minute changes in vocal patterns and
tones and comparing these to a pre-recorded set of
parameters. You must first use the analyzer on the subject
while they are in an unstressed situation or is telling the
truth. In terms of gameplay if you follow the procedure listed
above, this gives you +2 to insight checks.
Wearman™ (.5) The WearMan™ mounts twin vibration
speakers on your mastoid bones, making your skull into an
audio system ofconcert hall quality A tiny chip mount wired
into the earlobe allows you to plug in a variety of music chips,
all fashioned to look like earrings. Each chip contains about
100 songs. Selections are fast-forwarded by squeezing the
earring gently, once per selection. When the chip is removed
the WearMan™ turns off.
Wide Band Radio Scanner (2) This option automatically
scans all major police, fire, ambulance, and First Responder
communication bands. The user can set this scanner to cover
one specific band, downloading any incoming messages to his
own internal radio link or Times Square Marquee.
Cyberoptics
A combination of digital processor and camera, cyberoptics
are replacements for normal eyes. Cybervision is just like
regular vision, only better. Colors are brighter, images
sharper. And that's just the start.
Camera Implant (.5) This cyberoptic mounted camera can
hold up to 20 images and videos. These photos and videos
can be uploaded to the internet or downloaded to an external
chip. As new photos and videos are taken, old ones are
automatically deleted.
Darkvision (.5) Allows the eye to use Darkvision. If your
race grants this vision already and you have your eye
replaced, you lose your original darkision, but it can be re-
added with this feature (and others).
Dartgun (1.5) A dartgun installed in the eye that shoots a
single poisoned dart as per the players handbook. Must be
reloaded after each use.
Image Enhancement (1) High resolution graphics
capability allowing the user to enhance and refine what they
are seeing. Increases your perception by 2.
Infrared Vision (1) Allows the user to see in infrared.
87
 Microscopic Vision (1.25) Allows you to see down to the
microscopic level. Because of the nature of the vision, you
cannot move while using this vision.
Telescopic Vision (1.5) Allows you to see up to 20x
magnification in your current vision.
Thermal Imaging (1) Allows you to see thermal/heat
patterns and thus in total darkness and through solid
material. Each foot of solid material counts towards the total
60 ft max. So, if you are 30 ft away from a wall that is 4 ft
thick concrete, you can still see 26 ft beyond that wall.
Thermograph Sensor (.5) Allows user to see heat patters
of objects and people. Cooler things show up as dark to light
blue, hotter things as red or orange, and the hottest of all as
yellow or white. Used to distinguish differing heat sources
through light structural material, or the presence of
cybernetics, which are always cooler than normal body
temperatures. Thermograph Sensors can also determine the
operating time of certain machinery by measuring its cooling
gradient.
Times Square Marquee (.5) Scrolling letter screen of a
color you choose in the upper edge of your vision, linked to a
software chip readout or a radio link.
Cyberweapons (Body)
At the top of most of the more shady characters Cybernetic
shopping list are the Cyberweapons; hidden killing tools that
can be buried in your skin until the moment you want to take
someone out.
Cybersnake (4) A common weapon used by assassins, A
Cybersnake is a robotic snake that resides in an implanted
storage space in your stomach. As a bonus action, you can
make the snake extend from your stomach and make a
piercing attack against someone. This attack has a five foot
range and does 1D6 piercing damage. Assassins will
commonly use this attack while kissing their target, causing
the Cybersnake to go down the victims throat and pierce their
organs.
88
Big Nucks (3) Reinforced and enlarged knucklebones that
function as brass knuckles. Popular among monks and
people who use their fists regularly.
Grapplin' Tounge (4)
Rippers (3) Longer, heavier versions of scratchers that
replace the top two joints of the fingers. The replaced
portions of the fingers are replaced by a plastic and metal
sheath, in which three inch carbo-glas claws are housed. The
rippers can be extended by clawing the hand in a catlike
fashion. Most people wear false fingernails over their
Rippers, giving them advantage on attempts to conceal them.
Rippers deal 1D6 slashing damage.
Scratchers (2) Implanted metal or quartz in the fingernails
that causes them to become sharper than usual, giving them a
1D4 slashing attack. Most people style their Scratchers,
causing them to become indistinguishable from normal nails.
Slice N' Dice (2) A small spool of Microfilament wire
mounted in the end of one finger, with a weighted, false
fingernail to give it balance and swing. This is commonly
used as a Garrotte or Microfiliment Whip.
Vampires (3) Implanted fangs, usually made up of quartz
or superchromed metal. You can have a full set implanted,
(replacing all your teeth, and referred to as a Ghouls Smile)
or just the canines (referred to as Vampires). Vampires can be
augmented with syringes, allowing the owner to withdraw or
inject substances into their target for double the price.
Vampires aren't just for fashion, a Ghouls Smile allows you to
deal an extra 1D6 piercing damage when you bite someone,
and Vampires allow you to deal an extra 1D4 piercing
damage when you bite someone.
Wolvers (3.5) The largest and deadliest of the Scratchers
family, Wolvers are implanted along the back of the hand.
When the Hand is clenched in a fist, a thin triangular blade
telescope out and lock into place, remaining extended a full
foot until the hand is relaxed. Wolvers deal 2d6 slashing
damage.
Ultimatum (3) The Ultimatum is the perfect product for
those who want to give one last middle finger to their
enemies. The Ultimatum stores a huge cache of explosives
inside the users body wired up to their heart. When the heart
stops beating, the explosives detonate - destroying both the
user and anyone close to them. Before installation, the user
must provide at least five pounds of the same type of
explosives that will be installed in them with the device. The
Ultimatum can only hold dynamite or plastic explosives. It is
not recommended to use this implant with a cybernetic heart,
as a single EMP blast can shut down the heart causing the
user to explode.
Fashionware
Although Fashionware virtually has no practical uses in
terms of survival, it has become one of the most popular and
widely used categories of cybernetics. Fashionware is any
cybernetic or upgrade that intentionally aesthetically affects
the appearance of a person. Some common examples of
Fashionware are listed below.
 
Biomonitor (.25) The Biomonitor is a favorite among
doctors, fitness freaks, and harried corporates worried about
their blood pressure. Mounted just below the skin of the
forearm, the Biomonitor gives a constant readout of pulse,
respiration, brain waves, blood sugar, temperature, and
cholesterol levels. The display is a pattern of word shaped
LEDs, each running a color sequence from red (critical) to
green (excellent). As conditions change, the colors change.
This ability to swiftly see if something is amiss in the users
body gives them a +2 to Constitution saves against poison.
ChemSkins (.25) ChemSkins are special dyes and
chemicals which are impregnated or rubbed into the skin.
Some change the skin color to a new shade as desired, while
others are temperature sensitive, and shift colors in vibrant
patterns when warmed or cooled. Some ChemSkins are
sensitive to hormonal changes; one could buy a ChemSkin
that would make yellow and black stripes appear on their
skin when they become angry or excited.
Eyeshift™ (.25) One of the most popular Fashionware is
the Eyeshift™. Eyeshift™ allows the user to have complete
control over what their eyes look like. Users can change the
colors of the iris (some of the most popular colors are amber,
white, burgundy, and violet). Users can also turn their eyes
transparent, make them swirl with glittering lights, make
their eyes reflect a starry night sky, have tiny designer logos
appear around the iris, and even make their eyes appear to be
spheres of solid chrome. The possibilities of Eyeshift™ are
nearly infinite. You must have Replacement Eyes to use
Eyeshift™. A full shift of patterns or colors takes about a
minute. You must pay for each eye you install Eyeshift™ in.
Skinwatch (.25) The predecessor of the Biomonitor, the
Skinwatch is implanted just below the epdermis, and uses
tiny LEDs to project glowing numerals through the skin.
Skinwatches can be mounted anywhere, although the hand,
wrist, and fingers are the most common. Advanced versions
can be reset by pressing the display gently until the right
number combinations come up; really advanced versions
have alarms that beep quietly. Use your imagination.
Synthskins (.5) Synthskins is a layer of color-shifting,
illuminated plastic bonded to the users outer skin. While
most recipients use this upgrade purely for decoration, it
does have uses towards survival. The recipient can control
the brightness of the luminescence as a free action, negating
it entirely if desired. As its most intense, Synthskins can
illuminate squares occupied by or adjacent to the recipient
turning dim light into bright light, and darkness into dim
light. Synthskins can also change color and pattern on
demand.
Techhair (.25) The shafts of this artificial hair are
impregnated with various types of reactive chemicals. Some
types are temperature sensitive and change color or stand up
depending on the weather. Others contain the same pigments
used in ChemSkins, storing and emitting colored light in
patterns. Still others can change the color as desired by using
special chemical shampoos. Techhair can be implanted in
mohawks, hair weaves, full hairpieces, manes, ruffs,
whiskers, and anywhere else hair grows.
Hands and Feet
The basic cyberlimb comes without hands or feet attached;
these are purchased seprately, allowing the user to tailor the
limb to their specific needs. These parts can be changed by
unfastening a series of connection bolts, and reconnecting
the new hand or foot (taking about a minute). In general
hands and feet are sold separately and are not sold in pairs.
Buzz Hand (1) This hand can be pulled back to reveal
small, spinning microfilament wires around a titanium hub.
The high speed "weed wacker" shears through most
materials like butter, dealing 2d6 slashing damage if used as
a weapon. The nature of microfilament wires also allows
Buzz Hands to be used to shear through nonmagical objects.
Rules for attacking objects can be found on pages 246-247 of
the DMG.
Crabber (1) A crabber is a large hydraulic claw
(resembling that of a crab) that replaces your hand. A crabber
is used as a strength based melee weapon attack that deals
2d6 bludgeoning damage, and automatically grapples the
target on a successful attack. You are considered proficient
with the Crabber while you have it attached to you. Because a
Crabber is just a giant claw, you cannot use it for anything
other than this attack or gripping things, unless your DM says
otherwise.
Grapple Hand (1) This hand's fingers extend backwards to
create a five fingered throwing grapple. A small spool in the
wrist contains 100 feet of fine, super strong line capable of
supporting 200 lbs.
Grip Foot (2) Toes of this foot can extend and curl around
a 2" bar. The soles are covered in a tack rubberized material
for increased traction while climbing. Grants you a climbing
speed equal to your normal speed. You must have a pair of
these attached to gain this benefit.
Hammer Hand (2) This hand is made of hardened
titanium and has a powerful explosive shell driven ram that
acts like a jackhammer. You punch, the shell goes off, driving
the fist forward with incredible velocity and power (1d10
bludgeoning damage). A port in the top ejects the shell and
opens to receive a new one (replacements cost 30 credits).
Ripper Hand (3) The standard hand with ripper blades
mounted in the upper and wrist area.
Spike Hand (1.5) This hand contains a hardened titanium
spike which telescopes out of the wrist and through the lower
palm. Can be poisoned and is helpful in climbing (1d6+3
piercing damage, +1 to checks involving climbing).
Spike Heel Foot (2) A 6" spike projects from the heel of
this foot, allowing the user to make deadly rear kicks. This
spike can also be used for anchoring or climbing. (1d6+3
piercing damage, +1 to checks involving climbing).
Talon Foot (2) This foot can extend narrow blades similar
to scratchers for 1d6 piercing damage.
Tool Hand (1) This hand's four fingers conceal small
microtools: the pointer finger contains a small screwdriver
with changable heads, The middle finger contains an
adjustable wrench, the ring finger contains a battery powered
soldiering iron, and the pinky contains an adjustable socket
wrench. The lower edge of the palm is hardened to make a
dandy hammer. At the DMs discretion, you can change the
tools for other tools, such as changing the adjustable wrench
for a lockpick.
89

Web Foot (2) This foot Extends thin webs from either side
of the foot, as well as webs between toes. Grants you a
swimming speed equal to your normal speed. You must have
a pair of these attached to gain this benefit
Implants
Implants are the useful little things you get plugged in to
make living easier; things that you can't replace from a pile of
spare parts, or that a specific job may require.
Adrenal Booster (3) A small chip is placed near your
adrenal gland that will cause a surge of adreneline to rush
through you giving you the above described benefits. Like
with the Barbarian’s rage, bonus HP granted by high
constitution is retroactive, but also disappears after the effect
wears off. Additionally, because of the burst, your body needs
time to recover and replenish. This can only be activated
once every four hours.
Artificial Shoulder Mount (7) These are swivel joints
which can be mounted below your current shoulders. This
allows up to two extra arms to be mounted below the original
arms, and extends the height of your torso by roughly 6
inches to allow for proper movement between the sets of
arms. Because of the complex nature of this implant you
cannot have more than one Artificial Shoulder Mount.
Bone Reinforcement (7) This is probably the most
invasive replacement surgery, though it really isn’t a
replacement. With the cybernetic version, your bones are
reinforced with a coating of form-fitting carbon fiber making
them much more durable. In the bionic version, your bone
density is increased on the genetic level making them more
durable. In either case, they give the character the same
benefits.
EMP Shielding (1) A small internal Faraday Cage is
implanted in your body, making you immune to effects from
EMP blasts.
Gills (3) These require that you have replacement lungs.
Additionally, if you get cybernetic gills, you have to have
cybernetic lungs. If you get bionic gills, you have to have
bionic lungs. You cannot mix and match. If you have both, you
can breathe normally under water. However, like polluted air,
polluted water will affect your ability to breathe normally.
Speaking of air, the way the lungs and gills work together, you
can breath above water as well.
Independent Air Supply (1) A small artificial organ, filled
with a spongy, oxygen fixing foam. Implanted in the lower
lungs, it allows an inactive character to hold their breath for
up to 25 minutes, or an active character up to 10 minutes.
Motion Detector (1.5) Detects motion (direction and
strength) in a 10 foot radius centered on the user. Can be
mounted on the palm or heel.
Muscle I, II, III (2,4,6) This is not a full replacement of
every muscle on your body, but instead, key strategic
replacements that will give you the stated benefits. Also the
player must choose either a bonus to Dex or Str, not both.
Now, they can have both, but it will be considered a
separate part. For example, if you wanted a +1 to both Dex
and Str, you must buy Muscle I twice and the CC applies both
times, so a 4 CC. This is because different muscle groups are
enhanced for either agility and speed or strength and power.

