A power beltpack is an 8”x3”x2” box that attaches to
a character’s belt. It comes with three different power
cords that can be plugged into three distinct outlets in
the side of the unit. One port is for weapons, one is for
screens, and one is for auxiliary equipment such as
scanners or radios. Only one weapon and one screen
can be plugged into a beltpack at the same time.
Beltpacks can be recharged at a cost of 250 Gp.
Recharging can be done at any weapons shop,
hardware store or fuel station.
The power beltpack has three times the energy
stored than the power pack. If only one unit is plugged
into it, then it has tripled the listed number of
charges/time. If two ports are in use, then both units
have 1.5 times their listed charges/time. If all three
ports are in use, then each unit has the normal amount
of charges.

ARMOR
Armor is normally made for a specific race. The DM
can impose penalties on a character who wears the
armor of a different race. Armor cannot be worn at the
same time with suits, as they will interfere with each
other.
Each type of armor consists of a full set. The player
can presume that his character, as part of the set of
armor, gets the type of headgear appropriate to the
armor. The player may imagine other appropriate
armor components as he chooses – gauntlets,
