csyphrett Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 HERO Member 10.3k Posted just now The twelve things to be picked: one home base, which must be anchored to the ground or space-time or something. While it might be in a fixed orbit, or be disassembled and reassembled elsewhere, such "motility" is highly restricted. As an example: Deep Space 9 is a base, but Enterprise NCC-1701 is a starship. one Spaceship or Aircraft one Land Vehicle. A horse or similar living mountbeast does not qualify here, but a robotic one could. one Water Vehicle. Similar comment about living creatures being disqualified. Personal ranged weapon: Green Lantern Power Ring one melee personal weapon one other item of personal equipment (armor, sensory apparatus, fly-belt, love philtre, universally useful trinket, nonsentient computer, food/drink synthesizer, whatever) one magic spell, incantation, mathematical theorem, or similar created tool/weapon/capacity with no material component : John Taylor's third eye. (From the Night Side, this is Taylor's ability to find things, even weaknesses in shields.) one book, scroll, tome, map, database, recording, or similar read-only fixed-content knowledge store. one nonliving* robot, android, or other sentient artificial nonliving character, though it may not be easy to distinguish from a living being one inventor/artificer/gadgeteer character. This is your nominal hero, and must be a living* biological creature, though not necessarily human one free option ... possible uses include a sidekick, or perhaps a hero who uses a bunch of this stuff, could be another spiffy piece of equipment that doesn't fit easily into any of the above slots, or perhaps you want a second battleship or something, or maybe your hero wants to ride a horse (and a living horse does not qualify as a Land Vehicle). Creative uses of the option pick are encouraged. The free option cannot be among the first six items picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She looked down at the item: it resembled a largish electronic calculator which looked insanely complicated. It had about a hundred tiny flat press buttons and a screen about four inches square. She was relieved to see, however, that it had the words "DON'T PANIC" inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover. --- one book, scroll, tome, map, database, recording, or similar read-only fixed-content knowledge store.