Nanosurgeons I, II, III (1,3,5) Billions of tiny robots (or
genetically enhanced, microscopic organisms) run through
your bloodstream repairing damage and fighting off infection.
Along with the healing benefits listed on the chart above you
gain the following benefits. Level I you gain a +5 to any
Constitution save of any sort. Level II you gain the benefits of
Level I as well as being immune to all poisons. Level II you
gain Levels I and II benefits as well as being immune to all
natural diseases. You are still susceptible to magic diseases
and poisons.
Nasal Filters (1) Simple filters line the inside of your nose
and nasal cavity that filter out toxins. You gain the above
benefits to Constitution saves versus gas-based poisons and
toxins.
Radar Emitter (1) As a free action, you can cause your
implanted Radar Emitter to emit a radar centered on you out
in a 200 foot radius. This only works on the ground and in
the air.
Radiation Detector (2) This Detector has an 80% chance
of correctly determining if their is radiation in the area. It can
transmit this information either by making beeps akin to a
Geiger Counter, or if you have a Marquee installed in your
eyes, it can feed the data there.
Replacement Heart (2) This replacement heart pumps
blood at a much more efficient rate, thus the bonuses to
endurance-type checks. There is a cybernetic version and a
bionic version. The cybernetic version is susceptible to EMP.
If a character has a cybernetic heart and is hit by an EMP
blast, or any electricity effect (magic, psionic, or tech) they
must make a Constitution save at DC 20. If successful, the
heart is able to reboot and continue pumping, if not their
heart stops and regardless of HP, they are considered to be at
-1 HP. Any Medicine checks to stabilize a dying character will
work (essentially their Medicine check goes into helping the
heart reboot). If this happens and the Medicine check is
successful, the character is unconscious, but returns to their
current HP level.
If not, they continue to lose 1 HP per round, just like any
other character at -1 HP until they are stabilized. The bionic
version is not affected by this.
Replacement Liver (3) This is just a replacement liver and
has no other benefits or hindrances other than what is listed
on the chart.
Replacement Lungs (2) These are just replacement lungs
and have no other benefits or hindrances other than what is
listed on the chart.
Setae (1) Special, micro-folds are implanted on the skins
of your palms and fingers allowing you to adhere to sheer
surfaces. This gives you a +15 bonus to checks made towards
climbing. Additionally, you can have them also added to your
toes and soles of your feet, but this will only give you an
additional +10 (total of +25 if you have both). You cannot wear
gloves and benefit from these Setae, also you can’t wear
boots/shoes/other footwear and use the setae on your toes
and feet.
Sonar Implant (1) As a free action, you can cause your
implanted Sonar Implant to emit a sonar centered on you out
in a 200 foot radius. This only works in the water.
Subdermal Pocket (2) A simple pouch that is put into the
skin anywhere on the body (player’s choice). It is 2” by 4” and
is air and water tight. The Realskinn zipper is like a zip-lock
zipper and not like trouser zippers.
Voice Synthesizer (3) This system allows the user to
mimic any voice or tone previously recorded by it's memory
chip. The chip can store up to 10 "voices". This system also
gives the user a +10 to performance checks made to sound
like someone else.
Limb Upgrades
Essentially, Limb Upgrades are upgrades that you can apply
to either your arms or legs, as listed in the table, considering
you have a replacement one.
Armor Plating (1) As the name implies, armor plates are
applied to the arm providing a stackable +1 AC bonus.
Though it technically only covers the arm, it does stack with
any other armor (thus only +1). The armor is pliable and form
fitting and does not restrict movement, thus any armor worn
over it benefits from the bonus and no additional penalties
are added. If you get 2 arms and armor plate both, the price
includes armor plating for both (so the price is the same for
one or both arms), but the AC bonus is still only +1 whether
you plate one or both arms. However, the +1 does not stack
with any other cybernetic plating (e.g. Replacement Leg
Plating, Subdermal Plating, or Skinweave).
Enhanced Hydraulic Joints (2) The existing hydraulic
joints are enhanced to store more potential energy and thus
increase jump height. You gain an automatic 10 ft to your
jump on top of your Strength score or bonus (for long or high
jumps respectively). This automatic 10 ft applies to either
horizontal or vertical jumps.
Flame Thrower (2) This is a small, high-pressure flame jet
that shoots fire in a 5 foot wide 15 foot long line, and contains
enough fuel for 4 shots. A creature cuaght in the line of flame
must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 fire
damage the first round and 1d6 fire damage the following
three rounds. On a successful save it takes half damage.
After these rounds the fuel supply is depleted and must be
replaced. It costs 20 credits to refuel this upgrade.
Grenade Launcher (2) This launcher is a modified
support grenade launcher, stored in a popup mount. One
grenade (you may use any type) is stored in the launcher; a
reload may be dropped in after the first one is used.
Hidden Thigh Holster (1) This is essentially the Robocop
pop-out holster. It can hold any size of pistol, but nothing
bigger.
Micro-Missle Launcher (2.5) This launcher contains four
miniature missiles (explosive tipped gyro rounds with heat
seeking guidance and steering vents). Like the popup gun, the
micromissile launcher is stored in the limb and pops out
when needed, launching two missiles per round. The missiles
are are self-guided and require a DC 15 Dexterity saving
throw to dodge, dealing 4d6 bludgeoning damage and 1d6
fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful
one. Missiles cost 50 credits each to replace.
Mounted Firearm (1.25) You are fitted with a barrel that
pops up from your forearm. There is a slot on the inside of
your forearm to load the magazine. This firearm is the
equivalent of a light or medium pistol and has all the same
stats including damage, range, and ROF. You cannot mount
anything “heavier” than a light or medium pistol.
Plastic Covering (-) Plastic Covering is a covering that can
be applied to any replacement limb. Plastic is the cheapest
and is available in variety of colors, with airbrushing, or
transparent with imbedded lights and holography.
RealSkinn™ (-) RealSkinn™ is the most expensive covering
that can be applied to any replacement limb. RealSkinn
coverings are a flexible plastic that looks convincingly like
skin; with follicles, hairs, small scars and imperfections, it
has a 75% chance as passing as a real flesh limb.
Retractable Blade(s) (1.25) The plural option is there not
because you can mount more than one, but you either have a
“single” blade that extends and retracts, or you can have 2 or
3 claws that do the same. In either case the blades (single,
double, or triple) have either Dagger or Short Sword stats
including damage and Critical Range. If you choose to have
Dagger stats, then the blades are a bit shorter, conversely if
you choose Short Sword they are a bit longer. In either case,
they are still considered light weapons for purposes of
Weapon Finesse. You have the option of them either
extending from the wrist or the back of the hand (Wolverine-
style).
Shield Panel (Small/Medium) (.5, 1) This accessory is
mounted on the forearm like a bracer. On the outside of the
forearm is a slit that the panels spring from. Depending on
style, several hexagonal panels spring out and form a round
shield, or several “pie-wedge” shapes spiral into the same
form. Regardless of style, the end result is a round shield
(small or medium) for the player to use. All shield rules apply
and they share the same stats as the regular shields.
Speed Servos Enhanced servos are added to the hip,
knee, and ankle joints that increase running and movement
speed. The +10 ft is to base movement, and x2, x3, and x4
(sometimes x5) running and movement rules apply.
Superchrome® (-) Superchrome® is the middle ground in
terms of limb covering price, and as such is one of the most
popular covering options. Rather than cover up the
replacement limb, Superchrome "Chromes out" your limb
and coats it in a shiny chrome paint job. This won't help to
disguise your limb but it will help prevent against it rusting.
91
 Super Speed Servos (3.5) Super-Enhanced servos are
added to the hip, knee, and ankle joints that increase running
and movement speed. The +20 ft is to base movement, and
x2, x3, and x4 (sometimes x5) running and movement rules
apply. However, the max speed of 120 kmph can only be
reached with enough running distance. To reach max speed,
you need at least 100 m of open space.
Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous cybernetics are cybernetics that don't quite fit
into any other category. These cybernetics are usually very
large, rare, expensive, and high in Constitution Cost - but
you'll be hard pressed to find more powerful cybernetics from
any other category.
Octo-Arms (3.5) You replace an arm with four smaller
arms that all fit in the same socket. These arms are thin and
flexible, resembling a tentacle and as such can not receive
any arm accessories. You can however; add a hand of your
choosing to each arm, after you buy the hand of course. The
standard hand the Octo-arms come with is a simple claw that
can only be used for grasping.

PART 7
Vehicles

Vehicles
Unless there's an explicit reason in the world lore, it's safe to
assume that in a modern or sci-fi world most, if not all, adult
characters know how to drive vehicles, and players will likely
want to do so. This section provides rules for ground, water,
air, and military vehicles that the players might run into
throughout their journey, and also provides rules for
operating vehicles. While this section doesn't have every type
of vehicle known to man, it should be enough to provide a
decent starting ground for DMs to create their own as
needed.
One thing you may notice is this section doesn't list any
rules for mechs or spacecraft. This is intentional as both of
these vehicle types are completely unique and largely based
in fiction, so I'm intentionally avoiding them. If you are
looking for rules for these vehcile types, don't fret. You can
find rules for mechs in the Greasemonkey's Handbook
available on DMsGuild, and expansive rules for spacecraft in
Dark Matter by Mage Hand Press.
Vehicle Rules
Getting in and out of a vehicle costs an amount of movement
equal to half your speed.
Vehicles have a top speed, which indicates the maximum
speed the vehicle can achieve. Additionally, vehicles have an
acceleration speed, which determines the speed you can
increase or decrease on each turn.
Passengers. The table indicates the number of small or
medium passengers (in addition to the driver) the vehicle is
designed to carry. Vehicles that carry passengers can use that
space to carry additional cargo when passengers aren't
present. Each unused passenger slot allows the vehicle to
carry an additional 100 pounds of cargo.
Cargo. The table indicates the maximum amount of cargo
the vehicle is designed to carry. Some vehicles can carry
extra passengers instead of cargo, but doing so is usually a
cramped, uncomfortable, and often unsafe experience for
those passengers. As a rule of thumb, one additional
passenger can be carried for each 250 pounds of unused
cargo capacity.
Damage Threshold. A vehicle has immunity to all damage
unless it takes an amount of damage equal to or greater than
its damage threshold, in which case it takes damage as
normal. Any damage that fails to meet or exceed the damage
threshold is considered superficial (such as a dent in the side)
and doesn't reduce the vehicle's hit points.
Acceleration
You have three ways to increase or decrease the speed while
driving a vehicle.
The driver can use its action to increase or decrease the
speed up to the acceleration speed.
Making a Dexterity check, the driver can try to increase or
decrease the speed up to twice the acceleration speed (DC
10)
Making a Dexterity check, the driver can try to increase or
decrease the speed up to three times the acceleration
speed (DC 15), allowing the driver to achieve the top
speed in just 1 turn.
94
If a driver fails any check, it loses the control of the vehicle.
Controlling the Vehicle
In general, while driving a vehicle you don't need to roll for
maintaining control of the vehicle, but there are some actions
where the driver must make a Dexterity (Vehicle Handling)
check or lose the control, such as dodging an obstacle,
resisting a ram, trying to control a vehicle while someone else
is in the drivers seat, or attempting to control a vehicle you
aren't proficient with.
If a player successfully makes the check to control the
vehicle, they get to options on how to proceed: stopping the
vehicle, or to keep going. If the driver choses to stop the
vehicle, the vehicle continues moving at it's current speed,
dropping in acceleration by 100 feet every turn until the
vehicle comes to a stop. If a player chooses to keep going,
they simply pass the check and continue to maintain control
of the vehicle. The save number to maintain control of the
vehicle and applying advantage or disadvantage is
determined by the DM based on the situation.
In all vehicles, only the driver (or pilot/captain) can make
the check to control the vehicle. DM determines the
exceptions to this rule.
Losing Control
If a creature fails a check to control a vehicle, they cannot
increase or decrease the speed. At the beginning of each turn
while the car is out of control, the driver must roll a d8 and
compare the result with the following table.
d8 Result
1
The vehicle decreases its speed up to its acceleration
speed
2
The vehicle turns to the left, decreasing its speed up to
its acceleration speed
The vehicle turns to the right, decreasing its speed up
3
to its acceleration speed
4
The vehicle spins out of control, decreasing its speed
up to twice its acceleration speed
5 The vehicle turns to the left and crashes
6 The vehicle turns to the right and crashes
7 The vehicle crashes
8
The vehicle rolls as it crashes, taking 3d6 bludgeoning
damage on each turn until the speed reaches 0
If the vehicle doesn't crash, the driver can use its action on
each turn to make a Dexterity check (DC 10) to regain control
of the vehicle.
Crashing (Land Vehicles)
If a driver loses control of the vehicle, it’s very probable that a
crash occurs. When it happens, the vehicle and its occupants
take bludgeoning damage depending on the speed of the
vehicle when it crashes, as shown in the table below. Any
occupant using seat belts suffers only half of the damage.
Land Crash Damage Vehicle Combat
Crashing Speed Damage As a general rule, the driver has disadvantage on attack rolls

31-50 2d8
51-70 3d8 If the driver or the passengers wants to make an attack
using a ranged weapon or a spell, they must unfasten the
71-90 4d8 seat belt first. Fastening or unfastening a seat belt uses a
91-110 5d8 bonus action.
When making a ranged attack, you can target the vehicle
111-130 6d8
or the occupants.
131-150 7d8 Vehicles grants half cover to its occupants. Alternatively,
151-170 8d8 they can use the vehicle AC instead (whichever is higher).

