Sample Mechs and VIs

Droids are a part of life, as are Virtual intelligences, or VIs. Here are a few examples of common models, their costs, and capabilities. See also: Main VI & Mech page

CHAKRAM Combat drone

Approximately the size of a Frisbee, and commonly seen clipped to an Engineer's belt with it's small pincers, this inexpensive drone is often deployed to distract enemies and take down their shields using it's powerful integrated tazer. Due to its light weight and aerodynamic shape it can be hurled up to (Strength x 5) meters as a simple action, whereupon it will take flight and act immediately. These units are especially potent in the hands of Engineers, who can boost their meager stats and augment their tests using tech pool dice.

Omni-Tools

Omni-Tools make engineers the technological wizards that they are. Strictly speaking, an Omnitool isn't a single device, but a system of which the engineer is a part. Physically there are a few large components scaterred throughout the body and brain, along with innumerable nano-machines which perform distributed computing using every cell in the Engineer's body. When in use for most purposes the omnitool manifests as a translucent gauntlet on one of the Engineer's arms.
True to it's name, the omnitool replaces nearly all other tools, capable of holographic projection and the manipulation of force fields, as well as the manipulation of matter at the subatomic level, an Engineer's omnitool is capable of feats that no other device can match.

An Omnitool handles an Engineer's computing and communications needs, while also allowing the use of Electronics and Build/Repair skills for most tasks unaided. It enables Engineers to use Tech and Hacking Abilities.
Due to the interface of their consciousness with their Omnitool, Engineers have a HUD that keeps them apprised of the various processes and calculations they're running at any given time. For especially visually-intensive information however, most prefer to use a holographic projection, as this avoids the need to split perception dice between simsense and the real world.
