Spycraft Boot Camp I - v1 - Crafty Games

Standard-Issue Gear
Nightsuit: Similar in purpose to the ghillie suit, this solid
black, skintight outfit makes the wearer extremely difficult to see
in dark conditions. If the character does not move and remains in
shadow, opponents have a –4 penalty to Spot and Surveillance
checks. However, in well-lit conditions, the nightsuit stands out,
giving others a +2 bonus to these same checks. Since the outfit is
so form-fitting, very little of the body’s curves or bulges are
concealed from any viewer; agents increase their Charisma bonus
by 50% when using the Bluff skill to seduce someone while
wearing one of these outfits. However, any Charisma penalties are
doubled!
Budget Point Cost: 5 Weight: 2 lb.
Actual Cost: $250
"Op art" license plate: This license plate has a special coating
to produce an iridescent sheen. The numbers and letters on the
plate are deliberately blurred, making it almost impossible (-20 to
Spot checks) to read clearly.
Budget Point Cost: 6 Weight: 1/2 lb.
Actual Cost: $200
Pannier Bags: This set of two bags can be fitted to any bicycle
or motorcycle, allowing the agent to carry up to 30 lbs. on the
vehicle without counting against his own carrying capacity.
If used on a bicycle, each 10 lbs. in the panniers results in a –1
penalty to Driver skill checks. Panniers fit on opposite sides of the
vehicle and must be balanced in weight distribution, or penalties
accrue for every 5 lbs. instead of every 10 lbs. Removing or attaching
a single pannier takes one round.
Budget Point Cost: 2 Weight: 1 lb.
Actual Cost: $50
Portable Evaporation Still: This device consists of two yards
of plastic sheeting and a plastic collection container. The user digs
a hole, places the collection container inside, and covers the area
with the sheeting. Moisture condenses on the underside of the
sheeting and collects in the container. Provides one liter of water
per day in most deserts; twice that in an non-arid region.
Seawater stills are available as one-piece self-contained units.
Budget Point Cost: 1 Weight: 3 lb.
Actual Cost: $50
Portable Ram: A heavily weighted device that fits to the
user’s body with a special stock, the portable ram is used to smash
through locked or barricaded doors in a minimum of time. Police
often use such devices to surprise unsuspecting felons in rundown
tenements. When employing a ram to burst open a door
(but not a wall or other solidly constructed barrier), the character
treats his base Strength as doubled for this purpose only. All
Strength points added by this feature are a circumstance bonus.
The ram is too bulky and unwieldy to be used as a weapon.
Budget Point Cost: 2 Weight: 10 lb.
Actual Cost: $250
Snakebite Kit: A snakebite kit gives a bonus to First Aid
checks against bites or stings from venomous creatures (e.g.
snakes, scorpions, spiders, bees, poisonous fish). The kit is most
effective when used immediately after the bite (+2 to First Aid if
used within 2 minutes). If 2-10 minutes elapse, the bonus drops to
+1; beyond ten minutes, the kit has no game effect. For a typical
poisonous bite, use the Contact Poison stats found in the Spycraft
Espionage Handbook, page 238.
Budget Point Cost: 1 Weight: 1/4 lb.
Actual Cost: $12
Soft-Soled Boots: Designed for use with a nightsuit, these
solid black, dull leather boots have thick, padded soles specially
treated to spread the wearer’s weight as broadly as possible.
As long as the character moves at half normal speed or less, they
9
receive a +1 gear bonus to Move Silently checks when walking
(there would be no bonus if climbing, hanging from the ceiling,
and so forth).
Budget Point Cost: 2 Weight: 2 lb.
Actual Cost: $150
Stool, folding: This stool folds for easy storage and transportation.
When opened, its adjustable legs can be shifted to fit
easily over branches or small rocks, making the stool ideal for use
on mountains or in trees. The seat is made of camouflage webbing.
Budget Point Cost: 2 Weight: 1 lb.
Actual Cost: $30
Suction Grips: These very large suction cups strap to a
climber’s forearms and knees, allowing them to climb up glass surfaces
(like skyscraper windows) silently and without a rope.
Climbing speed is the same as with rock climbing, but the character
suffers no penalties to Move Silently checks while doing so.
However, these items will not permit climbing over any surface
that is not perfectly smooth and flat, such as glass or metal.
Excessive dirt or grime can force penalties to Climb checks at the
GC’s option, but rain is not a hindrance.
Budget Point Cost: 3 Weight: 4 lb.
Actual Cost: $200
Tire Patch Kit: This boxed set allows the character to repair
flat tires on bicycles. The kit includes patches, rubber cement,
tire levers, and compressed air pumps capable of inflating a completely
empty inner tube in seconds. Making repairs requires
15 minutes and a successful Hobby (bicycling), Mechanics,
or Sport (bicycle racing) check at DC 12. If the check fails by 5 or
more, the patch appears to hold, but fails within an hour. A patch
kit can repair up to 8 flats.
Budget Point Cost: 1 Weight: 1/2 lb.
Actual Cost: $10
Utility Belt: This web belt includes numerous hooks for small
items that the wearer needs to have close at hand, such as a cell
phone, flashlight, pepper spray dispensers, handcuffs, and the like.
These items can be carried without special pockets or a backpack
and may be retrieved or replaced as a full action (or a half action
if the character has the Quick Draw feat). Items larger than Fine
size are, however, visible to anyone who can see the character.
Budget Point Cost: 1 Weight: 1 lb.
Actual Cost: $100
UV headlights: These headlights have three settings: off,
normal, and UV (in place of high-beam). The UV beams are
invisible to normal sight but, when combined with UV goggles,
allow the driver to drive as if using normal high-beams. The headlights
are packaged in pairs.
Budget Point Cost: 6 Weight: 1/4 lb.
Actual Cost: $150
White noise generator, handheld: This remote-control-sized
device creates a low-level white noise within a twenty foot-radius.
All listening and recording equipment trained upon or used within
that area are at –20 on their Listen checks . 6. 1 lb. $150.