Ramming
211-230 11d8 While driving, you can move your vehicle to an adjacent space
231-250 12d8 of the target and ram it with your vehicle using an action.
251-270 13d8 Make a single melee attack, adding your Dexterity modifier
and your proficiency bonus if you are proficient with land

Vehicle Descriptions
The vehicles listed above are meant to be generalizations of
types of vehicles. For DMs, I admittedly know close to
nothing about real life vehicles so if something feels off,
change it to fit better in your setting. If you don't understand
what some of the columns in the vehicles table means, refer
to the Vehicle Rules section of this chapter. Due to the fact
that most people know only the basics about vehicles, I will
only be describing the three categories instead of each
individual vehicle.
Landcraft are vehicles you drive on land. Pretty self
explanatory, these vehicles range from motorcycles to tanks.
(tanks are not included in this compendium)
Aircraft
Aircraft are vehicles that fly. These vehicles range from
simple biplanes to the mighty Flying Fortress. (think of a
Helicarrier from Marvel)
Watercraft
Watercraft are vehicles that operate in or under water.
Ranging from the humble jet ski to submarines and yachts,
these should have just about everything one needs for a
nautical adventure.

person you've ever met.
You can use your action to mark a creature you can see
within 120 feet of you for 1 hour. You have advantage on
any Wisdom (Perception) or Wisdom (Survival) check you
make to find the marked creature. Additionally, as long as
the creature is marked, you can discern whether or not the
creature has passed through a location. You can have only
one creature marked at a time.
Whenever you reduce a target to 0 hit points with any
attack you make or spell that you cast, you can
Car Mechanic
You have spent years of looking and repairing cars, gaining
the following benefits:
You gain proficiency with the mechanic tools.
Whenever you repair a damaged vehicle using the
mechanic tools, you repair an extra number of hit points of
damage equal to half your proficiency bonus per day.
Cyber Resilience
Something in you makes you more resistant to the effects of
Cybernetics. You gain the following benefits.
Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of
20.
All Constitution Costs for Cybernetics are halved, rounded
up.
Decommisioner
Charged with recalling defective constructs, hunting
renegade androids, and quarantining rogue AI,
decommissioners are experts in slaying machines. You gain
the following benefits:
By spending 1 minute observing or conversing with a
creature, you can discern if that creature is a disguised
construct, such as an android. If the creature is a construct
or living construct, you can tell if the construct is
malfunctioning and if the construct is infected with the N-
Virus (even if the virus is dormant.)
When a construct or living construct within 5 feet of you
make an attack, you can use your reaction to make a
melee weapon attack against that creature.
When you hit a construct with a melee weapon attack, you
can cripple its joints. Its speed is reduced by 10 feet, to a
minimum of 0, until the end of its next turn, and it can’t
take the Dash action until the end of its turn.
Engineer
Thanks to extensive work and understanding of electronic
devices, you gain the following benefits:
Increase your Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
You gain proficiency with the engineering kit.
You have advantage on Intelligence checks made to
diagnose and repair electronic or mechanical devices.
Expert Driver
You have been driving more time than most of the common
people, gaining the following benefits:
You gain proficiency with vehicles (land)
Whenever you make a Dexterity check to accelerate or do
a maneuver such as dodging an obstacle or resisting a
ram, you can add twice your proficiency bonus.

safety and fortune to the hands of fate. You gain the following
benefits:
You gain proficiency in all gaming sets and have advantage
on ability checks you make for games of chance.
Once on each of your turns, before you roll damage, you
can place stakes on the roll. Choose less than the average,
or higher than or equal to the average. If you choose
correctly, you can add one additional die of damage to the
roll. If you choose incorrectly, you must remove the
damage die with the highest number.
Gunslinger
Prerequisite: Proficiency with at least one firearm.
Thanks to extensive practice with firearms, you gain the
following benefits:
Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn't impose
disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls with firearms.
Once per turn when you attack with a firearm you can
reload it as a free action.

You gain proficiency in the Data skill. If you are already
proficient in the skill, you add double your proficiency
bonus to checks you make with it.
You can attempt to hack devices even when you do not
have a hacking rig. If you do have a hacking rig, you can
attempt to hack a device as an action, rather than in one
minute.

your jump distance or jump height, respectively.
Once per turn, when you have advantage on an attack roll
using a maul, rocket hammer, warhammer, or
wrenchinator, you can push the target 10 feet away from
you on a hit. You don't need advantage on this attack if the
target is one size category smaller than you or smaller.

G
ames set in a more technologically advanced time
frame requires new conditions that are not
normally touched upon in more typical fantasy
style games. How to interact in areas with zero
or low gravity, encountering radiation, and how
the passage of time affects pieces of weaponry
and technology are included in this section. Also included in
this section are several new skills your character may
encounter, how they work, and what they do.
Conditions
While few players memorize all the conditions of the game,
the DM often needs to keep them memorized in the event
they occur. This section will be especially pertinent for the
DM to look through.
system for breaking & ripping off limbs needed --
makes cybernetics more relevant and makes
meelee classes interesting again.
Bleed-Out
When an individual takes a significant amount of damage
from a single attack they start to bleed-out. Typically the
damage must equal 3/4 of the max health but some instances
may cause bleed-out to happen at the DMs discretion.
Once Bleed-Out begins the target suffers 10 damage per
round minus their Constitution modifier (10 - Con/round).
with each round the target must roll a Constitution save with
the DC equalling 20 minus their Constitution modifier (DC =
20 - Con). with each success the amount of bleed-out damage
is reduced by 5.
This condition can be removed with a lesser restoration
spell.
Critical Fails on Firearms
One of the worst feelings is the gut sinking feeling of that

simply breaking; it happens even in the best conditions.
Each failure with a firearm you must roll on this table to
determine the effect. With each failure you expand the range
of a critical failure by 1 (natural 1, to 1-2, 1-3 and so on) and
you add an additional 1 to the table roll with each failure.
Each consecutive failure adds 30cd to the repair cost.

Inoperable. Your firearm has had a critical component
break. Whether it's the barrel cracking, trigger breaking,
firing pin retainer not retaining the firing pin, or some other
failure; your gun no longer works. Take the accumulated
repair costs and double them to determine how much to
repair the gun to be able to function again. Sometimes its
cheaper to fix a gun than buy a new one, other times not so
much.
If you rolled a 20 on the very first failure, take the total cost
of the gun, including modifications, and use half of that as the
repair cost.
Pinned
Individuals experiencing the frightened condition in a gun
fight can use their action to move into cover so long as the
cover is within a distance of half their Wisdom modifier
(rounded down) times 5 (5x(wis/2)=distance) to a minimum
of 5 feet; even if that distance is closer to the source of their
fear. While behind cover and frightened, the target is

able to remove them quicker.

in level 11 radiation. When the magical item has 5 radiation points it is destroyed.

About the table
I'm actually quite proud of how the radiation table turned out,
as a lot of thought and math went into developing it.
Mutations
Whether you were born with them, or developed them later in
life through unfortunate means, mutations are a fact of life for
many individuals in a cyberpunk reality. Mutations can occur
from any number of incidents, such as being exposed to
constant or powerful radiation, falling into heavily polluted
rivers, strange magic or experiments, or anything else your
DM comes up with. Majority of the time, mutations are given
out by your DM as they see fit, with the rare exception being
the Radiation Freak subclass and a few spells.
Mutations are designed to be generally harmless, neither
benefiting nor harming your character in any way other than
cosmetically. Exceptions are again determined by your DM.
I've provided a basic example of both a positive and negative
effect from mutations here to provide a potential jumping
ground. Positively, a creature that develops extra eyes from
mutations may gain advantage on sight based Perception
checks, given the eyes are uncovered. Negative exceptions
might occur in penalties when making Charisma checks due
to your unsavory appearance.
To gain a mutation, roll on the first d20 table to determine
what your mutation is, and then roll on the d20 body location
table to determine where the mutation takes place. Some
mutations (such as tentacles replacing limbs) may not apply
to all places on the body location table. If you do gain one of
these mutations simply choose a place that makes sense for
the mutation. Other mutations (such as growing multiple eyes
or mouths) have several mutations at once. You can roll these
mutations individually, giving each new eye a different place,
or you can have them all develop in one place.
Constructs and undead cannot be mutated, and mutations
cannot appear on body locations that have been replaced
with cybernetics.

Timeworn Technology
Between languishing in forgotten ruins open to the elements,
being used by those ignorant of the nature of this technology,
and having no one skilled at building, maintaining, or
repairing such devices, many technological items are
“timeworn” — damaged and malfunctioning (when not
completely nonfunctional). These malfunctions manifest in
two ways: limited charges and glitches.
Only technological items that consume charges or
pharmaceutical items can be affected by these timeworn
rules.
A piece of timeworn technology may have additional
aesthetic and functional differences from a new piece of the
same equipment. Many of these effects are purely cosmetic,
such as cracks in the casing of a grenade or primitive
etchings on a suit of technological armor placed there by a
barbarian millennia ago (DMs are encouraged to use the
tables found at pages 142 and 143 of the Dungeon Master’s
Guide to help add character to these items). Pieces of
timeworn technology may also have minor mechanical effects
beyond glitches (at the DM’s discretion). A timeworn phaser
might constantly hum at a low but noticeable frequency.
A timeworn Blitz Cannon could be caked in a strange
viscous fluid that has a pungent odor, making its wielder
more easily tracked via scent. Timeworn technological items
should clearly evoke a sense of age and danger, and even the
most standard piece of gear can be made unique based on
individual deteriorations.
106
Note that not every technological item is timeworn, but
most technology that PCs encounter outside of the deepest
and most remote of ruins will be. These items function as
presented in the previous chapter, can be recharged, and do
not suffer glitches.
Timeworn technology also has the following properties.
Non-Rechargable
Timeworn technological items can’t be recharged or reloaded.
When a timeworn technological item is properly identified or
first used, roll randomly to determine how many uses it has
left before it becomes useless.
Glitches
Timeworn technology sometimes doesn’t work the way it was
originally intended to. When an item glitches, its effect is
hampered or enhanced, as determined by a d100 roll. See
below for a complete list of glitch effects for armor, weapons,
pharmaceuticals, and other technological equipment. Not all
glitches are catastrophic; they represent unpredictable
effects, for good and ill.
Timeworn Technology Glitches
doesn’t always work as intended. There’s a 50% chance that
timeworn items glitch under the following conditions.
When an item is first used after a month or more of
inactivity.
Anytime a single-use consumable is used.
When using an item in a way that would drain its last
charge.
When an item requires a d20 roll (such as an ability check
or an attack roll) to activate or use, and that roll results in
a natural 1.
When a critical hit is scored against the wearer of an
active defensive item, such as armor or a force field.
Not all glitches are catastrophic. When an item glitches, its
effect is hampered or enhanced, as determined by a d100 roll.
For items that can consume a variable number of charges,
these additional charges do not affect the item’s performance;
if such an item must consume twice as many charges, the
amount is based on how many charges the user intended to
use. When a glitch would cause an item to consume more
charges than it currently holds, the item is drained of all
charges and fails to function, but any negative effects still
occur. Items that fail to function simply shut down if activated,
and cannot be activated again for 1 round.

Zero-G Combat
Situations arise when the characters are on a derelict station
with no artificial gravity or they must deal with a dangerous
entity that has latched itself onto the ship’s hull. Lack of
sound, dulled perceptions, and limited freedom of movement
can create complications. The following combat rules apply
when in Zero-G.
Attacking in Zero-G
When making a melee weapon attack, a creature who is
floating in Zero-G has disadvantage on their attack roll. If a
creature is grappled, both the grappled creature and the
creature that grappled it may make melee attacks on each
other at no penalty. A creature making a ranged weapon
attack has disadvantage to their attack roll unless they are
also holding onto a secured, solid object with their off-hand,
such as a secured beam or a hatch handle. The disadvantage
penalty to both melee and ranged weapon attacks may also
be offset while wearing specialized gear, such as magnetic
boots, or while under the effect of a feat such as the Zero-G
Training feat. You can operate firearms in space.
108
Low and High Gravity
While moving in gravity that is closer to half than normal
(low-gravity) you can double your jumping distance and
carrying capacity. When the gravity is closer to twice than
normal (high-gravity), your jump distance and carrying
capacity is halved. Also, you move in high-gravity as if you
were in difficult terrain.
Moving in Zero Gravity
To move in zero gravity, you must be within 5 feet of a
secured, solid surface and make a successful DC 10 Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check. You move in a straight line at your full
normal speed each round.
Stopping your move or changing your move direction
requires you to be within 5 feet of a secured surface or a
securely fastened item you can grab onto such as a beam,
hatch handle, outstretched hand, or other such object. You
must then spend a bonus action and succeed on a DC 10
Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. If you fail this check, you
continue to move. If you encounter a secured, solid surface
before your next turn, you crash into the surface and are
considered prone until the end of your next turn.
The skill checks required for both moving and stopping
may be made as passive checks if you are not involved in
combat or other stressful situations.
Other Actions in Zero-G
Making a melee or ranged weapon attack while you are
moving in Zero-G does not stop your movement. Making a
ranged weapon attack does not stop your movement unless
you are using a weapon with the Heavy property. If you fire
one of these weapons while moving or floating in Zero-G, you
move at a rate equal to your walking speed in the opposite
direction of your intended target, regardless of whether or
not the attack was successful (see “Moving in Zero Gravity”
earlier in this chapter). You may not use the Dash, Disengage,
or Dodge actions. Moving past another creature does not
provoke opportunity attacks.
Operating in Vacuums
Places that lack gravity more often than not take place in
vacuums (such as space). These vacuums are most notably
characterized by the lack of air, which introduces several
problems expanded upon here.
Sound requires some form of medium to travel through,
and thus no sound -- like talking or screaming -- can be
produced in space without without specialized means,
such as a spacesuit or spell. Because a creature cannot
produce sound in a vacuum without these means, they
cannot cast spells that require verbal components.
Because sound cannot be produced in a vacuum, any
creatures in a vacuum cannot verbally communicate.
Communication can be achieved through means such as
telepathy, radio communication (such as a radio included
in a spacesuit), or other means of nonverbal
communication such as hand gestures.
All creatures in a vacuum are automatically considered to
be deafened (except as described above).
 Fire requires oxygen to survive, and thus cannot be
produced in a vacuum. Any effect, spell, item, or other
means that would produce fire automatically fails if you
are in the vacuum of space.
Creatures that need to breathe to survive cannot survive in
a vacuum. Any creature that needs to breathe and is
exposed to a vacuum without proper preparation must
immediately follow the rules for suffocation.
Getting Sucked Out
When in places such as a space station, the most dangerous
hazard is the potential of getting sucked out into space.
Usually this happens when the hull of the station or ship
breaches, but exceptions can happen as necessary. The
general rules apply when such an event happens, and
characters "get sucked out". Such an event is practically
always sudden and surprising, and characters rarely if ever
have the wherewithal to react to getting sucked out.
When an event that would suck characters or creatures out
takes place, the following events happen in numerical order.
These events are designed to be immediate and jarring, and
stage 7 should be reached within two turns at the absolute
most with the second turn beginning at stage 4. It is helpful to
have the characters role initiative as soon as the event takes
place and have them take actions accordingly to help manage
the chaos. Actively try to resolve these turns as rapidly as
possible with your players to give the scenario a more urgent
and stressful feeling.
Realistically, in the real world these events would all
happen simultaneously within one or two seconds of the hull
being breached, but the Rule of Cool dictates the players
should have a chance to interact in scenarios like this
(otherwise they will feel railroaded), so I've attempted to
develop a system that allows them to do so while still keeping
the inherent danger and stress prevalent.
Turn 1
1. All creatures and players in the breached areas are
immediately surprised unless they explicitly knew the
event was about to take place beforehand and took at least
two turns to prepare themselves in some logical way (such
as strapping themselves down, rushing towards an exit for
the area, or finding a way to preserve their breath).
2. As soon as the breach forms, all air in the location is
immediately and violently sucked out into the vacuum,
carrying everything in the area with it. All creatures in the
location affected location must pass a DC 23 Constitution
saving throw to hold their breath. All creatures that need
to breathe and fail this save immediately begin suffocating.
Creatures that don't need to breath, and creatures that are
prepared for this step (such as wearing a space suit or
through the usage of magic) may ignore this step.
3. All creatures in the vicinity are deafened as the air in the
affected area rushes out into the vacuum at breakneck
speeds.
4. All items and creatures that are not firmly attached to the
location are immediately sucked out into the vacuum. If a
creature is sucked out, they move in that same direction at
two to four times their normal speed, or at a set amount of
distance per round (both options are determined by the
DM). Creatures (and objects) continue moving at this
speed as prescribed in the Zero-G rules, and only stopped
when they meet the criteria also found in the Zero-G rules.
Creatures can make a DC 26 Dexterity saving throw to
grab onto something to prevent getting sucked out. If a
creature successfully grabs onto something, it must then
make a DC 27 Strength saving throw to continue holding
on.
Turn 2
5. At this point, the location itself will usually react,
assuming it isn't completely destroyed and is still able to
function. To prevent complete loss of life and the total
destruction of the location, computerized systems will
automatically engage in lockdown procedures, causing
three things to happen. First, the doors surrounding the
area will automatically close and seal themselves off,
trapping everything in the breached area to preserve
everything else. These doors usually cannot be reopened
until the breach is sealed. Second, the lights throughout
the location will turn off to conserve power and flash with
emergency colors. Finally, the location will blare loud
warning sounds until the breach is sealed to notify and
grab the attention of any other creatures inside the safe
areas of the ship. I encourage the DM to be creative with
this step. Will the lights all blink at once, or will they lead
others to the breached area? What if the location was built
by a race of deaf beings, so instead the location sent out
frequent static shocks to grab the attention of the other
crewmates? Stuff like that makes this unique encounter
more memorable than it already hopefully is, especially to
those who aren't in the breached location.
6. If a creature grabbed onto something as described in
stage 4, they must make another strength saving throw of
the same DC to continue holding on as the last of the air is
sucked out into the vacuum.
7. By stage 7, all the hair has been sucked out of the location,
and the area is now under Zero-G rules. Any remaining
creatures grabbing on to the location as described in
stages 1, 4, and 6 are now free to release themselves. Any
creatures or objects that did get sucked out continue to
travel in that direction unless they are stopped as
described in the Zero-G rules.
109
 Turn 3 & Beyond
8. Even though a creature can no longer get sucked out by
this stage, they must still actively try to resolve their
situation as fast as possible. Important objects and
creatures that got sucked out need to be retrieved as fast
as possible before they become too far away to do so.
Players still need to deal with any potential hostile
creatures that still remain. Players are still deafened,
following the rules of communicating as described above
in the Operating in Vacuums section. Lastly and most
importantly, most creatures are likely still holding their
breath, and they're locked out of the rest of the location
with breathable air! They'll need to swiftly deal find
another entrance, get someone on the other side to force
open the door (potentially causing them to get sucked out
as well), or swiftly patch the breach before they suffocate.
9. When all of this is said and done, all surviving creatures
take two levels of exhaustion.
Getting sucked out is a dangerous and serious matter, and
the DM should not throw this situation at the players without
proper consideration of the outcomes, which could easily be
several player and important npc deaths. This system is
intentionally punishing, as getting sucked out into a vacuum
like space is not something one can easily walk away from. I
strongly recommend giving the players hints this will happen
before this scenario begins, allowing them to have the chance
to prepare as described in stage 1.

Casting Time:
Range:
Components:
Duration:
Antimatter
2nd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You touch a non-magical ranged weapon of your choice that
deals piercing damage, charging each shot in its magazine
with terrifying anti-matter that viciously shreds through the
air with the deafening sound of cackling unstable energy.
Targets struck by this enchanted ammunition take additional
damage equal to one additional roll of that weapons damage
dice. Attacks made with antimatter rounds can be fired at
long range without the imposition of disadvantage, and deal
necrotic damage instead of piercing. Creatures that are
reduced to 0 hit points from a weapon attack using
antimatter rounds die instantly and disintegrate into nothing.
Unfired rounds in the magazine after this spell ends
disintegrate into fine dust particles. This spell ends early if
the target weapon is reloaded.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 2nd level or higher, roll one additional dice of that
weapons damage dice for every spell slot level above 3rd.
Antitech Field
7th-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (10-foot radius sphere)
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of rust)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You bring into being a mobile, hemispherical energy field that
prevents technological items, signals, and creatures from
entering.
An antitech field suppresses any technological effect used
within, brought into, or deployed into the area, but does not
destroy it. Time spent within an antitech field counts against
the suppressed effect’s duration.
Robots and other nonmagical constructs that come in
contact with an antitech field must attempt a Constitution
saving throw each round they remain in the field or be
stunned. An affected creature can make a new Constitution
saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success,
they are no longer stunned, but suffer disadvantage on their
ability checks and attack rolls until it leaves the antitech field.
Partially technological creatures such as those with
cybernetics suffer disadvantage on all attack rolls and ability
checks if they fail this saving throw, but are not stunned. Note
that cybernetic upgrades do not function in an antitech field,
and all benefits granted by such upgrades are suppressed. If a
creature with a cybernetic heart enters an antitech field, they
drop to 0 hit points and must begin to make death saving
throws. If they have cybernetic lungs, they begin to suffocate.
Non-technological creatures can enter the area, as can
regular missiles like sling stones and arrows. Technological
missiles such as bullets and missiles, as well as high-tech
rays like lasers and particle beams, immediately halt upon
contacting the field, and either drop to the ground harmlessly
or detonate. The antitech field does not offer any protection
against explosions caused by technological explosives
detonating against it thus, creatures within the field could
still take damage from an explosive that explodes against it.
If a creature is larger than the area enclosed by the barrier,
any part of the creature that lies outside the barrier is
unaffected by the field.
This spell can be used only defensively, not aggressively.
Forcing an antitech field against technological creatures
causes it to collapse.
Antitech Magic Circle
4th-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (powdered copper worth at least
1,000cd, which the spell consumes)
Duration: 1 hour
You create a 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder of magical
energy centered on a point on the ground that you can see
within range. Glowing runes appear wherever the cylinder
intersects with the floor or other surface. While active, the
following effects take place:
Technological creatures can’t willingly enter the cylinder
by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use
teleportation or interplanar travel to do so, it must first
succeed on a Charisma saving throw.
Technological creatures suffer disadvantage on attack
rolls against targets within the cylinder.
Targets within the cylinder can’t be charmed, frightened, or
possessed by technological creatures.
When you cast this spell, you can elect to cause its magic
to operate in the reverse direction, preventing a
technological creature from leaving the cylinder and
protecting targets outside it.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 5th level or higher, the duration increases by 1 hour for
each slot level above 4th.
Arcane Graffiti
Conjuration cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a can of spray paint)
Duration: Until dispelled
This spell allows you to inscribe your personal rune, a
graphic image, or a short message, on a nonliving creature or
object. The graffiti can be no larger than 6 feet in height and
7 feet in length, and can consist of no more than eight words.
An arcane graffiti spell enables you to etch, paint, or
otherwise imprint the graffiti upon any substance (even stone
or metal) without harming the material upon which the mark
is placed. The graffiti can be visible or invisible. If invisible
graffiti is made, the casting of any spell within 30 feet causes
it to become visible for 5 rounds.
115
 Arcane Hacking
2nd-level transmutation (technomagic)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (Hacking Tools)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You gain advantage on all Intelligence checks using hacking
tools to break software encryption or online security when
using a foreign system. This spell also allows you to break
2nd level and lower protective spells such as arcane lock or
glyph of warding by making an Intelligence check using
hacking tools against the spell save DC of the spell’s caster.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, you can attempt to break protective
spells of one level higher for each slot level above 2nd.
Awaken Vehicle
6th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 8 hours
Range: Touch
Components: : V, S, M (holy motor oil worth at least
150,000cd, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous
After spending the casting time tracing blessed motor oil in
magical roadways along the exterior of the vehicle, you touch
a huge or smaller vehicle. The vehicle becomes a sentient
vehicle, and gains an Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma of
10. The target also gains the ability to speak one language
you know. The vehicle gains senses similar to a human’s.
The awakened vehicle is charmed by you for 30 days or
until you and your companions do anything harmful to it.
When the charmed condition ends, the awakened vehicle
chooses whether to remain friendly to you, based on how you
treated it while it was charmed.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 8th level or higher, the vehicle can be of any size.
Autosave
Cantrip abjuration (technomagic)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: S, M (the 'Control' and 'S' keys from a
computer)
Duration: 8 hours
You touch a computer, imbuing it with protective energy over
its files. Files on the computer will automatically save,
repeatedly. If the computer crashes, runs out of power, or
encounters other difficulties, its files will be in the state they
were left when the computer is returned to working order.
This will not work if the computer is completely destroyed.
After 8 hours, the computer no longer auto-saves its content.
116
Boomerang Shot
Cantrip transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Firearm range
Components: V, M (a ranged weapon)
Duration: Instantaneous
As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a
ranged weapon attack with a weapon against one target
within the weapon’s range. If the attack misses, you can use
your reaction to make the attack again at the same target,
ignoring advantage, disadvantage, and cover. If the attack
misses a second time, roll your weapon’s damage dice. You
take the rolled amount as damage of the weapon’s damage
type.
The attack deals an extra 1d8 damage when you reach 5th
level (1d8), 11th level (2d8), and 17th level (3d8).
Burglar's Buddy
2nd-level illusion (technomagic)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (10-foot radius)
Components: V, S, M (a camera lens cover)
Duration: 1 minute
You create a magical area around you, suppressing all
mechanical or electronic intrusion alarms and alarm sensors
in the area. Burglar alarms or other intrusion alarms within
the affected area simply fail to function; sensors for intrusion
alarm systems (such as motion detectors, IR detectors,
pressure sensors, electric eyes, and so forth) also fail to
function, sending no signal to monitoring stations. Video
surveillance devices stop sending whatever the image they
were photographing the moment when the spell was cast.
Camouflage Vehicle
3rd-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (an unpaid parking ticket)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
A vehicle you touch becomes invisible until the spell ends.
Creatures are also invisible while inside the vehicle. While
you are within 60 feet of the vehicle, you can speak a
command word to end the spell. The spell ends when the
vehicle or any creature inside the vehicle attacks, casts a
spell, or takes damage.
Censor from Photographs
2nd-level illusion (technomagic)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a black marker)
Duration: 1 hour
You appear normal to vision, but photos taken of you show
your body completely blacked out, as if the photo was
scribbled on with a black marker. While taking a photo, a
person can see you. Only the resulting photo is blackened.
This does not work with videos.
Chaos Shot
3rd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Firearm range
Components: V, M (a ranged weapon)
Duration: Instantaneous
As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a
ranged attack with a weapon against a creature or vehicle
within range. If you hit, your ammunition erupts with chaotic
magical energy. Roll a d8. The number rolled on the d8
determines the damage type for all attacks made as part of
this spell, as shown below.
d8 Damage Type
1 Acid
2 Cold
3 Fire
4 Force
5 Lightning
6 Poison
7 Psychic
8 Thunder
Additionally, on a hit the shot must redirect itself from the
target to a different creature of your choice within 30 feet of
it. Make a new attack roll against the new target, and reroll
the d8 to determine the damage type again.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, each target of this spell takes an
additional 1d8 damage of the rolled type for each slot level
above 3rd.
Combat Malware
3rd-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a blinking LED light)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You send a bright flash of light against a nonmagical
construct you are fighting to overload their combat hardware.
The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save, the target takes 3d6 psychic damage and has
disadvantage on attack rolls until the spell ends. On
subsequent turns while the spell is active, you can reapply the
damage as an action as long as the target is within range
when you do so.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, you can target one additional
construct for each slot level above 3rd. The constructs must
be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.
Commandeer Vehicle
7th-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You attempt to commandeer a vehicle that you can see within
range. If the vehicle is sentient, or if it currently has a driver, it
(or the driver) must make a Constitution saving throw. On a
failure, the vehicle is commandeered.
While the vehicle is commandeered, you have a telepathic
link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of
existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands
to the vehicle while you are conscious (no action required). If
it is not already, the vehicle becomes sentient and can
perform its own actions to obey your commands. You can
specify a simple and general course of action, such as “Drive
in that direction,” “Run over that creature,” or “Crash into
that wall.” If the vehicle completes the order and doesn't
receive further direction from you, it does nothing.
A creature at the vehicle’s controls or a previously sentient
vehicle can attempt to wrench control away from you, causing
the vehicle to make a new Constitution saving throw against
the spell. If the saving throw succeeds, the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 8th level, the duration is concentration, up to 1 hour.
When you use a spell slot of 9th level, the duration is
concentration, up to 8 hours.
Commune with City
5th-level divinination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self
Components: V,S
Duration: Instantaneous
You briefly become one with the city and gain knowledge of
the surrounding area. Above ground, this spell gives you
knowledge of the area within 1 mile of you. In sewers and
other underground settings, you gain knowledge of the area
within 600 feet of you. You instantly gain knowledge of up to
three facts of your choice about any of the following subjects
as they relate to the area:
Terrain and bodies of water
Prevalent buildings, plants, animals, or intelligent
creatures
Powerful (CR 1) or higher celestials, fey, fiends,
elementals, or undead influences from other planes of
existence
Electrical currents, wireless signals, and active transit
lines and tracks
For example, you could determine the location of powerful
undead in the area, the location of major sources of electrical
power or interference, and the location of any nearby parks.
117
 Conjure Knowbot
4th-level conjuration (technomagic)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: 10 minutes
You touch a single computerized device or computerized
system to conjure a Knowbot -- a partially sentient piece of
software imprinted with vestiges of your own skills and
computer abilities. For the duration of the spell, you can use a
bonus action to have the knowbot execute a computer related
task that would normally require an action. Knowbots are
bound to the computer system they're conjured in, and
cannot transport between computers.
The knowbot makes Intelligence ability checks using your
ability score and proficiency bonuses (including your
proficiency with hacking tools, if applicable).
You have a limited telepathic bond with the knowbot, out to
a range of 500 feet from the device or system where the
knowbot was conjured. If you move beyond this range, the
knowbot disappears in 2d4 rounds, as if the duration of the
spell had expired. Moving within range again immediately
reestablishes the bond. The knowbot is bound to the system
in which it was created and it stays there until it is dismissed
or the spell's duration expires.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 5th level or higher, the spell's duration increases to 1
hour. Additionally, your telepathic bond with the knowbot is

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You run your finger over any machine-readable data source (a
barcode, a computer disk, a USB drive, or any similar record)
to understand the content of the data. You experience the
data as it would normally be experienced through an
appropriate machine. For example, if reading a USB with
music, you hear the music in your head. If reading a word
processor file, you visualize and read an image of the page. If
reading a barcode, you see the serial number, pricing
information, or other barcoded data.
The amount of time required to experience the data is the
same as that required to read it by conventional means. You
can normally read 2 pages of documents in 1 minute. This
spell does not decode encrypted data. Without the encryption
code, an encrypted document or file appears as a seemingly
random string of characters. If you know the encryption code,
however, you can read encrypted data normally with this
spell.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 2nd or 3rd level, you can maintain your concentration
on the spell for 10 minutes. When you use a spell slot of 4th

spell for 1 hour.

see on a creature. The creature must succeed a Constitution
saving throw, causing the cybernetic part to (safely) detach
itself from the creature and fall to the ground on a failure.
The creature and cybernetic part take no damage from this
action, but must spend time to reattach this part if they wish
to use it or any of the accessories attached to it (a process
that takes about one minute).
At Higher Levels. You can target an additional basic
cybernetic part for each level of spell slot you use above 3rd
when casting this spell. The creature may make a new
cybernetic saving throw for each part you target.
Dominate Machine
5th-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You attempt to gain control of a construct within range. It
must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by
you for the duration. If you or creatures that are friendly to
you are fighting it, it has advantage on the saving throw.
While the creature is charmed, you have a telepathic link
with it. As a bonus action, you can use this telepathic link to
issue a command consisting of three words to the creature
while you are conscious, which it interprets literally and
axiomatically and attempts its best to obey.
If the target is not given new orders after completing its
directive, or cannot complete its orders on its turn, it makes a
new Wisdom saving throw against the spell at the end of its
turn. If the saving throw succeeds, the spell ends.
Additionally, it can make this saving throw if you or your allies
act in such a way to make its task more difficult, such as by
damaging it.

Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
This spell works exactly like the 'Scrying' spell (PHB pg 273),
except the sensor does not display the sights and sounds
directly to the caster. Instead, it saves it as a video. The caster,
and those still around the caster, may watch the video while
the sensor is still recording. This video can then be streamed,
uploaded, or otherwise shared in any manner that an
ordinary video would be. The video does not register as being
tampered with, but does register as magical to effects that
sense magic.

subsequent turns to cause this damage again.
If a creature is wearing or holding the object and takes

and surprisingly flexible makeshift armor for the spells
duration. A creature encrusted in this manner gains a +3

would normally destroy metal, such as those from a Rust
Monster or the Degradation spell.

The shape of the terrain is not altered, so rock walls, cliffs,
and mountains are unaffected. After the vehicle passes, the
road vanishes behind it, and the terrain regains its original
form.

round in combat or 40 miles per hour out of combat on this

Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 8 hours
You summon a spirit that assumes the form of a nonmilitary
land vehicle of your choice, appearing in an unoccupied space
within range. The vehicle can carry up to five medium sized
creatures. The vehicle has the statistics of a normal vehicle of
its sort, though it is celestial, fey, or fiendish (your choice) in
origin.
The physical characteristics of the vehicle reflect its origin
to some degree. For example, a fiendish SUV might be jet
black in color, with tinted windows and a sinister-looking
front grille.
You have a supernatural bond with the conjured vehicle
that allows you to drive beyond your normal ability. While
driving the conjured vehicle you are considered proficient
with vehicles of its type, and you add double your proficiency
bonus to ability checks related to driving the vehicle. While
driving the vehicle, you can make any spell you cast that
targets only you also target the vehicle.
If the vehicle drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving
behind no physical form. You can also dismiss the vehicle at
any time as an action, causing it to disappear.
You can't have more than one vehicle bonded by this spell at a
time. As an action, you can release the vehicle from its bond
at any time, causing it to disappear.
At Higher Levels When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd or higher, you can conjure a nonmilitary water
vehicle large enough to carry six Medium creatures. When
you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you
can conjure a nonmilitary air vehicle large enough to carry
ten medium creatures. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 7th level or higher, you can conjure any type of vehicle,
subject to the DM's approval.

vehicle in the area to move up to its movement speed in a
straight line, but not outside the cube. If the vehicle is already

one light source in the area. Creatures within 10 feet of the
light source that can see it must succeed on a Constitution
saving throw or be blinded until the end of your next turn.
Speakers. You are aware of all speakers in the spells area.
At the start of each of your turns, you can choose one speaker
or a machine with a speaker, such as a walkie talkie or

from the speaker must succeed on a Constitution saving
throw or take 3d8 thunder damage and be deafened for 1
minute.
Wires. Wires tear themselves out of the ground, floor, and
walls and begin sparking violently. When a creature moves

throw or take 2d4 lightning damage for every 5 feet it travels

700cd and a can of gold spray paint, all of which the spell
consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous
You touch a willing creature, conjuring up basic cybernetic
parts that replaces missing pieces of their body. The spell can
replace two missing body parts of your choice. The cybernetic
parts appears to be made of solid gold, but close inspection
reveals they have simply been covered in gold paint, which
can be chipped off or otherwise removed. The replacement
cybernetics can have upgrades applied to it, and exists
indefinitely. If the cybernetic parts are conjured to replace a
recent wound (such as a leg lost in combat) then the spell
safely cauterizes the wound, stabilizing the creature in the
process by returning them to 1 hit point (if they have less
than 1) and stopping blood loss in the process. Replacement
ears summoned using this spell come in pairs, even if the
target is only missing one ear, while eyes come individually.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 6th level or higher, you can restore one additional
missing body part for each level over 5th.

have spoken previously, as long as the two of you are on the
same plane of existence. When you cast the spell, the nearest
functioning telephone or similar communications device
within 100 feet of the target begins to ring. If there is no
suitable device close enough to the target, the spell fails.
The target must make a successful charisma saving throw
or be compelled to answer your call. Once the connection is
established, the call is crystal clear and cannot be dropped
until the conversation has ended or the spells duration ends.
You can end the conversation at any time, but a target must
succeed on a Charisma saving throw to end the conversation.

Components: M (a net of crossed wires)
Duration: 10 minutes
You can tap into and monitor electronic communications
using this spell. For the duration, you can faintly see waves in
the air that represent messages and networks sent between
two connected people. By using your action to physically
touch the waves, you can listen in to the conversation or read
the correspondence as if you were either the sender or the
receiver.
When you do so, you leave behind a trace that reveals your
identity. A creature that suspects its communication is being
monitored and is still using the same communication device
can use its action to make a Intelligence (Arcana) check
against your spell save DC, identifying your trace on a
success. This action can be made at any time unless your
trace is deleted from the system, and the creature can retry
its attempt once per hour if it remains suspicious.

the DM determines.
The typical rules for radiation (described in part 9) apply to
the radiation summoned with this spell. This includes the
rules for spreading radiation.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, you increase the level of radiation
by one for each spell slot over 3rd level, to a maximum of level
four radiation using a 5th level spell slot. Attempting to
summon higher levels of radiation is impossible due to the
detrimental impacts radiation has on magic.

in an area of level 2 radiation.
The standard rules for radiation (described in part 9) apply
to this spell. This includes the rules for spreading radiation.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 5th-level, the bonus to attack rolls increases to +2, and
the extra damage of each type goes up by 1d4. Also, the level
of radiation increases by 1. You cannot imbue an item with
more radiation than this because of the detrimental impacts
radiation has on magic.

10,000cd, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous
You restore a broken item, vehicle, or damaged construct to a
functional state, as if it were new and intact. Any pieces
missing from the item or construct remain missing.
Significant missing pieces may prevent proper functioning. If
the item uses charges, the item becomes fully charged.
A timeworn item becomes fully charged, but doesn’t lose
the timeworn condition (this spell is one of the few ways a
timeworn item can be recharged). For 1 hour after this spell is
cast on a timeworn item, that item does not suffer any chance
of glitching. Other consumables such as ammunition are not
restored.
When this spell is cast upon a damaged construct, all hit
point damage dealt to that creature is healed. When this spell
is cast upon a destroyed construct, it is restored to full
functionality and full hit points, provided no significant
portion of the destroyed construct (such as an entire limb) is
missing. Constructs brought back in this fashion regain their
memories up to the moment of their destruction and have no
particular inclination to serve the caster.

When you begin casting this spell, sirens blare in 1 mile
radius centered on a point you can see. At the end of the
casting time, there is a flash of light, a deafening boom, and a
mushroom cloud rises 1,000 feet into the air. Each creature
in a 360-foot radius sphere centered on that point must make
a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 12d12 radiant
damage and 12d12 thunder damage on a failed save, or half
as much damage on a successful one. If this damage causes a
creature to drop to 0 hit points, it immediately dies as the
blast vaporizes its physical form, leaving nothing behind
except a shadow seared into the ground or nearest structure.
This spell damages objects, structures, and items in the
radius as well. Any of these objects that are brought down to
0 hit points are also immediately destroyed and vaporized,
and may leave behind a shadow as well.
The blast from this spell spreads around corners and
through walls less than 20 feet thick within the radius.
Additionally, the point of the explosion is doused in level 10
radiation, which spreads out and drops down one level every
75 feet, as described in the radiation section of part 9. Level 1
radiation covers everywhere within 1 mile of the blast. The
radiation naturally disperses over the course of 1d10 years.

As part of the action used to cast this spell, you choose a point
you can see within range of the weapon, and fire your weapon
at that point. When the projectile arrives at the point, you
momentarily gain sight from its location. Immediately after,
you can redirect the projectile to make a ranged weapon
attack against a target you can see from the projectile’s
location, as if you had made the attack with the weapon.
You do not have advantage on the attack roll, even if the
target cannot see you.

Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a special glass syringe worth
10,000cd)
Duration: 1 hour
With a pinprick beam of arcana, you steal a sample of genetic
information from a target creature you can see within range
and bestow that information upon a recipient creature you
touch. The target creature need not be alive or even whole, as
long as you target part of a creature that has died within the
last 10 days.
The recipient creature gains one of the following traits
from the target creature that you choose: the target's
movement speed and types of movement, all of the target's
damage resistances, the target's special senses, or one of the
target's special traits, such as a ghast's Stench trait. If
selected, the DM decides which special trait, if any, the
recipient gains from the target creature. The recipient does
not gain any traits from the creature that do not result from
its race or monster statistics.
The recipient's appearances changes to resemble a hybrid
of the target creature and itself. These changes, as well as the
traits gained by the recipient creature, last for the duration.

explode. At your DMs discretion, this surge may cause further
damages or inconveniences.
Synchronicity
4th-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
The creature you touch feels reality subtly shifted to its favor
while this spell is in effect. The target isn't inconvenienced by
mundane delays of any sort. Traffic lights are always green,
there's always a waiting elevator, and a taxi is always around
the corner. The target can run at full speed through dense
crowds, and attacks of opportunity provoked by the target's
movement are made with disadvantage.
Synchronicity grants advantage to Dexterity (Stealth)
Checks, since the target always finds a handy piece of cover
available. Additionally, the target has advantage on all ability
checks made to drive a vehicle.
In the event that two or more creatures under the effect of
synchronicity are attempting to avoid being inconvenienced
by each other, the creatures engage in a contest of Charisma
each time the effects of the spells would oppose each other.
System Backdoor

Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Personal
Components: V, S, M (hacking tools)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
This spell allows you to bypass system security in order to
create a secure login on a foreign system. The login you
create allows you administrator-level privileges in any
computer system not enhanced through technomagic. The
login defeats any technomagic spells of 3rd level or lower.
Once the duration of the spell expires, the login and all
privileges are wiped from the system. System logs still show
the activity of the user, but the user identification cannot be
found or traced.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 5th level or higher, you are able to bypass technomagic
spells if the spell's level is equal to or less than the level of the
spell slot you used.
Technomancy
1st-level divination (ritual) (technomagic)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (oil stirred with a coil of wires)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
For the duration, you detect the presence of technology
within 30 feet of you. If you sense technology in this way, you
can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible
creature or object in the area that is of technological origin,
and you learn its rough function (weapon, cybernetic part,
robot, etc…). Using this spell grants you advantage on your
first Intelligence check made to understand how to use a
technological item.
This spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by
1 foot of stone or 3 feet of wood or dirt.
Telaros's Speedcycle
4th-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, s
Duration: 1 hour
A Large vehicle with two wheels and holographic circuits
appears on the ground in an unoccupied space of your choice
within range. The cycle has AC 10 and 10 hit points. It roars
to life whenever its controls are grasped. For the duration,
you or a creature you choose can ride the cycle, and one
creature can ride as a passenger. The cycle has a speed of
100 feet and can travel 10 miles in an hour.
Wherever the cycle moves, it leaves behind a brightly
chromatic, translucent wall of force behind it. The wall is 10
feet high and nothing can physically pass through it. It is
immune to all damage, but a 20-foot long portion of it can be
destroyed by a dispel magic or disintegrate spell. Portions of
the wall that the rider creates by moving the cycle vanish at
the end of the rider's next turn.
The spell ends if you use an action to dismiss it, if the cycle
is reduced to 0 hit points or more points, or if the cycle
collides with its walls or another substantial obstacle. The
walls of force vanish when the spell ends. If the spell ends as
a result of taking damage or a collision, the rider and
passenger both fall prone.
Change to Impulse's Speedcycle and make it match
with the motorcycle statistics. Also increase the
length of the wall it creates and let it turn in 90
degree angles instantly.

I
f you've read this far, you've made it to the DM's half
of the compendium. Congratulations! Because you've
read this far, I'm assuming you're interested in either
playing or creating a science fiction world for D&D.
While this compendium can be used for any high tech
setting with some reflavoring, the original purpose of
this compendium was to create and compile rules that allow
for playing D&D in a cyberpunk world. In the years I've spent
creating this compendium (just a few weeks over three years
as of the time I'm writing this), I've found that while a lot of
people have a general idea of what cyberpunk is, they rarely
have a very clear full picture. Because of this, I've written the
following essay to help you capture the essence of cyberpunk
in your worlds. At the risk of breaking my humility, I would
say I'm somewhat of an expert on this topic, as I have spent
the past three years researching this topic off and on, so
hopefully you find the information in the following essay both
insightful and engaging.

When creating a world, it's always of the utmost importance
to understand the setting you're creating your world in. When
I first started working on this compendium, the idea I had in
mind was to create (and compile with permission) a set of
rules that would allow players and dungeon masters the
ability to create and interact with a cyberpunk world. While
that's no longer the case, this manual is still heavily themed
around the cyberpunk subgenre, and most people are likely
going to use the manual to create a cyberpunk setting.
Because of this, I'm providing some information about what
exactly constitutes a cyberpunk setting, why cyberpunk is as
popular as it is today, and what you should focus on when
creating your own cyberpunk world.
What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a subgenre of fiction that I personally group in a
larger group of genres -- the punk genre. As far as I know
there is no definite declaration as to whether each punk
genre is a standalone genre, or a subgenre of the punk genre,
so I well may be mistaken in this belief. Regardless, I feel it's
important to understand what a punk genre is before one can
truly understand the cyberpunk genre.
Punk Genres
At their very core, punk genres are genres of fiction that
focuses on taking the technology from any given time period
and location and accelerating them to fantastical levels.
Dozens upon dozens of these genres have sprung up
throughout recent decades, and it's nigh impossible to keep
track of them all. Here's a few non-cyberpunk examples to
help give you a better idea.
130
Steampunk is a punk genre that combines steam based
technology with the cultural designs of Victorian England,
taking the technology and aesthetic of the culture to
fantastical levels to create steam based airships, cars,
buildings, and everything in between. Gears, leather caps
and clothing, and large green goggles are very common in
this subgenre. Simply going to Google or Pintrest will give
you great examples of art and Steamboy is a good movie
for reference.
Dieselpunk takes place during WWI, WWII, and the short
amount of time in between the two wars. It focuses on the
advancements of diesel powered machines by all
countries involved in the wars to boost up their militaries.
It generally has a gritty and dark feeling to it as large
diesel powered machines spew exhaust into the
atmosphere and clang across farmlands and battlefields.
Art from Mr. Werewolf (who did the art for Scythe) and the
movie Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow are great
reference points.
There are dozens additional punk genres, but even from
(steam and diesel), and then elevate that technology to
fantastical levels. Both take technology from a certain era,
and strictly stay within that time period and location.
Dieselpunk strictly takes place during the World Wars and
the time between them, and steampunk will virturally always
take place in Victorian England -- with the rare exception of
taking place in the Wild West (though it still happens in the
same time period, and many have taken to referring to this
setting as cattlepunk rather than steampunk).
Historically, there was a third qualification for punk genres,
though it has since died out. In the past stories in punk
genres had to focus on rebellion of some form -- hence the
term punk. Most often, this conflict would take place as the
classic man vs society, where the protagonist would usually
fight to regain some form of humanity that had been stripped
away from them by the advanced technology society depends
upon. As mentioned, this qualification has since died out
overtime as punk genres become more popular, widespread,
and diverse. This doesn't mean the theme of rebellion isn't
present in most examples of punk literature these days (in
fact quite the opposite is true as it remains one of the most
prevalent stories in punk genres today), but it does mean
rebellion is no longer considered essential for punk literature.
For an incredibly comprehensive and rather well done list
of all the different punk genres, look online at
sorcereroftea.com. Their post about the different punk genres
was the main source for this section.
Cyberpunk
So then, what is cyberpunk? At it's core cyberpunk is a punk
genre that focuses on expanding the computerized
technology of the near future. This means that cyberpunk
focuses on technology that is currently impossible, but will
likely be real within our lifetimes. Examples of these
technologies most popularly include flying cars, cybernetic
body enhancements, holograms, artificial intelligence, and
nanotechnology (though nanotechnology has recently begun
to branch into the nanopunk genre). As with all punk genres,
the gluttonous dependence on extremely advanced
technology in the near future is technically all one needs to
qualify their setting in the cyberpunk genre.
However, cyberpunk is the oldest and most popular punk
genre (starting in the 1970s if I remember right) so it has
several other exceedingly common themes that almost
everyone pictures when thinking about the cyberpunk genre
that a DM almost has to include in their world if they want to
use a cyberpunk setting. The most important of these is the
phrase Low Life and High Tech. This phrase emphasizes the
idea that while technology is at an all time high -- perhaps
even to a point where many would consider it to be magical --
the quality of life is at an all time low.

131
PART 12
Critters and Characters
Critters and Characters
A
t its core, Dungeons and Dragons is a combat
oriented ttrpg. Everything in the game's system
is centered around combat, including the
monsters themselves. As I said with everything
else in this book however, futuristic settings
require more technologically advanced creatures
to interact with to make the world feel more fluid. This
chapter covers two types of monsters: Critters and
Characters. Critters are your average run of the mill monster
(such as dragons or kobolds) that one can take and throw in
at any time to create a combat scenario. Characters are world
agnostic npcs of my own creation that are designed to be
inserted into your own world. They have a bit of lore, goals,
connections, and a statblock for if your players should decide
to fight them. Unlike the critters, not all characters will have
art, but they (ideally) should all be fascinating story and
worldbuilding tools you can plop into your own world without
much trouble.
Design Philosophy
Personally, I despise monsters that don't come with art. I'm
also not rich, and can't afford to commission dozens upon
dozens of pieces of art to create this section. I was stumped
by this problem for a while, until I eventually ended up with
the idea to create monsters that function as a form of
ekphrasis -- meaning I found the art, and then used the
preexisting art to create the monsters.
Challenge rating is another thing I struggled with when
creating these monsters, as I find it's near impossible to
calculate and simply doesn't do anything. A small pack of
kobolds can easily take out a large party of level 6 adventures
if the DM uses their traps properly, and lorewise a beholder
should be actually impossible to beat in any way. I decided to
solve this problem by simply not deciding a challenge rating
for any of my monsters. I don't think it's terribly hard to
determine if a monster is too weak or powerful for one's
party, so that shouldn't be an issue. Exp can be given out
based on the level of your party and how difficult the fight
was for them. If the party is level 4, then say the challenge
rating was 4 as well. Add or take away experience based on if
your party struggled through the fight or breezed through it.
To keep up to date with the current direction 5e is heading,
I've decided to not include an alignment for any of my
monsters as well. Individuals with a sentient or higher level of
thinking are diverse and unique among their own kind, and
while it's useful to have monsters one could always deem as
villains, it dooms that monster to ultimately become stale.
The ambiguity of morality among different members of the
same monster species is an especially powerful tool to use in
a cyberpunk campaign, making alignments (even for players
in my opinion) an outdated system that limits this potential. I
do believe some things should be kept the same (such as fey
being chaotic or devils being lawfully evil), but that's because
these alignments characterize and define the nature of the
race as a whole -- that is to say it's a centerpoint of their very
existence. I don't see the need to include alignment for these
types of creatures either, as it should be a sort of general
truth about the species.
Type
Monster types are perhaps the biggest piece of my design
philosophy, as some types fit well into a cyberpunk setting
while others don't. I'll walk you though my thought process
for each type here. This includes my general thoughts on how
each type can be integrated into a cyberpunk setting, along
with a few musings on rule changes that would help them
mesh better in the setting.
Aberrations. Abberations are lovecraftian beings that hail
from places beyond the known boundaries of reality. I think
this makes them really fit quite well into any potential setting,
including a cyberpunk setting. The vast majority of them are
naturally frightfully intelligent, making it easy for them to
manipulate and exist in a more advanced society. Abberations
are fine as they are, and I encourage you to use them at least
once in your campaign.
Beasts. Beasts are ordinary mundane animals that are as
uninteresting as can be. I find it hard to conceive that
livestock beasts such as cows and chickens would exist in
great number in a cyberpunk world when it could be so much
cheaper to simply grow meat in a lab. What livestock there is
would usually be reserved for the one percent, and wild
beasts (such as elephants or sharks) would likely go extinct
due to environmental destruction and poaching. Zoos and
aquariums housing larger beasts may exist, but would likely
be underfunded or run down. Small beasts (like rats, dogs, or
monkeys) on the other hand would be wildly widespread
amongst urban environments as both pets and pests.
Celestials. Cyberpunk is an exploration of a dystopian
near future society characterized by a heavy theme of societal
decay. Celestials are often portrayed as bright pillars of hope,
purity, and virtue, making them (and the gods they serve)
clash violently with the theme of the world. My advice to
remedy this is to simply not include any celestials in your
world, for reasons covered in my essay. Races like the
Aasimar can exist, but would be cut off from their angelic
guardians or parents. Spells and magic items that summon
or communicate with them can simply fail to work or become
lost. Refer to my essay for more exploration into this topic. I
do think it would be powerful to include fallen celestials, but
only one or two to demonstrate how even the holiest of
beings can become corrupted by society. If you do choose to
include pure celestials in your story, it should be at the climax
and represent a major point in the story.
Constructs. Constructs are what I consider to be one of
the "big two" of cyberpunk stories. They fit exceptionally well
into the genre, and work to explore the deeper themes
presented by it. Their ability to be mass produced on demand
makes them a potent source for cheap, fast, and reliable
armies, and can be used to any extent you desire to help flesh
out the world or create massive problems for your players.
Because of this, I would consider it wise to use a good
amount of constructs for combat or worldbuilding, and a
noticeable amount of the monsters in this compendium are
constructs.
133
 Dragons. Dragons. Everyone loves these reptilian
powerhouses of power, brutality, and treasure -- I mean,
they're even in the name of the game! The main problem
presented by dragons is they grow too large to properly
function in megacities without being hunted down for the
destruction they cause. To fix this, I suggest drawing
inspiration from Shadowrun, and allowing every true dragon
the ability to polymorph at will between their true form and a
humanoid form. Dragons could live in secret, never revealing
their draconic nature to the world, or they could reveal their
true nature to the world and just use their humanoid form to
(literally) fit into society. Whatever would fit their personality
and benefit them the most. I've already gone ahead and
applied this trait to all of my dragons in this compendium.
Elementals. I think these guys are just fine as they are.
They're not exceptionally awesome or terrible for this setting.
I have a bit of a different take on "true" elementals, and
generally consider them to be beings comprised entirely of a
single element. Critters like the Neon Elementals presented
within build on this thought process.
Fey. These beings generally symbolize excessive nature
and mirth. Believe it or not, I consider the fey (and the
Feywild) to be an excellent tool for a cyberpunk world, as they
function as a sort of antonym of the cyberpunk genre. They
could serve as a representation of nature by having the
feywild slowly wither and die out as nature in the Material
Plane is consumed without pushback. Fey could also serve as
a source of rebellion, be exploited for magic or parties, or
other means. I always thought a campaign where the Feywild
slowly merges with the Material Plane would be fascinating
in a cyberpunk setting.
Fiends. Contrary to celestials, I think fiends are great for a
cyberpunk world. A society becoming more acceptant (or
even reliant) on their "help" could create a really potent feel
of societal decay. Also unlike celestials, it's much easier to
portray fiends as technologically advanced beings, making it
easier for the players to digest the idea that fiends could offer
superior firepower, technological help, or even stock
information -- for a price of course.
Giants. Shocking as it may seem, a giant's main trick is
that they're huge individuals. In D&D, giants are subdivided
into two groups: true giants and others. The 5e Monster
Manual places the height of storm giants (the largest true
giants) at 26', which is honestly fairly small considering that's
under two stories tall. I suggest making true giants bigger, but
also keeping them away from megacities, unless you're going
for something like Attack on Titan. The only true giants I
could see willingly interacting with cities are Hill Giants, who
might sneak into the edges or slums to eat folk, and Cloud
Giants, who could live in the clouds above cities and would
probably interact regularly with corporations or other
powerful organizations. Smaller giants like trolls or ogres
could be used as muscle in any number of activities.
134
Humanoids. Humanoids are the second half of the "big
two" brought up in the constructs section. The city, nay the
entire world, should revolve around them in some way or
another. As I discussed in my essay, the most powerful part
behind the cyberpunk genre is redefining what it means to be
human, or searching for the humanity that was stripped from
the protagonist. Your story should follow some of these
questions, and humans should be a centerpoint of a lot of
your combat situations. I've tried to include a wide range of
humanoids that would be challenging for almost any level of
party. I've also updated most of the statblocks involving
humanoids in Appendix B to work better in a cyberpunk
world.
Monstrosities. Monstrosities fit well into any setting
imaginable. The 5e Monster Manual itself refers to
monstrosities as a "catch-all" for any critter that doesn't quite
fit into the other groups. Use them as you please.
Oozes. Again, oozes are yet another category that really
fits well into practically every setting. I've included a few new
ones that are more technologically advanced, but for the most
part just leave them as they are and put them in reasonable
places like dumps, sewers, or other places where filth is
common.
Plants. Plants are interesting, as they usually aren't the
first thing that comes to mind when considering a cyberpunk
setting. That's not to say they don't exist however, and house
plants could be common (though expensive), and a park
makes for a fine setting in cities -- though it would be more
interesting if it's large and overrun with crime, like New
York's Central Park with a bit more crime. The plants herein
are intentionally designed to be more mobile and hostile than
typical plant monsters. The reason for this is that as the sun
becomes blocked out by smog and the water and ground
becomes polluted, plants need to find another source of
energy. The next best thing is for plants to turn carnivorous
(which a number of plants already are), and to become mobile
to seek out better ground to take nutrients from.
Undead. The undead have actually been present in
cyberpunk stories for decades now, starting (as far as I can
tell) with the crossover -- called The World of Future
Darkness -- between Vampire: The Masquerade and
Cyberpunk 2020 that was published in White Wolf Magazine
in 1993. Bloodnet further popularized the mixture between
vampires and cyberpunk in 1994, and Shadowrun introduced
them in their 4th edition in 2005 as humans infected with
HMHVV. What I'm getting at here is that the Undead does,
and has for decades, mix very well with the cyberpunk genre.
Use them as you see fit.

A.E.V.
Ardent Enveloping Vehicles, otherwise known as A.E.V.s, or
smart tanks, are designed to assist civilians under attack.
They have no offensive capabilities, but they are almost
entirely impenetrable and are intelligent enough to take steps
to minimize risks to any occupants. They are hyper-protective
and their personality is sometimes described as "infuriatingly
saccharine."
Indecisive. A.E.V.s do their job well and protect, evacuate,
and relocate citizens whatever the cost. It is rare for them to
become distracted from a job, and even rarer for them to lose
a passenger. In fact, the only issues the A.E.V.s regularly face
stem from their lack of confidence in deciding who needs the
most protection.
Designated Protectors. A.E.V.s will often work with law
enforcement units, militaries, or powerful adventuring parties
to protect the "innocent masses" i.e. the general populace,
during times of calamity or great turmoil. However; this is not
to be confused with the idea that they work for these agencies
rather than with them. A.E.V.s think independently, and if they
decide the group they are working with is causing more harm
than good, they will readily leave the "harmful folk" to fend for
themselves while they escort civilians out of harms way.
Sweethearts. All A.E.V.s have an excessively protective,
caring, and sweet personality. They will constantly try and
convince their passengers that everything will be okay, and
constantly talk to them like children, much to the irk of their
passengers. Of course, they are seemingly oblivious to how
annoyed their passengers become while under their
protection.
Constructed Nature. A.E.V.s don’t require air, food, drink,
or sleep.
Why so fast?
At the end of the day, A.E.V.s are sentient vehicles
who are specifically designed to evacuate citizens
out of harms way. Because they are a vehicle, they
need a speed to match the other vehicles
presented in chapter 7. See chapter 7 for additional
rules on vehicles, including combat.

All-Terrain Treads. The A.E.V. ignores difficult terrain and
can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on
ceilings and sideways on walls, without needing to make
an ability check. It cannot take the Dash action.
Amphibious Modulation. The A.E.V. can travel over water
and other liquids as if they were solid ground.
Bomb Plating. A.E.V.s are covered in special plating
designed to resist explosions, and automatically take half
damage from all explosive devices.
Mobile Defense. The A.E.V. can comfortably hold up to nine
Medium or smaller creatures without squeezing. A
creature inside of the A.E.V. has total cover from outside
attacks and effects.
Shields. Creatures 30 feet or further from the A.E.V. cannot
target it with ranged attacks.
Actions
Flare Cannon. Ranged Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, range
150/600 ft., one target. Hit: The target and all creatures
within 5 feet of that target are blinded until the end of the
A.E.V.'s next turn.
Tank Rules
Very rarely and only in times of dire circumstances,
A.E.V.s will allow themselves to be equipped with
actual weapons in lieu of their flare cannons. In
such an event, replace their flare cannon with a
ranged heavy weapon attack, and increase their
challenge rating by one.
Fielder
The alien creature floats in place, seemingly observing it's
surroundings. As you watch it, all the metal in the area begins
to lift into the air and orbit around the creature, as if caught
in a powerful magnetic field produced by the being.
Fielders are bizarre aberrations with the ability to create
and manipulate powerful magnetic fields. They effectively use
these fields in combat to destroy those who oppose them, but
their lack of clearly defined goals makes it hard to tell exactly
what their plans are and who's opposing them at any given
moment.
Silent Schemers. It's commonly thought that fielders are
constantly coming up with various evil schemes, but nobody
is ever quite sure what exactly these schemes are. There are
two main reasons for this. One is nobody has seen or heard a
completed scheme, and the other is that Fielders never talk
about their schemes (or anything else) to anyone. Though
they can speak, they simply choose not to.
Devious Isolationists. While they wait for their schemes
to come to fruition fielders tend to dwell in abandoned places
with lots of metal. They rarely leave these places, and use
their abilities to force intruders out.
Nonferrous Attraction. The fielder's unique ability to
manipulate magnetic fields can impact all forms of metal, not
just ferrous ones. This ability extends to control over metals
imbued with magic as well.

Polarity Manipulation. The fielder has advantage on attacks
rolls against a creature if the creature is wearing metal
armor, has cybernetic parts, or is made of metal.
Magnetic Orbit. All medium and smaller metal objects that
aren't being worn or carried within 30 ft. of the fielder are
pulled 5 feet closer to it. A creature with worn or carried
metal objects must make a DC 10 Strength check to stop
the object from taking the same movement. Additionally,
small or tiny metallic creatures must make a DC 15
Strength saving throw, being pulled 5 feet closer to it on a
failure. If this movement brings the object into the fielder's
space, it begins to orbit around the fielder. Removing an
object or creature from orbit around the fielder requires a
DC 15 Strength check. If a creature begins to orbit the
fielder, it is considered to be restrained.
Actions
Multiattack. The fielder changes its magnetic field effect
and makes two tentacle attacks or the fielder makes four
tentacle attacks.
Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10ft., one
target. Hit: 9 (2d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage, and the
target must succeed a DC 13 Strength saving throw or
become grappled. If the target is metal, it has disadvantage
on the saving throw. A creature grappled in this way
continues to take bludgeoning damage until they free
themselves.
Magnetic Fields. The fielder is a natural master of magnetic
manipulation, and is constantly emitting a magnetic field.
As an action, it can change the field it's currently emitting.
The effects of each field lasts indefinitely, or until the
fielder changes its field. Fields have the following effects.
Repulse. The fielder repulses all metal away from it.
Movement towards the fielder by creatures wearing,
holding, or made of metal is made with halved speed.
Attacks against the fielder with metal objects are made
with disadvantage. Any creatures or objects previously
caught in the fielder's orbit are repulsed 40 feet away from
it and are no longer in its orbit. The fielder does not get its
bonus d6 with this field active.
Whirlwind. The fielder rapidly increases the speed of its
orbit, causing the metal objects caught within it to whip
around it in a whirlwind. Each creature that comes within
15 feet of the fielder takes 15 (3d6 + 5) slashing damage
every turn until it leaves the area. The fielder takes a -4
penalty to its AC while this field is active. 137

Gloom Surgeon
The small blue creature twitches compulsively before quickly
beginning to scurry around the dingy hovel it called a medical
room. As it picks up various rusty and surely unsanitary
surgical tools it knocks a cupboard open, revealing an
impressively large collection of all sorts of severed limbs and
pickled organs.
Gloom Surgeons are small fey critters that excel in the art
of surgery. It's often thought there's no feat they cannot
accomplish through surgical procedures, though their
unsanitary nature and bizarre habits tend to force people to
be wary of them.
Charitable Doctors. The medical feats gloom surgeons
are capable of truly rival all competition, frequently producing
results that would normally only be possible through magic.
The most notable part about these fey though is that they
always work for free, outright refusing to accept payment for
their work. This emphasis on working for free is so strong
gloom surgeons are easily offended by those who ask for a
price for their services, going so far as to turn them away in
rebuttal.
138
Gruesome Collectors. While their medical expertise is
rivaled by none, most sane people tend to avoid gloom
surgeons as they have a strong compulsion to "collect" pieces
of their patients they find interesting. Patients frequently end
up leaving a gloom surgeons office in a worse condition than
when they came in, cured of whatever ailed them but now
missing digits, organs, or entire limbs. The reason why they
do this is unknown, but it's commonly thought they find
taking pieces off of patients to be funny and keep these
collections to have a good laugh from time to time.
Unsanitary Environments. Despite their medical
prowess, gloom surgeons essentially refuse to work in
sanitary conditions. They never clean their instruments or
lab, leave body parts laying around in the open, and allow
pests to scurry around wherever they please in their lab.

Surgical Precision. When making an attack with its scalpel,
the gloom surgeon may attempt to slice an essential part
of the target -- such as a tendon or an artery. When it does
so it can only make one attack with its scalpel that turn.
On a successful hit with the scalpel using this ability, the
gloom surgeon can choose to damage one of the target's
arteries or tendons. If an artery is damaged in this way, the
target immediately begins to suffer from bleed-out (see
part 9). If a tendon is damaged, the target can no longer
use the limb the tendon was in, and must operate on half
movement speed if the tendon was in a leg (quarter
movement if both legs are targeted), or the inability to use
their arm for spellcasting or attacking if the target was an
arm. These effects can be removed with a lesser
restoration or better spell, and this ability does not apply
to constructs or undead.
Actions
Multiattack. The gloom surgeon makes three scalpel
attacks.
Scalpel. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one

Fabulous Items
 Fabulous Items

T
his chapter discusses two groups of items, magic
items and a new type of item known as
Experimental Technology.
In addition to the multitude of magic items
that are provided within the Dungeon Masters
Guide, compiled within is a large collection of
"Fabulous" items that are better suited for a high tech
campaign. Fabulous items is a simple term that includes both
magic items and a new type of item known as experimental
technology. Experimental technology is functionally the same
as magic items, they have varying levels of rarity and can
achieve wondrous tasks, but they operate on the principles of
science rather than on magic. Gameplay wise this only
includes one difference: conditions that would normally
suppress magic items, such as an Antimagic Field (pg. 213,
phb) fail to affect experimental technology to any extent.
Likewise, conditions that would suppress advanced
technology such as an Antitech Field (pg. 97) do affect
experimental technology and fail to affect magic items.
Experimental technology is highlighted by a new tag:
Experimental technology.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable
from magic." - Arthur Clarke
Magic Items A-Z
Air Duct Infiltration Suit
Wonderous item, very rare
This pair of worn blue coveralls resembles the kind many
janitors and maintenance workers wear when on the job; and
is a favorite of corporate spies. Four times per day the wearer
can use the suit to trigger a gaseous form spell, allowing them
to travel through a building's air ducts.
Action Packed Super Soaker
Wonderous item, legendary
This plastic water gun has a blue coloring and a yellow tank
where water is stored. The tank must be opened and refilled
with water after every three uses. A creature can use an
action to manually pump air into the squirt gun, increasing
the range of the gun by 10 feet and dealing one additional
damage dice with each pump. The liquid shot out from the
super soaker comes out in a five foot wide line and is
randomly determined by the table below.

Grey Umbrella. Uncommon. A slate grey umbrella with a
geometric pattern on the underside. When its command ,
word is spoken as a bonus action, this umbrella acts as a
shield, though it doesn't change appearance. The creature
attuned to it must have a spare hand to hold it, and must be
proficient in shields.
Clear Umbrella. Uncommon. A transparent umbrella. A
creature attuned to it can cast Leomund's Tiny Hut once per
short rest (though the hut must be transparent). The umbrella
itself stretches and bends into the hut.

ARCANOBOTS Action Figure
Wonderous item, common
ARCANOBOTS action figures are durable, articulated,
collectible robots powered by magic (though to most of the
world, this is just marketing hyperbole). When powered by
batteries, they respond to the verbal commands of their
owners. They come equipped with pop-out jet wings and
miniature "death ray" guns that deal light necrotic damage.
An ARCANOBOT filled with batteries operates for 24 hours,
at which point it becomes an inanimate, normal toy.
ARCANOBOT Action Figures are compatible with both Ionic
and Solar Coils.
An ARCANOBOT action figure has the following statistics:

Armory Cloak
Wonderous item, rare (requires attunement)
This cloak is made of stylish black fabrics and silk and
provides a +1 bonus to Dexterity and Charisma saving
throws.
When you attune to the cloak, however, you can hide up to
eight one-handed weapons within the cloak’s
extradimensional space. Alternatively, you can store one two-
handed weapon at the cost of two one-handed weapons. Only
the person attuned to the cloak may draw these items. The
cloak’s weight remains constant regardless of the number of
weapons hidden within it.
Bad Hair Day Clip
Wonderous item, uncommon
At first this seems like a cheap, plastic hair clip of the kind
found in most convenience stores, but closer inspection
reveals a tiny rune carved into the grip.
Curse. This cursed item contains a curse that causes the
person wearing it to suffer a -4 penalty on all saving throws,
Charisma checks, and Charisma-based skill checks.
Removing the hair clip requires a remove curse or dispel
magic spell.
Badge of Honor
Wonderous item, rare
A old west style metal sheriffs badge, well worn and quite
scratched up. Assailants targeting the creature wearing this
badge with a firearm have disadvantage on all attacks made
against them. Additionally, the creature wearing this badge
can sense whenever an attacker is aiming a firearm at them
by developing goosebumps.
Bandana of Clear Breath
Wonderous item, rare (requires attunement)
A black bandana with a skull face imprinted on the design.
When a creature attuned to this item folds the bandana and
puts it over their mouth and nose it will block out all gaseous
toxins, poisons, and sicknesses completely. This protection
extends up the face and will protect the creatures eyes as
well. The bandana does not protect against ailments that are
transfered through other means, such as consumption or
touch.
Beijing Special Brew
Wonderous item, rare
An old plastic bottle filled with dirty grey smoke. You create a
20-foot-radius sphere of poisonous, grey smog centered on
the bottle. The smog spreads around corners. It lasts for one
minute or until strong wind (21 or more miles per hour)
disperses the smog. The area inside the smog is heavily
obscured. When a creature enters the area for the first time
on a turn or starts its turn there, that creature must make a
Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes
4d4 poison damage and is wracked with a coughing fit,
leaving them incapacitated for one round. On a successful
save, the creature takes half damage and is not incapacitated.
After the smog has dispersed you can put the lid back on the
bottle, and the smog will regenerate after 48 hours.
Blackspot Seed
Wonderous item, rare
When planted, this seed takes one round to grow into a rose
beset by Black Spot fungus. While planted in the ground, this
rose creates a signal blackspot in a radius of 50ft where
mobile phone signal, wi-fi and other types of electronic
communication have no effect. The rose lasts for 24 hours
before withering and dying.
,
Bladegun
Weapon (firearm), uncommon (+1), rare (+2), or very rare (+3)
A bladegun is a magical simple firearm that transforms into a
magic short sword (and back again) upon command. Each
bladegun can be any simple firearm, but always transforms
into a short sword. The handgun and short sword versions of
the weapon possess the same enhancement bonus (+1 to +3).
Turning the handgun into a short sword -and vice versa- takes
an action. A bladegun in firearm form must be loaded with
the proper ammunition to fire (as any gun). Bladeguns always
transform back into the same firearm.
141
 Blue Tooth
Wonderous item, uncommon
Looking like a small piece of blue plastic, when placed into
your mouth it fits one of your molars perfectly like a filling.
While it is worn, it reduces the DC to hack any item with
bluetooth capability by 5.
Borrower's Wallet
Wonderous item, common (requires attunement)
A wallet of any design. It appears to be empty to all but the
attuned creature. A DC 16 Intelligence (Investigation) check
can see through the illusion. The illusion fails to hold up to
physical inspection - someone holding the wallet might feel
that it holds heavy change for example.
Bubblegum of Feather Fall
Wonderous item, uncommon
A simple piece of chewing gum, often taking the form of
colorful gumballs with feather designs printed on the outside.
A creature chewing this bubblegum can take an action to
blow a massive bubble capable of slowing their rate of
descent as if under the feather fall spell. Each piece of gum
can only be used in this way once before it loses its magical
properties.
Bulletproof Shirt
Wonderous item,

Modernized Dungeons
 Insert Title

I
n a world with modern or higher technology, dungeons
need to be upgraded to better protect what's within
from advanced players. This chapter aims to detail
how to upgrade dungeons in such a way by adding in
new rules for things such as cameras and sensors,
traps such as turrets and bombs, and any other more
general suggestions. To help you visualize these suggestions,
I'll also be including several dungeons I made myself and
detailing how they function and what new things you might
want to take note of. Feel free to use these dungeons yourself
whenever you want.
Building a Dungeon
Anytime you start building a dungeon, some of the first things
you should consider are the dungeon's purpose and location.
These two factors often feed into and determine each other.
Some modern examples can be seen in the short list below.
Location Purpose
Holds the banks reserves of
Underneath a Bank
cash and valuables
Used for secret government
A seemingly abondoned
or corporate human
hospital
experiments
An "off the books" corporate
Hides secret corporate
laboratory away from
experiments
civilization

Of course, these two things don't always have to match, and

they can often be much more memorable when they don't. In
my experience, these types of dungeons should be used
sparingly

The Internet
 Internet
The Internet is a plane of existence that is separate from the
multiverse as a whole. In a sense it both does and does not
exist, being entirely artificial it is not a plane that formed
naturally. Being entirely wireless, it does not physically exist
on any plane of reality and cannot be physically interacted
with. Though the Internet cannot be physically interacted
with, a user can access it mentally via the use of drugs,
cybernetics, or magic. There are two levels in the Internet,
which are explained in further detail in chapter __. Below are
some examples of what notable locations on the internet
might look like.
A massive marketplace where millions of people gather to
purchase legal (or illegal) goods and services
The dank, dismal lair of a dreaded Shippaisha Dragon
A secure vault owned by a large bank that houses all of
their digital currency
A forum where pirates gather to distribute all kinds of
stolen media for free
An old, corrupted area of the Internet where dangerous
viruses run rampant seeking to corrupt more of the
Internet

Organizations
 Organizations
Organizations are the bread and butter of any cyberpunk and
most sci-fi stories. I've taken the liberty of separating the
organizations provided into two different types: factions and
megacorporations. Factions are powerful groups of people
who function together to achieve a singular goal, whether it
be global domination, keeping secrets, restoring balance, or
other similar activities. Many factions operate in and rely on
secrecy, often posing as other organizations or working in the
shadows to achieve their goals. Megacorporations on the
other hand are large corporations that hold one or several
monopolies on the global market. They often are the only
producers of their type of product and work swiftly to stifle
and crush any objection to their operations. Many
megacorporations hold enough economic power to create
their own government, or at least influence and control the
governments they interact with.
